Non sequitur by Yatta

Written by Yatta on Wednesday, 21 of January , 2009 at 5:24 pm

No seed to grow lives here
These are just things
To be

No room to fill here
These are voids
Spaces, negate

No smiles to be seen here
These are the spasms of strain
A force in social nature

No soul to guide resides here
These are the hollows of memory
Forgotten, thoughtless

Draw deep, my breath
Feel all, my soul
Consume more, my eyes
And tell!

Tell what cannot be spoken
The fright of truth
The light to darkness

Freeze not my spirit
For you are unique
You are no citizen to such

So much cannot be
To you all is bursting
Your language ancient
Misunderstood
Devalued

You must retrace
You must retrack
You must unlay the path

These like they
Know not the nature of you
Your roots grow deep
They saw once only your fruit
They see now nothing
Return and begin again

this poem is hot, telling them all
to go back and become pure again
