Libation – a poem
For my elder student
28.06.2012
I remember the days
when you hold a jar of water
A metal gong
Then you shout that our ancestors must be called
they must be heard
You shout,
CALL THEM! CALL THEM!
Yes we call them
our ancestors
I guess they cheer
our ambition to reunite with them
these lines are a sign
that, like libation,
my soul is yearning
for liberation
unity of mankind
spirituality, may we free our minds
