Marvin X poem for Hamza el Din - Ud

I have gone beyond memory
to walk home again
free of fear
in my village
there is no fear of lions here
only the village fire
the ritual dance into the early dawn
I whirl and whirl into my world
beyond all the years of history
I am in peace now
no fear of lions
in my children
they walk and talk with lions.
