i can never be
autochthonous1
original indigenous
i can only be
a colonist
a migrant or an immigrant
in Scotland
i was a foreigner
even perhaps a colonist
in England
never native
though maybe allochthonous2
in Canada
i am an immigrant
or maybe i’m a colonist
it’s not clear
the type of box i’m in,
the label i should wear
but there are people here
who really are indigenous
original autochthonous
and i long for that day
when The Gavel comes down
when The Creator God speaks
when His Spirit rules
and His Justice meted out
honouring autochthonous.
The difference between autochthonous and allochthonous:
Autochthonous – native to the place where found; indigenous.
Allochthonous – originating in a place other than where it is found.

ALLOCHTHONOUS
July 17, 2020
maybe i can
take a liberty
and redefine a mystery
and liberty
it’s all about
and you will see the roundabout
how peoples
from all Africa
were sold into another life
and that it’s
so atrocious
so i’ll honour them as allochthonous
i wrote about
indigenous
tho i prefer autochthonous
and how
in the past so long ago
when small i considered myself allochthonous
the reason
that i make this claim
is sturdy not superfluous
since peter
is my given name
and that’s a rock that has some fame
so i’am inclined
to make a claim
and relook at that word again
allochthonous
turns out to be
when defined in the geology
‘a rock
originated (transition?)
at a distance from it’s present position’
every African
that i have known
has such a rock inside that’s shown
they’re made
of special something
and by that I mean there’s no dumb thing
I note that
rocks and Cornerstones
have such exciting overtones
and like a bride
we’re being groomed
just for The Groom and being bloomed
and so
as with this instance
that we’ve come such a long distance
like the
rocks hauled to Stonehenge
who’ve stood so strong, without revenge
though
we’re looking
for a freedom and for earth becoming eden
and God’s
Certificate of Freedom
that is NOTHING like this earthly fiefdom
so let’s
all band together
and let’s call ourselves allochthonous
and as we
narrow down the distance
‘tween ourselves and New Existence
as we
worship dance and sing
and pay homage to Our King
as rocks
the living stones that He doth own
we together move towards The Cornerstone
