Rich and beautiful images capitalizing off the emotional connection our soul makes with the village. Potent and impoverished Polite and punishing Our people pressing back and forward towards a purpose predestined before the seed was materialized that pushes the ghetto rose through the cracks in the concrete. Love can be seen in this picture of us. This is us who came to this new world in chains dreaming of home forced to make peace with pain. This is us playing hop scotch ,jumping rope, and shooting hoop’s. This you praying that hope doesn’t dissipate and your dreams don’t disappear to the disappointments of what life is like growing up on this block. This is you. The village – Eric Haylock

mercy tree [part 2]
mercy tree
poem
Eric Haylock
last apostle
…His diaphragm expands as far as the galaxies can extend
He exhales His spirit into
man – kind
I wonder if Adam was the kind of man
that would remind Him of His Son
He showed him HIS design
and told him it was his fate
to have dominance in the earth
the same way HE dominates the Divine
He showed him the garden
that was his to partake
except for the tree in the mist
HE said,” Adam that portion is mine…is that understood?”
“thats the tree of knowledge of good and evilĀ
the knowledge of evil will do man no good”
HE saw that he wasn’t pleased, because he was alone so HE pulled Eve from his bone
together their good deeds
were like seeds that would proceed into the tree of life
somehow the angel of light
deceived Eve, but Adam Eve did not deceive you
you knowingly strayed, disobeyed to gain knowledge of evil
therefore cursing all people Adam what have you done?
now for the first time since time begun
when I look at you I no longer see MY SON…
conclusion coming soon
