Best Materially Poems
I am but only a human being
a women who needs material things
although I am materially blessed
I still need you Lord to give me rest
I try to take one day at a time
but at times this life weighs me down
and when I feel that I can't do this alone
that's when I pick up my imaginary phone
And place a prayer call to you my Heavenly Father
who knows how to get my life back in order
your there to listen to me 24/7
never too busy in your place of Heaven
You've known me ever since I was formed
in my Mother's womb before I was born
you know my past and my future
know how to heal all my sutures
At times my carnal mind has forgotten you
but you've never forgotten me tis true
I know who to call on when I feel blue
you keep me together like spiritual glue
I know you work in mysterious ways
to help me get through my earthly days
small and big blessings you send to me
sometimes I admit am too blind to see
This present world may be falling apart
with all the devil's arrows, slings and darts
but I know Lord you'll be with me to the end
helping me through life's dark tunnels and bends.

Dramatic Verse
History must be cherished, and artifacts revered even if they come from a time that is not pretty. Destroying historical statues, artifacts and literature does nothing to erase the fact that it happened. There will always be those who remember whether the statue stands erect or crumbled in a pile of rubble on the ground. The act of physically destroying historical artifacts and documents only serves to anger those who would prefer to remember where they came from and how much progress has been made from a time they might just as soon forget. As one who chooses to condemn criminal behavior I am angered at the destruction of history. No history is pretty. All history contains much ugliness and violence. Just read the Bible, a book about Hitler, or any historical book from a time long ago. Historical culture is valuable. We must materially remember the past and where we came from or history will repeat itself. We too soon forget how bad it was, and the same ideas will creep back into existence and occur again if not kept in check. No, history is not pretty, but it must be remembered.

Free verse
He was once a brave warrior, burned to death and sent to hell
But the devil, hearing his bidding, brought him to life with a fiery spell
Maleboglia was the devil's name, and he pledged, he'd serve him well
As to the end course of his destiny, no one could really tell
Went back to earth, he had no trace of his real identity
For, the devil Maleboglia has clouded his memory
In a state of faint confusion, his memory had come vaguely
Blurry flashback of his shrouded past had come so painfully
The fate of his love did not come beautifully
His best friend took his wife's heart, and he felt betrayed deeply
Five years have already passed since he died in agony
Had it not been for his new purpose, he would have gone fiercely
He battled thugs and pedophiles who murdered children brutally
One of his mortal nemeses was a fierce thug named Billy
With his might and iron will, he became King of Rat City
In the War of Heaven and Hell, he claimed Hell's throne rightfully
His dream of hell as paradise did not come materially
For, in twists and turns of fate, his reign ended hastily
But his hallowed destiny inscribed a track in history
For, he braved heaven and hell for earth to live in harmony

South Africa xenophobic insanity
I have a shame to say I am South African now,
Look how barbaric is our fellow citizen are,
What a damage they have caused to our country’s image,
Image that one man spent 24 years in prison to create it,
They call it democracy, how it came they forget,
Dozens of our freedom fighters spent their life in exile,
What is exile we don’t even asked ourselves,
They spent their lives in outside countries illegally,
Fighting for this freedom,
They were treated with respect,
Treated with dignity,
And received any assistance in their endeavor ,
Endeavor to fight for this called SA,
Assisted by them we now call foreigners,
It takes foreign country for us to deliver the export,
It takes the foreign country for us to receive the import,
It takes the foreign country to boost our economy,
Whoever is a refuge must be treated with respect and dignity,
If you know how it feels like to starve, sleeping in cold, killed, suffrage and etc
For once put yourself in their stand,
They are people regardless of their status, legal or illegal,
Help them and love them the way you can,
If you are a human being in right mind,
Listen to their story how they landed in South Africa, their trip,
We are not sure if this democracy will last forever,
What if we starve in future and forced to become foreigners in their countries,
Or we need their assistance, financially or materially,
What about our businesses in their countries?
I believe anyone who is xenophobic is insane and need urgent mental evaluation.
Love your country and other countries as well,
Love foreigners, help foreigners like you will like to help your neighbor or relative,
I repeat the above lines a million times. Human must feel for human.

My mother-in-law
Can I resist adopting
You are truly loved.
And sister-in-law
Materially you have all
Money levels high.
Everything they have
Deny them you are loser
Pray or you get ire!
Play with them well, Dear
Eventually you get praised
Dare as you end dead!

