Poem from Kahlil Crawford

KASTHURI

Spawned from civil war;

cocoa skin, purple crown
and golden jewels emit
tales of persecution,
rebellion, perseverance
and survival.

The classroom is her laboratory – 

emancipating minds from
colonial constructions of
misinformation.

She’s a capitalist…
in the truest sense
of the term –
deflecting greed back
to the hellish pit from
whence it came.

She knows peace…
thru fellowship & service,
a drop in the existential
ocean, moving
magnificent
mountains.
