Hopeless cries from faraway Africa are heard 
Searing sands of Ethiopia cry for sustainable water 
Children are dying, never having spoken a word. 

Desperate fathers guard the starving cattle herd 
As temperatures rise, getting hotter and hotter 
Hopeless cries from faraway Africa are heard. 

Mothers...

A seagull soars over the ocean with upward force and thrust    

Far away in the distance a whale swims away from a human spoon   
Another era of uncertainty, an empty shore,  a virus battle cry    
Resonating...

your foulmouthed shout

weaves angry waves

bashes my ear drums

pierced I wail in vain

as the echo gets closer

staccato crescendo

climax refrain


can’t shut you out

cannot withhold

silence won’t come

until the final note

that fails to abate


our melody out of tune

sweet memories wane

why so cruel I dare

to object and stall

in anxious mourning


beaten...

A far cry; ascent, unless we decry
Fearful desires that makes loving heart sigh
Know, oh hermit, we are our tormentor 
Both, the meek prisoner and fierce captor 
Deaf to voice of conscience, as love draws nigh

Free soaring spirit, reaches for the sky
Living life fully, before we...

Far Cry of the Ear
FAR CRY OF THE EAR

EAR:
I can't marry you as a husband
Because you have caused me so much pains,
You are also too thinny and noisy for my liking
But friendship can be better than marriage.

MOSQUITO:
No! You must marry me or I will
Keep singing to you the love...

A Far Cry From Nigeria
Help! 
Help!!
Help!!!
Save our souls!
We are dying of lassa disease
And they told us it is a lesson to learn.
We are been shut up by boko Haram
And they smile on their white chairs and 
Told us that we don't need to be alive.



Help for we are dying...

The day is very different than it used to be.
Air that once was bitter now is warm and soft.
Birds sing springtime’s sweet and vernal melody
and deep within my heart their song is quickly caught.

The night time tastes of honey now instead of sour
like vinegar to...

A Far Cry
A Far Cry 

A far cry from home
A man sat drinking 
Up a storm
2o drinks too sober

Down on his luck
Living by his wits
Down and out

On the street
Of fabled Bangkok
Just another loser

Flotsam white boy
Lost in inner space

Out of his mind
Dreaming dark dreams

As he continued to drink
A...

Far Cry Of A Wise Man
Keeping your eyes something heavenly
Is worth afterlife a good preparation
Life is fleeting we don't know its end
The reasons why people getting wiser for
A wise person looks ten times or more
He has a futuristic mind than us normal
He sees what's beyond the line horizon
He thinks deeper...
