Best Cheapened Poems

your love was pure
pure like fire
ephemeral and fleeting
and bore a desire

now lost and broken
contemptuous of what's cheapened
I dream of illusions
though I am not sleeping

your love was ephemeral
illusive or illusionary 
like daydreams 

my love was craven
unsure imasculine
or maybe just craving

now lost and contemptuous
of being cheated
by promises...

freedom day 
(april the 27th 1994)


far too many brave compatriots died

and

flooding rivers of tears were cried

far too many families ripped apart

with

daggers cutting into their heart

the pain is felt still deep today
on this glorious sun-splashed South African Freedom Day

as we pause and remember those who do...

Teeth clutched in furious fists,
Miles high above the mists,
Eyes thrust on identity’s this,
A smile wandering far amiss.

So this is the face of a simile,
Resting peacefully in eternity,
Here’s a figure of stoic rectitude,
Reflecting over mass ineptitude.

Of time I once knew,
When my lady a sword withdrew,
A flirt...

There was a giant sale last Saturday.
An unbelievable one!
Such  civilization: how far we’ve come,
Many came to partake from all walks of life.

What a deal; what a steal.
That store it seems, in real estate, is up for sale,
so to keep it’s customers satisfied,
they cheapened their...

I am a real Muslim woman 
The one that obey the rules of my unseen God 
And give total submission to the prophet teaching 
To wear hijab and be free from all conundrum of life 

I am a real Muslim woman 
My Hijab is my...

My birthright are the emerald islands in the sparkling
Waters of the Pacific Ocean,
With the beckoning sun, the cresting waves, and the jeweled sands,
A paradise in the lore of sailors far and wide,
A land of aloha and a land of mystery,
I am of mixed ancestry from...

Lady's I ask permission can I speak of my troubles
Men I can not help you cause all you do is betray me
But Lady's I can relate too
Because I can feel their heartbreaks
They are the best thing that ever happened
And most men take their presence here...

I have a friend with no bound’ries, no corners,
Preferring to just sleep around,
If he should vanish, I know where I’ll find him,
For sure, a new girlfiend he’s found.

As a lover, I know, he is quite ardent,
The passion he shows you seems real,
But then there’s a...

 What colour, does one think a soul,
 its fire our lives do need;
 purpose of it questionable,
 perhaps flesh, is shell for it's seed;
 determines in scope our natures',
 upon it human bodies feed;
 wisdom, bleeds to each through it;
 for most, its...

I've had enough of the usless drivel, hypersenitivity and endless snivels
We're more fulfilled I hear so often, yet the fruit on show to me seems rotten!
A girl of 9 cut down by a gun, floods of drugs; engineered and spun..'
Borderless war, we're doing well.' No...

I believe there are still honest politicians
Who try to do their best for our country,
While others, out of grandiose ambitions
Couldn’t give a fig, to put it rather bluntly.
Some fashion laws to benefit constituents,
Others pad their pockets, many illegally,
And use their public voices to influence
Our unlearned,...

God designed marriage as the real thing!
Anything less, is what a counterfeit brings!

His concept of one man and woman is very real.
He’s not interested in bowing to “man’s appeal.”

His court of justice rings very loud and clear!
The truth of his word shall NEVER disappear!

You can...

Lasting peace since time began, was never won nor made by man.
Treaties are made, then hastily broken, like cheapened, tin cans.

Israel was just offered to capitulate to all inhumane, demands of Hamas?
Those antedeluvian, October genocidists~are our leaders in DC smoking 
fetid grass?

Our own USA, is...

In a world of confusion 
Sitting here musing
Advanced as we are 
Have we gone to far
What ever you need to know 
Your knowledge you wish to grow
Look at your phone it will show
The time of technology is here and now
Don't know, the phone will show...
