TRAGIC Poem: 1619-2024 by Lanette Ware-Bushfield

Blood states
shattered fates
fractured flaws
entwined
Through severed chords
and haunted eyes
that trace
Jars holding scars
zip spines and cruelly bind
sorrow’s that grip the numbness
Find their place.
The snow crashes down
hatred’s bitter frost aligns
Decency fades
and farewells echo
clear Moonlight distorts confusion’s
web unwinds
Beneath the sun lost paths reappear
Illness ravages
fate in dizzy days
we mourn
Rights and adversaries lost
through disbelief and smoldering haze
systems burned we comb
Monty’s haul
a king’s misguided
reprieve
In loss and desolation
we bend hell set on
Being within our Heart’s shattered destiny
now who’s free? Be.
