The Shadow Dwellers
Emerging from my teens
I had a head full
of ghosts to escape from -
inhabitants of an inner world
I kept to myself. Future life
was over there,
at the end of a train line,
a long road, the last port
of call on a ship's long voyage.
I could...

Slum DwellersRapid urbanisation of the last century
causes more slums to mushroom
in the major cities of the world
particularly in developing countries.
Unplanned townships make it difficult
for government to plan for better
service delivery such as roads,
electricity,health,water and sanitation.
Local planning authorities should halt
illeagal allocation of land which leads...

Dwellers and Grazing LandThe Earth is groveled by her own soul.
With her skull welting on the sky, as all.
Affixes the omissions in her memory.
Together with people and greenery.
The grass lies behind shuck's pole.
In a casket placed of ivory, there is a soul.
Below the moon, earn merely terms of...

Illness
To be sadly homeless, helpless, dwelt,
No care before soulless, illness felt.

We Slum DwellersWe slum dwellers strive through arduous thistles of hardship
We tough it out through the mere adroitness of apprenticeship
We writhe morosely, carrying the world over our shoulders
But we tussle toughly the travails like soldiers
We're the slaves that bolster the aplomb of the upper crust
The hapless mendicants...

The Gentle DwellersIn my area there’re no children with diapers
No young people in their formative years.
People call it “a place of aged couples “
There are no young people married or singles,
No grown-ups with their hope and dreams
In my area there’re no children with diapers
There are only aging...

The Jupiter DwellersBy GILBERT MAPENGO MWANGUKU
Rotten and forgotten
Mealing once a day
As if they are on a fasting session
Jam-packed as they sleep
Like maggots in a filled latrine
Stinky is their world
Can’t even remember their toilet pose
As the bucket on the corner waits
Ticks host a party on them
No where...

City DwellersTowering concrete monoliths
Loom above seemingly mindless
Lemmings rushing, bumping, pushing
Their way in endless, moving lines
Of backward and forward motion;
Each with programmed destinations
Instilled by subtle brainwashing
By the few who reside above
In luxurious penthouse suites.
Below one of the unthinking
Queue falls dead on the cold pavement
Only to be trampled...

Fantasy - Cliff DwellersCredit Pinterest For Image
Lovers we attempt to be
Straining from within the tree
The fibres try to hold us back
We need a lumber man to hack
To break the hold and let us free
So one from two at last we'll be
Lie together on this rocky crag
Till you are...

Cellar DwellersSilencing the voices of discontent
You're fired message sent
Yates was the first to go
Evidence of Collusion she did show
The great investigation of collusion
Now they beg for its conclusion
The leader Comey of the FBI
Damaging statements Russia did spy
Special agent McCabe of the FBI
Fired because he may have...

CITY DWELLERSThere ae rats in the alley
Coyotes in the park
And in the city
Even they
Won’t come out
After dark.