When I step inside your twisted reality ...
this is what my spiritual eyes see,
your soul revealed in it's totality
A scaly skin of self-serving morality ...
you always ask, what's in it for me,
what can you do for me materially?
Got emotional raging volcanity ...
spewing verbal pyroclastic debris,
you say you only speak Pompeiiese
With your serpentine smug urbanity ...
prefer a gated community,
only mingles with high society
Spread suburban mundanity ...
selling cookie-cutter, debt prison housing to families
with furnishings of faux upholstery
Invest in commercialism inanity ...
everything must be sold is your belief,
even used products with expired warranties
Keep a get-rich-quick mentality ...
you think everybody envies a successful thief,
need only confess to your corporate priest
Suited sharks all have an aggressive vitality ...
eat or be eaten is the mindset to be beastly,
you pick the bones clean with ravenous mendacity
Hiding your lewdness in the cloak of formality ...
giving gluttonous divinations at pagan feasts,
your rented body is the patron jinn of soiled sheets
Cutting all soft hearts with the blade of hard brutality ...
unlock the cages of your rapacious menagerie,
killing souls has been your most primal urgency
Tampered traffic lights creates a mass fatality ...
your hand pushes the button and turn the key,
creating carnage for all to witness your legacy
You pepper life-and-death stakes with vile profanity ...
a seasoned, master provocateur you be,
poisoning the minds with rancid digital obscenity
Rejecting all that is good for humanity ...
cursing the fruit of the life-giving tree,
you rage against the people of the holy
Time to step outside of your straight-jacket insanity ...
the evil that lives within the madness of your psyche
The truth of the cosmos shall consume you utterly

Verse
We're the worthless one
The world has no place for us
Street is our business
Under bridges is our palace
Palace of laziness
Addressed and mocked by the privileged
We were name without ceremony
Wayward, beggars, lunatic, fool…
Yet they can do without us
We are less privileged but we’re not less important
The fortunate are fortune in chain
Newspapers bear witness of untold wealth
We are materially deformed not mentally deformed
We are agree to be poor for them to be rich
The just shall judge the unjust
There is hope against hope
Our mouth, hand, brain are fertile
There is a hidden talent therein
We are judged by what they see
We worth more than their foresight
Amidst us talent has buttered our bread
Akon, African China, Wande Coal, are our testimonies
At all state we are vital
Poor state we protect their life at our expense
Our talents graze their occasion
We are not worth-less
We are king in the palace of laziness yet busy to entertain
We are beggars yet command your blessing
You need us more than your worth

I spoke the truth and ignorance and arrogance befell upon me
I spoke the truth and i lost my parents , brothers and sisters
I spoke the truth and i became a loner , living in a dark melancholy
The truth for all i care is not for the weak , not for the dead in spirit
The truth for all i care is not for perverts , infidels and adulterers
The truth for all i care is what some , like me and you are made of
I am the truth and the truth is me , it is said the truth shall set you free
No i say the truth shall grant you enemies , inbound the family and everywhere
The truth is a lonely village , the truth is a forced trip to a mental institution
The truth is for the strong , strong emotionally and not physically
The truth is for the strong , strong intuitively and not materially
Strong spiritually and not monetarily ,
O truth you are my rock
O truth you are my boulder
O truth you are my mountain
When they come for me
You melt in front of their eyes
Truth dearest truth ,you never change
Truth yesterday ,
Truth today
Truth tomorrow
Truth forever
I'd rather be alone than be without truth
The truth my life , truth you contain my anger
One day the truth shall set me free
As i truthfully wait in peace...for the truth to capture the day
For all to truthfully live in freedom

Dramatic Monologue
No other way
---------------
Materially - I live with the past, I see no other way.
Financially – I no longer live in the past, I see no other way.
Romantically - I no longer live in the past, I see no other way
for this helpless romantic, but to live with the past, I see no other way.
In my old age – I live my life, like I did in the past, , I see no other way.
On my final journey – like throughout the past, on my own, I see no other way.

Think(ing) materially gaseous Mineral
if anything can be thought to be certain
what thinks thinks up the multiverses
in the first place
minus the ego
so solipsistic faramineux worlds
as the solitary thought can contain
other diachronic universes
thought up likewise by our anti-selves
hidden by necessity to our Selves
behind blind coulisses
sliding door dimensions
opaque window views for some perhaps all
= black hole in the head
mundane life an out-of-space experiment
well why not
robots evolving into Pavlovian mice-minded humans
but experiment and life
equally part of the thinking ding an sich
neither beginning nor end
the maddened dog spinning after its own tail
keeps us in the space-time curve
the robot cannot understand nonsense
or c an it be programmed for
away with avatars saviours prophets messiahs gurus soothsayers
mystificators
give us this day our four fundamental truths
and forgive us our ignorances
for Thine is the Big-Bang
for ever and ever
till Big-Crunch Day drums at your four firm Judgement feet
who lives to prove this
if answers must always be sought
by Einsteins
discoveries awaiting corroboration
for once gone
you’re gone for ever UNSUPPORTED CODE
for THINE is the Big Banged Kingdoms
for ever and ever
till bigcrunched balls litter
your four law-bound feet

