Message from the Mahdia Twenty

Aug 29, 2023 Letters

Dreams, big and bright, this land will see us shine

Like brilliant stars, when we realize

Our dreams, your hopes, as we blaze our paths

Through this scheme of things called destiny.

Dreams, great dreams, fated now only to live

In your aching, breaking hearts and painful

Memories, forever scarred by vicious

Tongues of angry flames that leaped and lashed

And licked into shape a scorching nightmare

That charred our dreams into nothingness,

Even as we hurled our tiny bodies

Against the red-hot iron grill you put

To protect us from the dangers without,

Yet imprisoned us with the subtle ones

Within; and you in anguish, cried, “Oh! Why?”

As your tears flowed like the Essequibo.

We, now with the Angels, fly so high

Yet, though for us your tears may never dry,

We implore of you from the heavens high,

Search inside your souls for grills and shackles

That may lie smouldering inside,

Permeating and entraping all

In an inevitable inferno,

Ticking, ticking, ticking, waiting only

To erupt, or be doused by your warm love!

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Alvin Smith.
