Ujamaa Christian Poetry

Liberated


I know those of means
Miserably chained to themselves
Habitually seeking to trade all
For those single freeing seconds
Of breathless pleasure


I know others of no status
Bound to mirrors they despise
Desperate to panic
Being held under waters of scarcity
Until breath becomes all


I have discovered
Having imbibed of both wells,
The truly unfettered are those
Who dwell in the shadow of His presence
Between the exhale and the inhale
