Some changes are beyond frightening.


c.2003 M. Bennett Hooper



 


Hurry and sit down and listen to your heartbeat.
You can’t hear it if you are talking and that is
More than the palpitation of a two pound muscle.
What happens when prey becomes predators?Evolution is not always elevating.


Today’s abused and abandoned children become
Abusing and abandoning adults who break the ribs of Infants and shake them until brain damaged or Killed.
Evolution in the black community as the great great great grandchildren of slaves whose children were forcibly torn from the arms of crying mothers now kill each other
Because they were dissed and are too cowardly to Fight without guns during Juneteenth week in
Memphis, Tennessee.


Evolution as yesterday’s prey become predators and
Natural history teaches us that predators are the Next in line for extinction as the death dance continues.
Young Black men and women are the new dinosaurs who feast upon their own kind by killing off the weaker of the species.
What will be left when their food runs out.
Evolution.

Ah, Marion - "Juneteenth week in
Memphis, Tennessee" - I just told another friend not two days ago that I wish this were not fodder for poets, wish it does not exist, but wishes can't make it so...and so, we write.

"Young Black men and women are the new dinosaurs who feast upon their own kind by killing off the weaker of the species."

I pray your words are heard.

What is evolution, what is progress? I ask myself.

"Evolution" by Author
Master Poet Marion Hooper, is indeed a thought striker. This "Evolution" made me cry this evening, but it didn't make me sad. I was just taken for a while on trip through the - Abduction's history - returning safely.

Author Master Poet Marion Hooper, thank you for posting this "Evolution".
