For Ijahman Levi
Are we a warrior
Draws me closer
To God’s image
In the mirror
Are we a warrior?
Let not your arrow
You sang
from your bow
Do not let it go….
Are we a warrior?
When I was a child
I saw flashes of the soul’s utopia
You painted
Jahoveh like
On a confused spirit
Are we a warrior?
I had forgotten you
Ijahman
In the rush of girls, campuses,
marriage, birth, tears....
Then one day
A surly workman
Dropped a tape at lunchtime
And avoided my eye...
Are We a Warrior?
I am your warrior
Your blind-faith believer
So start another war
Dread Prophet
Gladly this soldier
Old now, feint now
Yet he presses onward still
Marking blood with every step
Fighting to reach that place
The quiet heart of this amusing turn
You sang so quietly about.
