WEP APRIL 2021 - FREEDOM MORNING

 

Freedom Morning is a watercolour by Claude Clark, the African American artist and art educator, painted in 1941.

FREEDOM

She shook her head in dismay

When would he take her seriously?

Dismissing her thoughts so airily

He might be the big shot at his office

But he didn’t have to be so callous.

His clothes were laundered and pressed

She massaged his shoulders when he was stressed

His dinner was always hot and nourishing

She’d spend all day tidying and cleaning

Now she wanted to go out to work

Starts work as a part-time clerk

She sees the kids off to school

Takes her turn at the car pool

Returns home by four

Quickly mops the floor

Does the laundry

Longing to be free

A few more years

Lots more secret tears

Babies grow into teenagers

They still need a chauffeur

Promoted at work

No longer just a clerk

In charge of a group of people

Her mind and brain more agile

 

It won’t take long

Before she is gone

The last laugh will be on her

As she walks out of the door.
