Her Broken Eldorado

Weary Atlantic crashes against her shores of

oatmeal intensity, invades her prolific

womb carving mighty Kaieteur, who gallantly

shields primal beings of majestic Amazon Forest.

Oatmeal intensity, invades her prolific

precipice, mold heights of nature’s power,

shields primal beings of majestic Amazon Forest

and scattered bones of transported monarchs.

Precipice, mold heights of nature’s power,

Where six nations broke through colonial bondage

and scattered bones of transported monarchs,

whose sons and daughters now calm unease lineage.

Where six nations broke through colonial bondage,

her skeletal villages swell in hunger of vanishing souls

whose sons and daughters now calm unease lineage

ripped from life’s grasp and thrown to unmarked tombs.

Her skeletal villages swell in hunger of vanishing souls,

womb carving mighty Kaieteur, who gallantly

ripped from life’s grasp and thrown to unmarked tombs,

weary Atlantic crashes against her shores.