You were born into this world for me
And for all who live that would believe
You appeared among all your creation
So from our sin you might set us free
Never have you ever charged a penny
For the living words which you would speak
Even though you appeared in the flesh like us
You never coveted wealth or sinful greed
Your hands reached out to all you met
As many hearts in this world you sought to lead
You never tried to profit from the poor and widows
But freely much in their hearts you would leave
You never chose to have much materially
Though everything In this world is yours
But humbly you came and lived among us
Enriching us with the grace you kept in store
Many always claim in you they believe
But from others they seek to take away
They want to be another’s lord and master
Leaving many destroyed spirits along the way
I only want to be Christ like in my dealings
For in my life there will never be another way
I want them to see what its like to live humbly
With your true spirit teaching them every day
Remember me my LORD, each day as I rise
While by your sweet spirit I am truly led
Permit me to always be humble like you
And never please forsake me my daily bread.
For my time is very fleet in this world’s life
And before by your grace I am called away
I want to help share your light into this world
So many might find life humbly following your way.

Mother like Celestial the whole
All the time her existence in me
materially or immaterially
I can’t I don’t never not
I deny with in me
I was nothing till not
except her soul and body
Mother is my only mother
She pours highest love in to me
from each and every unending directions
She never hates me but loves and loves me......
I may do wrong to her for my own ignorance
She never does to me
what I do think about her ignorance
that's my pure ignorance I inflict in to me
She loves me unending infinity……………….
Note:- Dedication to mother only mother.

Verse
THE WORDS CAME OUT ...
I am the mannequin metal hinges rusted articulations
The unfeeling solid dead wood that swirls with patterns
The unctuous rat flickering black eyed damp molasses tipped fur he's
wet drenched sweat
runs circles in my brain fur like nicotine stains run run running rat
in my brain as I fret
He smiles as he circles round again "you will die soon" wiggles his
whiskers and runs again
The death of you comes on in an instant no glint of shimmering hope
Hot air speak words forming vibration carried anvil to drum send the
message straight through. a punctured symphonic cacophony
No arrow more materially solid can outdo words This will kill you.
Words,words, words they are naught but air imbued with magical quality
of affecting reality changing futures, fabricating pasts. They wage
wars they posses power--- to kill, heal, entice, steal, excite, defy you,
eulogize you ---death in an instant by words The words: I don't love
you anymore.

You deceiver's! You know who you are!
You have embraced The Word Of God, only to use it as a weapon!
Yes, you have aim The Word Of God, you aim your guns
and rifles, and other weapons of destruction, only to petrify and control the
hearts and mind of the weak and desperate(rich/poor materially)
human beings! The Word calls them the poor and needy, amongst you!
The Word also says: Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap!

Intelligent humans
We have been cheated on
We have been used since
A very long time in africa
We have always been their
Ladder to an ill large wealth
Yet we still believe in their
Illusion
Why fight for policticians
when behind the close doors
We are not their priority
We are never their worries
So when you keep
Hailing them
Remember is just for nothing
Intelligent humans
They are every where
They always love lies
They love to create and control
They rule all our life
They dont care about us
Is ovious we are just
Material to them
Through our pains they build
Their wealth
Our life means nothing to them
Yet they depend on us
To protect their wealth
They depend on our energy
As their security
They depend on our surport
To be on top always
Still we are so dumb to
Be their petty fools all time
Intelligent humans
Are only intelligent enough
To control and devalue life's
Intelligent humans love wars
Intelligent humans have no
Humanity in them
Either do they respect our
Struggles for survival
Intelligent humans are materially rich
They got wealth in store for
Their unborn generation to come
They got more than enough
To live and spend
Intelligent human got no wisdom
Either do they have a knowledge to love
Intelligent human
Are a big curse to every community
They are the sharks of all
Human race
Eating up our future
As they swallow our dreams
Intelligent humans are the
World biggest problem
They have created alot pain
To planet earth
They have created alot depression on earth
Despite all evil associated
With them
They are still able to keep us
Under their control
Till today it never change.
