A Message To My People Poem by Cassaries Johnson

A Message To My People



As I stand on the precipice of fate
and look to the horizon for a sign,
From things transpired to find new estate,
So that we may claim victory in time


The siren who enslaved my young brother
Prepares her army; mine 'twas formerly,
Who now are strengthened by wounds they suffer,
and stand by with unwav'ring loyalty

With magic eyes and magic mind I fear,
Like sailors at sight of a deathly whirl,
If I should die tomorrow, shed no tear,
To go with such a fight would show the world

I will give no power, no dominion,
I'll fight with honor 'til we're overrun!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Written on the same day as 'Tenuve un Sueno la Noche antes, ' this oem is a metaphor for what was happening in my mind. The one giving the speech is Leonus, the former king of the kingdom of my mind, and his brother is Casarito. I will post more poems about these two, but in summary, using Plato'ss idea of the soul, Leonus represents reason and Casarito represents appetite.
