A Time Freeze Reflection

by QC Poet

A Moral revelation came to me while we were frozen in a Minute of Time!
I revisited our Past to see if it could Reveal a way to a better Future,
I found that Civilization's back to the Naabeehó were related to mine,
Developing and changing until they were fully Mature.

It happened as I tiredly lounged and into a dream I dropped.
Transending to a different Time Zone then suddenly awake I plopped!
Though knowing I was there I did not realize if Time had ever stopped,
A bazaar trip into an earlier history is where I suddenly popped!

The Social Injustices encountered today were prevalent there,
Visible Looting of Lands, Dignity, and Killing of Native Americans were harder to bare!
"Black Gold" is but One of Earth's newer commodities the Greedy won't share,
New generation's of "Soldiers" are still sent for its protection it doesn't matter where!

Does our Mortality Clock tick quietly or does it ring as a loud chime?
Time's hands of Justice don't seem to move any faster than the slowest mime!
When a less than lethal force does not yet seem worth my thin dime?
Death's hands remain unjustly free and claiming many Lives as the years climb!

I now realize why my ancestors once said "To live is to Sleep and to Die is to Awake".
For Man's chasing after newer false "Gold" is a very hard habit to break!
Hoarding of "materials" of this World while our Spirit's Time we Forsake!
Man's real Treasure is what we do here on Earth not those things after death we can't take.
