by Tim Kavi
like tears
in the
bleeding snow
cries
of the oppressed
have come
undressed
before all
the world
superpowers
wonder
at what
fate has
unfurled
everywhere
the small
the least
and unknown
are hurled
towards the
lands of
unfulfilled hope
they walk
arm in arm
hearts bound
by a strong rope
of freedom's cause
to the place
where chains
are tossed
and no one's
dreams are lost
freed from
tyranny's fraud
walking ones
persist
in long time
you will be kissed
if by none
except those
that follow
never forgotten
our futures secure
only by what
it has cost.
AFTERWORD: This poem was written in April of 2008, and posted on another blog I had at a social media site. The message seems prophetic almost, as it seems to fit 2011 completely.--T.K.
