Can I Get a Witness?
beat it like a cockroach on a bathroom wall
slide like ice is under your feet
strike with the accuracy of a bald eagle
and the ferocity of a lioness in heat
be like hyenas cunning and lethal
stalking your territory for a way to feed your people
be fearless like an enlarged heart
pounding in a lover’s chest
breath in Muhammad Ali’s fire
and excel to be acknowledged as the best
be wise to the world of tactless men
process and utilize knowledge like King Solomon
then go past the threshold
that latches aging souls to old debris
with the intention of going ocean deep
push it to the limit and break free!
freak out like a spider
is crawling in your hair
sing and dance in the shower
as through nobody’s there
punch holes into naysayers lies like Swiss cheese
synchronize with fading droplets of hope
hidden in the dark repugnant mist
live your life and bare freedom as a witness
Thank you for reading!
Love, Esha ❤
