I'm a day behind btw.
This is about the two lovers in 'Brooklyn Babylon'.
On the beach
Sara and Solomon
Sit on the sand
And wonder how
The sky and the sea
Are two different hues
But publicly make love
Each evening
One flirting with the hem of other's skirt
Leaving it's onlookers to smile
Stirring up no prejudice
Free from burden
Burden
Like the one she
Jewish daughter
Feels
When local Synagogue speak Hebrew knives
That lash at her Grandmother's deathbed
Everytime she weaves her fingers through his dreadlocks
Burden
Like the one he
Rastafari son
Feels
When he hears lions growl
Along the streets of his black urban Kingdom
As he lovingly
Plants his seed in her
For Zion
