“Afternoon Awakening” by Cheysen Cabuyadao-Sipe

“Afternoon Awakening” by Cheysen Cabuyadao-Sipe
April 1, 2019 Nā Leo Literary Review

Oh, dear children, finish your ignorance,

how it disgusts me that you’re the future.

The truth, you’re no longer of innocence,

but accomplices of the Dusk’s stupor.

Law, Bank, Time, Change, and Dawn have come for us

all, come to dismantle our moments of

cherish and turn jewels of Safety to dust.

Now, awaken and learn the doctrines of

your family, your friends, and yourself, which

should include culture, tradition, and vast

belief, faith, hope, positivity. Itch

for the opportunity to prove last

place belongs to the Dawn. Create a path

in which the Dusk grows its own Grapes of Wrath.
