Best Equalize Poems


Madam Grace

Madam Grace was my music teacher her name was music to my ears because when she passed everybody chanted her name.
Her skin tone was vibrant and her ringtone was my favorite song,i guess we had something in common;good choice of music
Nonetheless ,her skills were prowess for she taught us how to equalize the pitch
of our voice at various verses.I still miss and cherish the moments during our practice sessions.
Even though she wasn't a rapper,she would always wrap her meetings with
a word of prayer that is the 'Grace' so as to have our Grace for a long time.

                                                     filled with sadness
                                               sometimes filled with joy
                                             virtually impossible to hold
                                           because we overfill your soul
                                           until you just have to let us go
                                               to equalize and stabilize
                                                    yourself once more

All About 'You'

what you give- 
you receive

what you sense- 
you believe

what you take-
you plagiarize

what you correct-
you equalize

what you speak-
you express

what you touch, 
you bless

what you barter- 
you exchange

what you dislike-
you change

there are many things
in life that balance each other out

may you find the stability peace inspires

Premium Member Luneta

On this landmark an image stands...
  statue of a man.
Man of honor and talent,
  admiration of any man.
Born with great love for country
Died with one heart of chivalry.

Studied in different schools,
  aced all subjects in drools.
A man gifted with excellence.
Shared great works in pickets,
Cured many patients without wickets.

A man of great stature,
No man may be able to equalize.
A man of great sorrow,
Sacrificed himself for tomorrow.
Fellowmen freed to visualize.

So much more can be said
About a man of enviable skills
Young and old have all laid
Heroism of a small man...
Bigger, higher than hills.

Premium Member Robin Hood

Robin Hood

It was in the time of John
In the days that have long gone
When the plight of right and wrong
A test was set

It took a man of iron will
To battle on until
A nation he would thrill
They’d ne’er forget

For John was all consumed by greed
He over taxed those most in need
Pleas of the peasants wouldn’t heed
How they’d shout

Though against his deep belief
Robin became a famous thief
To muster hope and some relief
For those without

Stepped forward Robin Hood 
With his motives understood
He set out to do some good
For the poor

To his side a band of men
Some of sword and some of pen
Gathered round him, planned and then
Evened the score

High adventures, escapades
Among the woods and leafy glades
As Robin led his daring raids
He did surprise

Pouncing on the shallow rich
From every tree and bush and ditch
Relieving them of every stitch
To equalize

When the news to John was brought
He ordered Robin must be caught
Example to the people taught
To keep them bound

Soldiers he sent out in the wood
Blundered about, it was no good
No sight or sound of Robin hood
Was to be found

With a price upon his head
Wanted both alive or dead
Not a clue did one man shed
As to his lair

For all good men could plainly see
Through his selective robbery
It was the way it had to be
To make life fair

For their king old England yearned
And when at last Richard returned
He found a lesson had been learned
Of how to rule

Of your people earn their trust
Let your reign be fair and just
And remember that you must
Ne’er be cruel

Though a saint he’d never be
For he’d robbed to set men free
From the awful tyranny 
Of evil John

Still he’s hard not to admire
Whether surf or land-borne squire
To his height try to aspire
Everyone

When he knew that he would die
He shot an arrow through the sky
Where it stuck he wished to lie
Next Sherwood oak

Though the truth may now be faint
And the story old and quaint
He remains a noble saint 
To all good folk.

