The Click

There was a click!
The click was what made I and I tick.
In the speech, culture, way of life, connecting community.
There was a click!
The click was what made I and I tick.

Of all humans, the oldest DNA is of Africans.
The pygmies among them, to their own tune they dance.
Their speech has the click. So still does their culture.
Advancing with life, because on death preys the vulture.
And destruction and death came. Downpression and pain.
After it, less of the original click seemed to remain.

There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.
In the speech, culture, way of life, connecting community.
There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.

African retentions among Africans enslaved in the West.
Babylon taught the people to detest. And instead invest.
In an oppressive Babylon system, with which there was no click.
Alienating from one’s own being, is what they used as trick.

There was a click!
The click was what made I and I tick.
In the speech, culture, way of life, connecting community.
There was a click!
The click was what made I and I tick.

Some go to a similarly alien and oppressive alternative.
Differences of slavery and deracination, but only relative.
Totalitarianism as religion. Downpression through the supernatural.
Trying to destroy the original click within I and I. There as natural.
Semitic languages’ guttural sounds, sound in Amharic like a click.
Amharic is Semitic with a click, as African and Ethiopian as Semitic.

There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.
In the speech, culture, way of life, connecting community.
There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.

Sucking teeth sound is found in Africa and among Africans uprooted.
A sound of dismay, called upon more and more because it suited.
Dismay because of all the loss, humiliation, and downpression in Babylon.
Yet besides sucking teeth, the African click is still there to call upon.

There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.
In the speech, culture, way of life, connecting community.
There is a click!
The click is what makes I and I tick.

Bath, St Thomas, Jamaica

My path revealed a bath that healed..Not just any bath, not just any path.

Full of mosquito bites, from head to toe, muddled in the tropical sun and rain.
Still many sights and things to know, somewhere between fun and pain.
Wicked criminals playing with my mind, I have to be aware.
It’s no truth, it’s false, relief I won’t find. It’s self-interest, not true care.

My path revealed a bath that healed.. Not just any bath, not just any path.

I never lost hope, but had to mistrust. Good and bad can be close to each other.
I tried to cope, relaxing seemed a must. Yet someone off guard the wicked will bother.
I’ve done no wrong and my journey is long. Too much confusion in Babylon.
Yet I sang my song, kept faith all along. Even after finding out the con.

My path revealed a bath that healed..Not just any bath, not just any path.

The negative will not win at the end. The balance turns to the good.
For as I live, to righteousness I attend. A reward will come, I know it should.
The artificial and the unreal did not bring relief. I wondered then what could be done.
Natural water, hot and cold, I felt for real, not mere belief. And all mosquito bites were gone.

My path revealed a bath that healed..Not just any bath, not just any path.

Death

Death is absolute, a life has ended....

Can’t be undone, can’t be mended....


When a loved one dies, your mind will stray....

Memories clash painfully with a future taken away....


With a life seemed to have stopped support and inspiration....

Life seems to need other life to inspire creation....


You may even mistakingly regret your love, for increasing only the loss’s pain....

You overwhelmed yourself with emotions, difficult to contain....


Yet the body may die, but the spirit of love is everliving....

And so are the moments shared, of true loving and giving....


Death is absolute, but it is not real....

Because now you find the love you really feel ....
