Who will befriend me an infinite years from now,
if I were to descend from heaven with no
knowledge and memories of my past lives once
again? Will I be cast aside, and sentenced
to death by poverty, or will I be remembered
and honored in spite of my skin tone and family
name? Friends, who will appreciate a dark skinned
boy an infinite years from now, if I were to
be reborn into poverty with even more skill sets
and gifts chained within my consciousness? ?
Will I again be labeled as an ancient and schizophrenic
warlord, or will I finally be embraced
and uplifted for all of the wrong reasons?
Beautiful poem. Enjoyed the way the theme got developed and it's close-to-heart narrative. And the conversation between Bri and the poet was quite informative. Thanks
This is the first poem I've had offered to me after I published/submitted to P-H my latest poem, offering to share a place in an upcoming 'showcase' to most all poets who offer me a poem to use. bri ;)
I have 'trouble' understanding all of the poem, besides not knowing if I even saw all of the lines (not the poet's fault, I'm sure) .
The poems is about some humans being reborn without any memories of their past lives... and as a result having to rise from poverty and doubts... and from the negative stigmas of schizophrenia too...
line 1: maybe 'in' instead of 'an'? 'will I be casted aside' I'd use 'cast aside' (not casted) I don't know what line it's in because computer gives me trouble recently. ! ;)
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
Who knew? ? Not me, Bri. ;) 'The name Anakin is primarily a male name of American origin that means Warrior. Anakin is a name created by filmmaker George Lucas for the STAR WARS film franchise for his main character'
Anakin Zeniest... as in, the most self-aware being in creation has a natural Anakin Skywalker complex by genealogical design... maybe... the theme of the poem.... too sane Bri... lol