The White Tiger

A pure-hearted soul, a floating shining spirit,

The honest power to make someone clearest,

A natured life, where all suffer and feel,

But yet, the strongest must have no fear,

The passion the connects us all might disappear,

But only the trust would last longer to bear,

Criticize, criticize, without any shame,

It's you that one who'd take the blame,

Upon the fallen angels of devotion,

Go and regain yourself some emotion,

A human whose manners are misunderstood,

What we do is what shall we could,

The looks where we misjudge the closest,

No matter how far, no matter near,

This is unfairly the pain we bear,

The heart of the faith and hope will reveal,

Upon the disheartened ones should never be mere,

Inner beauty can't be seen,

But the glowing of a fair hero shall be clear,

Clear and pure enough to thee,

To shut the misbehave to ease,

The better person shall upheave,

Is the one who suffered all the calamity,

Regret of the mistreat will be seen,

For the future's sake, all peace, just wait,

Loyalty to love is so tender,

Which tender is so keen,

But can be broke, betrayal is the thief,

But only the traitor will culminate,

His dark deeds would engulf him,

That's the punish, ending covers,

All those people shall be diminished,

Just see and wait, and bear the thee,

Sibyl will come to bless all the hurt ones,

The pure ones who have sharp patience,

As sharp as a knife, that is the thrive,

You can have it, it's what you contain,

A piercing tiger heart is what you sustain,

Go equalize and dilate, 

Go and run toward the gate,

The gate of dreams, achieve the hope,

Go floating like a tiger without a rope,

Just high-five the sky,

Come on and give it a smile,

From your pure heart that should be,

Pure, pure as a white blaze,

Awaiting the awakening of the wind,

So just be it, a white blaze,

With a pure heart, no need to rephrase,

Also keep on dreaming, and be sharp,

Like a tiger how you should be,

That a human, like how you are,

A white tiger is what you are.

Like a tree in spring
                                                         we start out as buds 
                                                         yearning to become leaves.

                                                         In summer we flourish
                                                         soaking up the sunlight
                                                         with absorbing passion.
.
                                                         In fall we transform 
                                                         alienating our brothers
                                                         by position, and color.

                                                         In winter we equalize
                                                         mounds withered, and brown
                                                         at the mercy of the wind.

The Old Homeplace

It’s now just an old run down structure 
With broken window panes and all 
With hinges rusting away with time 
And cold air rushing down the hall 
But once it housed our family 
And kept us together back then 
With the fireplace blazing with all its might 
To equalize that howling wind 
And there was mama in the kitchen 
And the aroma still lingers on 
Of bread and rice and sugar syrup 
That was blessed in our home 
And to that old wood cooking stove 
A salute for those loving times 
With all us gathered round for warmth 
With meal prayers that were so sublime 
Yep, that was way back yonder 
But you know I still visit it some days 
Inside my head and smile a lot 
With us children hard at play 
You know to us money was nothing 
We grew what we ate back then 
And hand me down clothes with patches 
We could of been old Huck Finn 
I still remember and chuckle some days 
When an old wooden structure I see 
Cause once or twice or maybe more 
Inside there is where we would be  
It’s now just an old run down structure 
With broken window panes and all 
With hinges rusting away with time 
And cold air rushing down the hall

Things I Don'T Understand

THINGS  I  DON’T   UNDERSTAND *  


First the facetious stuff then the seriously bad * 
Moralizing  punch  line which I usually do add.
Don’t understand  difference between horse and pony.
Don’t understand languages like Gaelic or Shoshone,  
All sound and look pretty much the  same. 
Why do some folks get excited about football game
And other folks get wild about fashion clothing
While I regard both with loathing?
Don’t get it when a rich guy walks past  a poor
And doesn’t  even notice him standing in the door.
Or when evening  news shows unwanted puppy rescued
While millions are lonely, homeless, dole-queued.
Must be my lack of proper education and sensibilities
But when I meet  old ladies living under shopping trolleys 
My instinct is to equalize the difference ‘tween us
Sell my limousine and chauffeur  and take a bus.
I reckon  that  my  ignorance and ill-education’s
Why I never learned to  behave properly in such situations.

*  Title was given to me by Nancy Jones ( Nancy with the laughing eyes)

*  “Bad” means “good”   in Mohammed Ali’s  vocab,   so that’s good enough for me.

No Sheep Ever Strays

?No Sheep Ever Strays

She wanted to be
Hallowed part of history
Fight for you and me.

Land where all agree
God made her so we can see
To success is key.

Pray down on our knees
Equalize societies
And God always please.

From life remove fees
Have warm breeze blow through the trees
That removes the freeze.

We are sheep that graze 
And when God we always praise
No sheep ever strays.

