EMBITTERING SUN

EMBITTERING SUN

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

The day begins in the security of God.

As we search within ourselves

this gatekeeper resists the temptations

that keeps mankind on its blade

cutting the flesh of others, and mercilessly

dismissing the Spirit within.

The day begins with a yellow Orb.

Into the World of Light we see clearly

abstracting ourselves against the threads

that bind our brotherhood.

Unforgiving, we are a ruination, a shadow

of what 'peace and love' embroiders.

The day begins with hope by my side.

She, is a woman I love

who has taught me more than any Science.

We bloom in a circle

and there will many outside the perimeter

caustic and fighting, for

there is no reprieve in their thinking.

As daily as the Sun is routine

our consciousness has the same avails.

Rising and falling we are a crescendo

lifting others by our Blessings.

If we harm the intelligence

than we are becoming a boring bit.

Become a dream driver …

… do not let dreams die … at the hands …

of a black embittering Sun.
