Family Reunion Poem by THEODORE MOSLEY

Running to escape the chains of distant time and the whips of our spirit we fall prey to them.
Our homeland became the invasion of corrupt thinking that defined worthless thinking.
The battle of tears the battle of flesh became the uproar of minds to sustain broken dreams.
Degraded for living in our habitat of love, time misused our heartbeats for fatal attractions.
The valley of despair delivered our songs to the mountaintop to override the multitude of afflictions.
The Rain Forrest of deception camouflaged the pinnacle of love that nature intended within us.
On the hills of destruction our foresight propelled nights of endless creation to testify.
The flesh of chains yesterday erupted like Mount St. Helen; education was our revelation.
Classified with the blueprint of architectural designs the black man transcends their understanding.
With skills of unparalleled diversity the African American being surpassed American History.
Their investment of our transportation to secure us expelled the family reunion to quicken our lives for pretense.
