POETRY: 'A Signed Declaration' by Kabriel Moorehead

A Signed Declaration

By Kabriel Moorehead

Do I dare disturb the universe?

Remove the rustic shackles from my mind

And proceed to rise without a quiver in the face of my captor?

 Do I dare dream,

Of concrete fashioned into roses

That arose in spite of bitter luck

Do I dare speak?

For fear of repercussions has left many like me silent

As the world blinds us,

With images of cruelty interspersed with decadence;

Causing our minds to wander off to the same old tune

Of change with no action,

Love with no romance,

And feasts with no flavor.  

I dare to write,

To love,

To speak,

And to dream,

Boundlessly.

Because it’s the only way I know to truly be free
