Bloodline

Bloodline

A Poem by Jerisson
"

Never dedicated to my ethnicity, and so here it is.

"
My blood is Dominican 
as in Domination, 
for we brought up our own emancipation 
against the Spanish

Now I am famished 
for a revolution,
in which the evolution of thought
is brought,

Where the minds of youth 
go outside the box,
to unlock the gifts they've been 
given to wield 
since birth 
on Earth. 

And for what it's worth,
I'm a man of my word.

If i say I will see you 
after I'm reincarnated as a bird, 
you will see a brown-eyed bird
land one day on your chair.

But there's no need to fear.
I'm not here to bring disorder,
but to bring a new form of order
in which there is peace,
and the violence will cease...
