The Humanity Tree

 

 

 

the Taste Of Freedom

is not in a freedom

song, whether or not

we know the lyrics,

ever knew passionate

sonatas of fallen grace,

or have forgotten every

battle hymn we learned along the way,

our long long walk

though out human history,

 

the Place of Freedom

is not a Prayer facing East,

or a tear-stained face wailing

against a wall in Jerusalem, or

a Pledge of Allegiance to any flag,

an homage to a cracked mission bell in

Philadelphia,

 

it is not a small flame or a roaring bonfire

into which hatred and fear are thrown in

like sentimental ghosts of an enduring past,

the scent of rosewood and apples wafting

to the stars,

 

freedom is not a putrid shade of green,

in an open, empty and dirty prison cell,

smatterings of blood on its walls, nor

a well-used cane discarded,

nor a white-washed bed flowering with

starched roses of St. Theresa, in an easy

peaceful death,

 

Freedom is a branch

from a living tree,

pruned

by unseen hands,

 

binding the Darkness to the Light.

 

 

 

Love and Peace,

Anna
