Someone had to write it down...

Speaking
Speaking through the Ages
Down
Down
Down
Chiseled Stone from Sages
Symbols of Intelligence
Uncovered
Recovered
A species – evolves!

Buried
Literary dogs lay Sleeping
Lie
Lie
Lying Bones
In keeping
Something that was
Hidden
Forbidden
Forgotten
Beliefs concealed in catacombs!

Charcoal
To fine lines on Parchment
Ink
Linking
Calligraphy and Newsprint
Circulated or Censured,
Inviting
Inciting
Heir Gutenberg knows!

Science
Religion
Hear or Read It
Lamp lit in Darkness
Bringing forth Reason
This reason
Our reason
Enlightenment
Enlightenment for all!

Footnotes
History Makers
Reconnoitering War and Disaster
Propagandists
Stirring
Mixing the Mixture
The mind shapes the Model
The model
The hero
The hero
The master!

Thinking
I’m Thinking this World out Loud
Mind the many
I’s
Extracting Exacting Perspectives
Op Eds
Carefully Cut Out and Pasted
Posting Angst and Attitudes
Pressing
Apathy into our Foreheads!

Re-
Re-enter the Writer
Life
Lived
The Lover the Fighter
The Body seeks its
Continued Existence
Detailed
Defined
The Mind seeks its
Continued Existence
Examined
Explained
The Heart seeks its
Continued Existence
Mirrored
Made plain


And Every Word
Must be
Written
Down
Down
Down

If ever
To be Read again!

The traverse of this work spans mountain sides, scree laden dangers, and finally into the valley where all sorts await: the spectators, the fellow climbers, the thinkers analyzing the journey into that which might reach the masses. Yes...write it down down down.

With e-mail, Facebook, blogs, and Twitter proliferating exponentially more words are being recorded than ever before. Let us hope that some Google-like device will come along to help us sort through all the rough to find the diamonds.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