Football Commentary

I write in remembrance of the late Dennis Liwewe (Zambia's No.1 and Celebrated Football Commentator). Here is a short football commentary:
"Ah, this is Dennis Liwewe. We are here in Mauritius, where the two sides, Zambia National Team and Mauritius National Team will battle it out this afternoon. Capacity crowd 40,000.
The referee is from Kenya and match commissioners from Nigeria and Senegal respectively. 
At this point in time, the referee blows play on , and  Mauritius team take the ball back to their goal keeper. A loose ball pass the centre circle, a bad pass by Zambia we are in deep trouble, Only to be saved by the Goal keeper Efford Chabala. This is no other than Kapambwe Mulenga, defending very well. Ball zooms out for the throw in. We are beaten in the air, Ashios Melu picks up loose ball, he beats a man in a double one two situation, he kicks a tumble, which is well chested by Kalusha Bwalya ( popularly known as Great Kalu). Great Kalu beats two, three Mauritius defenders. Great Kalu within a firing range, hammer. It's a gooooooal 1-0 to Zambia. Back to the studio for our sponsors. Mauritius are coming in a counter attack situation, their dangerous striker is breaking even, Bomber. It goes away. Again and again, Zambia takes control of the situation here, Efford Chabala pumps a long ball passes the centre circle, we are good in the air. Kelvin Mutale dribbles two Mauritius defenders, hammer. It's a goooooal Zambia leading by 2-0 . Second half , Mauritius are very aggressive at the goal, they want to equalize. We are in deep trouble again here, sliding tackle by Kapambwe Mulenga, and the ball zooms for a corner kick for Mauritius. Headed away by Ashios Melu, a little pass to Charles Musonda, passes the centre circle, he turns 360 degrees. He passes the the ball to Kelvin Mutale ( the master dribbler), it's a gooooooal, 3-0 to Zambia. We are in the dying minutes here,
And the referee blows the final whistle. This is Dennis Liwewe signing off. Pick it up ZNBC studios in Lusaka, Zambia.

May his soul rest in eternal peace

Concept by Zambian Sports Lovers
Poetry Chipepo Lwele


Note: Dennis Liwewe made Zambians to love football in the 70's, 80's and 90's when we had 2 band radios and few television sets, we were glued to the radios young and old, less educated and highly learned. He made sure that the message is loud and clear.

Each Day's Step

Each day’s steps

Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks
Taken to the success
Horrible pucks
Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks

Tomorrow’s steps swallowed
Determining the determination by the demotion
Steps taken today, awaken the abandoned in pain of rain
Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks

The drizzle idle of ideal
Compare lengths of their steps
Depending tallness to reach the upends
Human lengths, weights and heights
The drizzle idle of ideal is running without under your own steam

Trepidation using owns-
Steps irregular considering
Heights, weights, and lengths in grottos

Equalize steps
While achieving success

Premium Member My Friend This Is the End

Many intimates might collapse, we realize,
And direct us to strive solely in this place,
There's nearly a ray of hope in the eagle's eyes,
To shed the ode's tear without further grace.

We say he imparted when we survey his space,
Some are eager, friends return as we eulogize,
Angels beset him and herald his embrace,
Many intimates might collapse, we realize.

Adversity is forlorn, no matter how time flies,
A gone friend feels like a limb misplace,
Assigning a friend's loss bond ethical mates,
And direct us to strive solely in this place.

Our chums are silent, yet they've left men race,
They went one step down a path we will equalize,
Enjoying a friend may no more provide solace,
There's nearly a ray of hope in the eagle's eyes.

Sadness confines us with infinity-long ties,
Some folk enters our life forbear a long trace,
Of our feelings, causing irreversibly applies,
To shed the ode's tear without further grace. 

We can't stop preferring a friend since he dies,
Notably, if he's worthier than anyone, you notice,
Splitting from living pals, anguish amplifies,
When relished life fully and truly, fate may glance.

With Flowers In the Back of a Black Hearse

Long and tedious
Short and sweet
Medium and unfulfilled
It doesn’t see the substance in It
It calls whenever It pleases

Good or bad
Success or failure
Lonely or lovely
In Its eyes it’s all the same
It’s spoilt with choice

Rich or poor
Learned or illiterate
Struggling or enjoying
It isn’t significant to It
It has its mandate to equalize

All other factors withstanding
All efforts however rewarding
All hopes however high
To It we oblige to be ridden 
With flowers in the back of the black hearse

Makita Xxii: Cocaine Memories

Awaiting a light
To guide us down the path
that composed our eternity

For no woman I have swayed
In quite the fashion as I for you
For no woman could I have swooned
as I swiftly as I for you

and if ever there was a chance
to seize the pendulum
‘tis your constant amour
Then the risk would equalize
The value you illustrate
