Best Canaan Poems

Aah, Casarah; mine ears ache for thy counsel-
Scarce are the chances to reach near thine arena
The sea races near thy arches to crane its head
 to crash her waves and earn a share of thy full cache.

The majority of words herein use the letters contained...

Where is your Baal, land of Canaan?
Where are your people,
smart and courageous?
They discovered an alphabet.

Greeks took it 
and also the credit.
Where is your schism Constantinople?
Is it hidden under the minarets?

For Buddhists there is no God,
but we still have our Manitu.
Where is your land,
Indigenous people of...

Child of Ham, image of Christ, gospelled bands
Ancestor of Melchizedek order
***** oracle of prophet, priest, king
Anthem to you with drums and cymbal hands
Arising in the Horeb of your power
Nations steep in Afric's legacy sing

We’re leaving out today
from the land of the Pharaohs
We’re going to a place
that was promised to us long ago

We’re leaving,
leaving today
Going to the Promise land
We’re leaving,
we’re on our way
Headed for Canaan

We’re leaving behind
the hard bondage and chains
Four hundred years of tears,
slavery, oppression and pain

We’re leaving,
we’re...

Son of Canaan
I died for you too

Shattered dreams of New Canaan

no longer land of the free home of the brave,
original rightful occupants hoodwinked, petrified,
where diseases xeroxed
ambushed, crushed, extinguished,
squashed, trashed, wampashed,
the entire kit and kaboodle zapped
violent unwelcome intruders
celebrated acquisition or outright
annexation of lands
inhabited by indigenous peoples
showcasing courtesy outright theft
torturing, liquidating, flourishing braggadocio
nattering...

A unique form of hatred,
stereotypes and prejudice, 
they decipher realities.
Forgotten the same father, 
Ibrahim, Canaan families.

Who loving safe, warm, faith,
in the same lands.
Hagar,
Sarah.

Buzzing claims, 
devout homes and beliefs,
attempted annihilation,
superseded born, sibling rivalry.

Pardon, end.
End, end, endeavour destruction....

It's always at dawn
It's always in the shadows
That the criminals rob
The innocent as well as the guilty
It's deep in the dark night
That we forget on the table
The suppers of the werewolves in disguise
And the unarmed gendarmes
For the carnival, for the feast
When blood turns to wine
Where...
