Theft of Self
To study in the dimming shadows of oversight one must learn to feel for truth
and manifest a practical faith
an even deeper study.
Then, one must endure the witnessing of discarded essential elements.
One must remember and remap their tombs,
to be regathered and reassembled,
to be righteously deposed.
Africana studies makes a long pass
through an ancient and angry valley
that has been known by many names.
An anthology of half-truths must be studied
and suffered
in the same life and body, by the wrighted one.
The thrash and burn of a treacherous sea
that smiles and bites with the same mouth
halved.
This journey calls a man with tenacity like Noah,
a wheelwright who contemplates in the storm
"The Theft of Self".
"Dr. Serie McDougal,
ON YOUR FEET!"
demands an admirable admiral.
