Liberation
I am not native
to the land I occupy
it was never my inheritance
yet here I am in the very flesh
a man living outside
his own home
having learned less from teachers
& more from those
who had less
My spirit (on the other hand)
resides in the land I occupy
embedded into the fabric of a present
that doesn’t exist in the physical world
Evolving into death
should be a lengthy process
yet far too many have freedoms
that become death traps
resulting in body after body
recycling in the incinerator
soul after soul dying for a new life
in a land far far away
december two thousand twenty-three
