Back To Mama Poem by Lee Imuede

Back To Mama



Take me back to Mama
Under whose bosom we began,
That her soothing pat of invocations
May gape the part we once sought.

Take me back to Mama,
That her spittle of benison
May allay this ominous tide
That burkes our posterity hence.

Take me back to Mama,
That her vengeful rain of tears
May wash off these routine massacre
Meted out on her Justice offspring.

Take me back to Mama,
That her didactic moonlight tales
May restore the canons of bond
We once silhouetted in ages past.

Take me back to Mama,
In whose court our Power of love
Overcomes our love for Power
And nooses us in parity's passage.

Take me back to Mama,
That the chants of her orison
May have our mettle heralded,
Like the echoes of a thousand thunders.

Let her wraith rid us of this undoing.
Let her court rule just and Supreme.
Let this part once sought outcrop
And let it take me back to Mama.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The poem is metaphorical and replete with imagery and symbolism in which case the words employed are meant to create such mental pictures as to where every burgeoning was void of evil, injustice and decadence just like the ways of our ancestral mamas.
