Open the Closet-Doors !A Poem by Easter3What happens behind closed Closet-Doors ? What happens ahead of opened Closet-Doors ?What happens if You Open that Closet-Door ?
Will the Boogie Man (or Woman) jump out of the Closet And knock you to the floor ? Will that Nice Man you work beside every day of the week Turn-of-the-handle, pop out of the Closet Oh my, my - Gay ? Will that Nice Lady you walk-talk and jog with every weekend Turn-of-the-handle, jump out of the Closet a run-away Oh my, my - Immigrant ? Closets, by Design, are Engineered Structures of Limited Space and Time,
Devoid of Light, and full of diminished and lost Opportunities Imagine the Fears and Desolation that Grow and Fester
In the Dark Isolation of Closets Imagine being full of Wonderful Ideas and Inspirations Which never See the Light of Day Because You must Be Quiet - Be Invisible - Never Shine too Brightly Or you risk Becoming a Target - UnFair Game for the more Predatory, Ignorantly Fear-based and Violently Destructive and InHumane Members Of Humanity, come what may What would happen if We Opened All of the Planetary Closet Doors ?
Yes, Open them ! Set All of the Fears, Prejudices and Bigotries aside Greet All Human Beings locked up - Chained up within the Closets’ suffocating and stymieing boundaries With Arms, Minds and Hearts Open wide ? Make Universal Love, Compassion and Tolerance
The Call Words and Action-packed Deeds of the Day Allowed EveryOne the Fullness of Who they Are And Who they Choose to Become ? Why limit the World to punitive and damning judgments
Which hold Others down While elevating Some ? Which Create Lifetime, taken for granted, Opportunities and
Freedoms
For Others But only Lifetime, bitterly dis-Illusioning Imprisonment and Loss For Some ? Communication, Compassionate Outreach, Understanding, Moderation,
Compromise and Sacrifice for Others
Lifts, Nourishes and Sustains All Individuals All Peoples All Nations To their Highest and Deepest Potentialities, Possibilities and Goals Yes, Open the Closet-Doors ! Let the Light DiStill, Purify, Magnify, Heal and Illuminate Our Individual and Collective Minds, Hearts and Souls Yes, Open the Closet-Doors ! Holding NoOne back - Moving EveryOne Forward Let’s Make OurSelves Universally Whole ! © 2012 Easter3 |
