Truants



By Charles Sapp II


Those truant to the encompassing magnitude of tribunal gatherings,

where the world has spoken in unison.


As the perilous planet pirouettes through space,

beings cling to her surface with heads bowed with prayers of mercy.

The future has come,

what was told has been said;

what was written has been read.


Time’s translucent dictation of the past

and reoccurring present, will heed no more warnings.

The Earth has crumbled under the sheer weight of burden,

and trees have walked away with their roots.

The untamed wind hunts stealth with savage fierceness

and the tumultuous seas trespass the shore’s boundaries

in pursuit for vindication from unlawful treason.


The soil that has given birth to nameless children,

must now identify their selves.

The watchful eye of the Sun will now look away

as the Moon marks shame to the naked walkers of the night.

The planet will claim its independence as it existed before.


The world has spoken,

we have not listened,

evolution is in progress;

the delay is negligent

and time will not wait.

Possession




By Charles Sapp II


Rapid breathing,
pulse racing
heart pounding complicated rhythms
and blood streaming at the speed of light.

Eye fluttering REM,
adrenaline overdose
verbal murmurs in native tongues
of an ancient language.

Possessions of ancestors
inhabited body
escaping mortal rest from invigorated souls.
Dreams of the days
when the Earth’s heartbeat was strong and mature
and man had a conscience and embraced nature.

Solar eclipses foretelling the future
and fire was the spirit of ghosts
with fiery passion,
spreading their knowledge of light in the dark.
God spoke freely and often to those that obeyed.

Restlessness invades sleep
as centuries of the past overloads the brain
and bones become brittle to the countless walking of landscapes
without borders and limitations.

All this at the age of 9
as the cyclic cycle of moon phases
return once more and the seasons prevail
shortened and lengthened by the elliptical nature of orbit
One will awaken with history
and that of another’s voice.
