Walk with me to the Bantaba
with the canopy from the rising sun
we will sit
under the shade of the baobab tree
the tree of life
the tree of sustenance
and we will think
of all the things past and present
of all the things that are born and die.

We will look deep inside ourselves
we will look around and between ourselves
and feel the moment
and feel the awe
of what is and what could have been
the inter space between now and death.

To you with the mighty army
thousands of people under your command
your tentacles of terror spread
and fear grips the heart
send chills down the spine
your master trembles at your feet
at the mercy of your wicked machinations.

You hold their whimpering voices hostage
prisoners of conscience
harbingers of the season of atonement
as a cherubim with the wings of peace
but you have them mercilessly slaughtered
at the altar of your might and arrogance.

But tomorrow comes
she walks slowly in her stride
she carries in her womb
the seeds of discontent
the agony and cries
of helplessness today.

She makes a push
an involuntary spasm
like an innocent child that is born
she renders her judgment to the world.
