Baba Galleh Jallow <[log in to unmask]> wrote:   It’s All Right….


It’s all right when
Grains of sand swell
To mountains and
Scour puny little things groping
On the face of this dusty earth crying
For food crying
For peace to feed their starving kith
And kin

It’s all right when
Truth becomes wet clay
Amorphous!
Can be molded into lies transformed
To sweet nothings to feed
Illusions
Of divine grandeur wretched
Repulsive!
To the sight of innocence prostrate
Prostituted!
By puny little giants riding
On the weeping back of decency

Oh no!
It’s all right
To kill and bury
Obliterate!
From the face of the earth
Our words of yesteryear
Erase
From the slate of salty history
All that will not sugar our hearts
All that will not feed our egos
All that!
All that will not tell us
We are forever right!
Just!
Even if we live in a house of lies!

No!
It’s all right brother
‘Cause we have a horse and a spear
To be Don Quixote de la Mancha
For whom pots are helmets
And windmills soldiers!

- Baba G. Jallow
