MouthlessI have seen a lot in this life,
The only thing I haven't seen is that which doesn't exist,
I have seen a lot in this life,
That which my mouth cannot explain.
Tell us what you saw Mr. Stephen,
What is it you saw that Troubles you,
Did you see the rainbow or seven colours of madness,
Tell us Mr. Ekemezie...

ADAM LEGACY 4ADAM LEGACY 4
A planet that was full of bountiful resources
Destroyed by the ones chosen to care for it
A darkness decended upon it named greed
Man didn't realise that he hunger for poison
Layer by layer, he scraped by what was healthy
Even the food that was found very unhealthy
Gold and all kinds of precious weren't edible
After...

What the Sun SeesAs I rise,
The moon falls
The wind settles
The lake follows
The sand shimmers
The earth softens
The stars dampen and
The buildings brighten,
A tree houses
A bird swooshes
A flower opens
A fish swims
A weed dances
A squirrel eats and
A duck dips,
A man hurries to work
A woman runs on the boardwalk
A grandfather grabs the paper
A boy hides from me
A girl giggles on the...

Kaleidoscopic Night
Wild streams of rushing hues
daub black ink smudge skies
fireballing ambience
stuns night peepers dazed eyes
blazing forest scorched shades
mute charcoal moon’s deep cries...

Kaleidoscopic ChildLet a child’s gleaming face
be that kaleidoscope,
of blue sea pearl ripples,
spreading green tides of hope,
to dry land hearts in drought
needing tot’s tears to cope...

Nuclear WarThe alpha males
stand at the precipice of power
each attempting to prove
They are the greatest
Resting on the backs of stupidity
a nuclear war
one percent chance
of total annihilation
of life on the planet
As we destroy
our ecological systems
ninety-nine percent
of the world dying
from nuclear radiation
and the direct...

The Beauty is a Desertthe desert is mystically alluring at sunset, looking docile and safe
few sights are as gorgeous as her evening skies of oranges and pinks
those who know, do not venture out after dark
for the desert is like a dangerous woman who looks unassuming
but is anything but
in the crooks and crevices of sand dunes and cacti there are...

l'appel du videA void within me calls
wanting only what I've never had,
but I've always seen.
The taste of a possession so illegal,
It's to die for.
as literal and figurative
as the jaws of the idea itself
surrounding and consuming me.
Oh, I've seen it.
The ecstasy of true bliss
multiplied only their best moments.
The promise of nostalgia
and a feeling of home.
An easiness...

Secondhand SmokeSwirling smoke and tobacco cheeks;
leave no glass on the patio. Plastic
water bottle filled to the gills with butts.
children don’t care -
off
in their own world. generation gap
is apparent as one grows
old. Young
will carry on. What will the world
be?
I breathe, I sigh, I hold my breath;
eventually,
I inhale secondhand smoke, and try
to reach, teach, inspire
these kids, but I...

SentienceWhat if our planet is sentient
In ways we don’t understand
And we by out actions have
Upset events it had planned,
Brought forward change
By hacking down the trees,
And Interfering in many ways
That just didn't please.
On a body the size of a planet
We are just like irritant fleas,
Or maybe to be considered
As an invasive skin disease.
Perhaps a period...

One Misty RecallI gaze at sun drenched mists
deliriously stunned
by rippling echos of
wistful sand dune swirl grains
where spring flames shed twilight
on love’s quaint misty shore...

My Honour, So I ObjectToday I have no counsel.
No mouthpiece carved from conscience,
no briefcase of softened truths,
no evidence to prove innocence.
Just me— the accused,
standing in the ribcage of a collapsing courtroom,
where the gavel echoes like a gunshot in a cathedral.
But I will speak in a voice stitched from landfill smoke
and the static of forgotten warnings.
Because this is about honour....
