Little Guy Worries, Poem, Sunday Muse #125

Safe for a Bit?

We missed the arrow today 

Reminder for 'nother day 

While the children are playing 

They know not harm while

 they swing 

Watching closely now I'll be 

Could scamper, quick to the trees 

Shaft's a symbol of our plight 

Against them we cannot fight

The Spirit Cannot be Killed

"In order to rise from its own ashes, a Phoenix first must burn."

Octavia Butler

The Phoenix; how many times 

How many times must this bird be burned 
Kill her cannot be she'll rise again 
Stronger and stronger each time she burns 
From those ashes of her spirit comes 

Stronger than always does she arise 
Burn baby burn was the cry last time 
We will rise  stronger each time we burn 
In our hearts on the streets we must burn 

And from those ashes we come again 
'Tis true each time new freedoms are won
