#liberation poems on Hello Poetry

Emily Jones Apr 2015

Like water the ripple of your life has stilled
Where I become the untouched pool purified by the fluxing of my own intention
Warmed by the shifting spirits of ideals
Like great bodies within the deep the golden shimmer of epiphany engender deeper cultivation
Reflecting the world back out like a great mirror
Pushing away the digestion of filth from the center
That lack luster film of society dripping red from open hands
I expel the marginalized oppression
You tried to change me
Not aware I was doing so all along.

All Who Remain

Today three hundred gather recalling to the World its’ shame.
They’ve come once more to Auschwitz on a more comfortable train.
The youngest, in their Seventies, were children at the time,
when Russians overran the camp and exposed the Nazis’ crimes.
If you were gypsy Gay or Jew incarcerated there
They starved and worked you unto death-
Your grave was in the air.
The walks were paved with bits of bone from those who died before.
These lives and deaths were cataloged for the ***** Chancellor.
All who remain now gather for this last and final time,
to testify to their suffering and rebuke those who deny.

* * ** *

On this day in 1945 Russian troops liberated Auschwitz. This anniversary marks the final time that living survivors are expected to attend( the 70 year anniversary), In another ten years few if any could be expected to make the trip.

Respectable Outlaws

.

We won't be part of
your social pollution,
but will be part of
the solution.

                                        We are the confrontation
                                                                and the fight,
                                        the declaration
                                                         of human rights.

We won't appeal to
your expectation
or narrow our minds to
your "education".

                                         We are the rebellion,
                                                  your red flag of the news,
                                        though toleration
                                                   and a merging of views.

We will not weaken
under discrimination
or be products of
your degradation.

                                        *We are the revolution
                                                            and the sign,
                                          the liberation
                                                    to step out of line.

A few films of inspiration: 'Pump Up The Volume', 'Teenage'(a documentary), and 'Cloud Atlas'...(for Sonmi-451<3)

Does anyone else feel like saving the world and burning it all down at the same time? No, not really the latter...I've just been particularly angry with choices which people of high influence have been making. I know we can be so much better than this. I'm so ready for our generation to bring to life what we keep dreaming of... but I'm so tired of feeling helpless to the whims of this.

Lost

While trying to find my self,
I have lost my self,
In depths unreachable,
In darkness invisible.

Breaking the social constructs that I am built in,
A war cry echoed through time and space,
Infinite possibilities unfold in front of my destiny,
A destiny worth a thousand peoms.

Still searching,
Still seeking,
Still looking for that which is me,
A soul confined in a human shell.

Eager to see that which is not visible,
to feel that which is unspeakable,
A sudden awe surrounds my mortal form,
Liberation, freedom.

A unique feel of bliss,
the hand of god has reached for that which is within me,
Awakened I am to the purest form that I be.

Pain, guilt, sorrow and fear,
are vanquished in the blink of an eye,
The heavens await me, as I sail through the vast oceans of infinity.

In order for one self to truly find it self, one must first lose it self.

Grounded in Babylon

I shuffle on
In Babylon
My dreams are of
my home, Zion

I puff the ****
it won't be long
until I'm gone
from Babylon

With kush I fly
Through the smokey sky
On ****** wings
I wave goodbye

The weight is lifted
and so am I
I see you Zion!
My eyes, they cry.

A touching tale of my liberation from Babylon
(for 4-6 hours)

Liberation by Kush

The walking dead fill these streets
Hollow eyes and empty minds
Cluelessly they shamble on
Knowing nothing of *****

Herb is my liberator
I find freedom in the kush
One ****** puff sets me free
My chains are broken by ****

Babylon consumes our minds
Men walk like zombies entranced
If everyone had a spliff
All the world would be at peace

Spliffs bring freedom

Touch the Sky

Chains on my heart, squeezing
Chains on my legs, chaffing
Chains on my mind, breaking
Chains on my soul, crushing

Babylon is my prison
Shared with my reggae crew
The keepers all bald
My visitor: you

My poems bring freedom and fat reggae beats
A ***** island boy, I walk these streets
On my street, I see baldheads: curse those neats!
They can pay big rent, mines late 2 weeks

I get home and water my tall herb bush
Its heavenly branches provide me with kush
I pack up the bowl, sip smoke from the chalice
I feel close to JAH he erases my malice

My chains are broken, dust in the breeze
The only way to stay free, smoke more trees
My liberated spirit rises up as I cry
United with JAH we Touch the Sky

My spiritual journey.
Deepest and most humble gratitude to all my reggae writing friends.
They bring joy and light to my mind

Choosing Love

Love, you have liberated me
In every way.
Don't ask me to describe that dungeon,
For I no longer fester;
I am free.

Love, you have liberated me
In every way.
I don't just fly in my dreams,
I soar through my life
I am free.

Love, you have liberated me
In every way.
I am chained to you,
I choose to be,
I am free.
