__The disaster between us  

Increasingly I have been able to find words
For the disaster between us

I have found ways

Of describing

What might have happened to us

And our minds and our souls

As they are conditioned

By the disaster

This grand and ugly disaster between us  
With this enquiry

I have found others, many others
Who have previously given descriptions
And explanations
And complaints
About what precisely happened
And how and why whatever happened, happened
Between us
Whatever it was that led
To the disaster
And the division between us
Who and how many of us
May be to blame
For having done something
Disastrously wrong
Incomprehensibly wrong  
The disaster
The slave trade
That’s what I mean
The transatlantic slave trade
Between us
Which divides us
And rules us  
But if you enquire why
The rule of this law
Will fade away
To some extent
And whatever does not
Fade away Represents the work
That needs to be done.

Peace and Love  

Constant conversation
Continuing communication
On-going dialogue
The cadences of communion
For our unity, our union, our
State of desired harmony  
State of desire:
Our desire is to aspire
To deep liberation
Cadence of consciousness
Deepest liberation  
As deep as possible
As complete as possible
Completely Free and connected
To each of us
To the spirit of peace
And love
Peace
And love forever.
