Unvarnished Liberty
Bok av Aiye-Ko Ooto
Unvarnished liberty morphs into a soliloquy quickly as you digest its guts. For we can only hope to recrudesce human liberty after this lull. There has been a prolonged unprofitable quiescence or failure to act on promises of liberty. Aiyeko ooto, in anthology (50 poems) is in the trenches. He dug into archives to understand why we forgot to varnish liberty we sort so hard to find. In 5 movements Aiyeko-ooto explores in Pots call Kettle black, Be Still till it sinks in, Squabbles over what remains, Devil and Minions and Thorn of inhumanity. In many ways the liberties of man and his ancestors have been robbed by a few who believe it is in their interest to keep us segregated and separated. Borders are erected, dams built, races profiled, and men enslaved. All to prove their point of supremacy which never has been true. In these poems there is an awakening of the soul, to fight back to reclaim love, lost parents, separated children, divorced hearts, racial equality and love which binds us all together
