Ezekiel Olayemi

Memory Is a Weapon

Memory is a weapon 

too precious to sell,

a currency of the soul

cry, joy, blood, belief.

 

Ancestral,

it carries our histories,

the reason we breathe,

and proof we belong.

 

Some lie buried in dust,

waiting for the rightful hand

to lift them from the shadows

and wield them

for the truth.
