Description:

October 16, 2020October 15, 2020 ~ jama ~ 26 Comments The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dreams never die. ~ Edward KennedyOF HISTORY AND HOPEby Miller WilliamsWe have memorized America,how it was born and who we have been and where.In ceremonies and silence we say the words,telling the stories, singing the old songs.We like the places they take us. Mostly we do.The great and all the anonymous dead are there.We know the sound of all the sounds we brought.The rich taste of it is on our tongues.But where are we going to be, and why, and who?The disenfranchised dead want to know.We mean to be the people we meant to be,to keep on going where we meant to go.But how do we fashion the future?

And brambles, that we can no longer allow.Who were many people coming togethercannot become one people falling apart.Who dreamed for every child an even chancecannot let luck alone turn doorknobs or not.Whose law was never so much of the hand as the headcannot let chaos make its way to the heart.Who have seen learning struggle from teacher to childcannot let ignorance spread itself like rot.We know what we have done and what we have said,and how we have grown, degree by slow degree,believing ourselves toward all we have tried to become just and compassionate, equal, able, and free.All this in the hands of children, eyes already seton a land we never can visit it isn t there yet but looking through their eyes, we can seewhat our long gift to them may come to be.If we can truly remember, they will not forget.~ from Some Jazz A While: Collected Poems (University of Illinois Press, 1999)* Continue reading Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)MoreClick to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...
