Missing Home, then and now.
My ‘homeland’,How I long to love you, to embrace you,
The lush greenness of your vegetation.
The dirt village roads.
The rich hue of your ‘blue waters.’
I recall those lazy childhood days
Walking idly down the street,
Greeting each person by name.
Your warm Sunlight caressing my bare shoulders
The ‘pit- pat’ music of rain falling on galvanized roofs
Children playing in the street,
Talking,laughing, standing, hitting, running,
Saying goodbye in rhymes, that made no sense;
”larlick a poisin, jumbie arisin”,
Sitting on the porch, eating juicy mangoes
Mymother standing by the stove.
The smell of fried bakes and salt-fish…
Neighbors borrowing a bowl of sugar, or
Swapping breadfruits, yams and bananas.
My beautiful homeland, how I long to love and embrace you.
Now the village road, a place where people mourn, and run
and hide.
Where neighbors are silenced, while mothers, fathers,
brothers, sisters, and friends are murdered.
The murderers, translated into invisible ghosts, a
travesty of injustice!
Dear God, embrace my homeland, the villages, with your
healing light.
Dear God provoke the conscience of neighbors.
May the departed- sleep on.
May the living- act justly
My homeland how I long to embrace you.
