The Past Poem by Akwasi Aidoo

The Past

Rating: 4.3


Still
the past sits
by our pains-plate
like a crow waiting to
eat the carcass of our dreams.

And tear-streams of gathered debris dirge

our freedom songs and rival a river
flow of reborn vision aiming for
the mountaintop against the
fury of status quo
Stillers
