Sundown
After the rain, 
the Sun will rise again
we have been in darkness since they arrived
in their caravan of dreams with empty promises of change, 
and constructive untruths, with which they tricked us to abandon our familiar ways
to walk their paths of retrogressive progression; 
for which...

Americans, Algerians, Australian aborigines,
Corrupt leaders of the world involved in illegal activities.
Bloodthirsty bullies brazenly bombing bystanders,
Militaries full of corrupt army commanders.
Charities for children, carers in communities,
Third world countries deprived of equal opportunities.
Doctors, dentists, drugs, disability and depression,
An angry generation full of negative aggression.
Evil egotistic eejits...

Premium Member My Brother--Nelson Mandela, Umtata, South Africa--Tribute Poem
Nelson Mandela, crossed my spirited mind today, a visionary legend of peace, love, equality, and unity of all people.

As a prevailer of great affliction, he was like a Greek God fighting for the—"Common man!”

I had to sit and diligently read with excitement, how he unlocked...

I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream

I have a dream.
Let my kids not be victims of ignorance.
Because they are black, Cherokee Indian, Panamanian and Chinese.
Let them look in the mirror and see the beauty that they are queens.
Capable to have anything and everything.
That they are here but their...

Premium Member Husbands Are In Heaven Whose Wives Scold Not
So much emphasis is placed today on the role of the wife
She is to be pure, pristine, just, hardworking
She is to imbibe all who surround her with faith
She needs to be able to know everything without ever asking

She is to be the woman behind her...

If i allow a mother to steal food, in order to feed her babies. Does that make me 
an angel or criminal? How do we as people not take responsibilty to change our

For justice is the right of everyone!

I Can Breathe, If You Let Me
I Can Breathe … IF You Let Me!
Woefully, from the days of our patriarch Kunta Kinte, to this century;
They have tried to strip us of our name, our dignity and our ethnicity.
It’s people like us and the weight of an unjust system that’s the problem;
They...

When I Was Racist
When I was young
And felt a little glum
My Mum would cheer me
With a plum.

I began to eat them daily,
Demolishing entire punnets
With aplomb.

How I loved those big, fat,
Red-purple fruit bombs
Juicing between my lips,
Never failing to elicit
A contented ‘Yum!’

But one night after
Dinner my Mum
Offered me a yellow...

The Mask We All Wear
The existence and reality of who we truly are
The reflection we see everyday
The villain we choose to hide
The two sided coin we cannot ignore
The monster which continues to roar
Hatred we cannot hide nor ignore
For centuries hatred has been the key factor for war
Mankind is always...

The World Has Gone Rabid
Whatever happened to Jansports and Tevas 
-By the fire side and courage the cowardly dog 
The unending episodes of the famous five 
-And ice pellets we used to pick In the rains .

Whatever happened to good deeds,
and where did all the good people go ?
