Best Milk Of Human Kindness Poems

When one makes viable peace 
Between erstwhile colonial whites 
And erstwhile colonized blacks 
To the advantage of the whites
We urge for a Nobel Peace Prize
Such was the case in South Africa. 

‘It is all for the greater good’
The activists will proclaim
The judges proudly pronounce
‘The triumph...

We take so much for granted in our lives
Worth decreed in monetary measure
And worthiness is for what mankind strives
Overlooking more obvious treasure

To seek a vision we were given sight
Ears to hear the plaintiff plea of brother
Consciousness to realize wrong from right
Arms to wrap our love...

I am a teacher

Eager beaver

Full of beans

I build bridges

And burn the candle at both ends

I am a teacher

Cap in hand

Full of the milk of human kindness

I fight tooth and nail

To make my pupils see reason

I am a teacher

As hard as nails

Face like thunder

I resent cheap...

Ameliorate the sensation sans being caught 
   between the devil and the dark blue sea,
This tethered to the oblate spheroid earthling 
   doth strive toward savoir-faire re:
As the fickle finger of fate flicks this mortal being 
   hither and...

It is the chicken skin wounds
by the nets every day 
for a bird in a cage
hey, someone's gotta pay

It is the situation expectation 
brokers seeing red
so whip it out, mete it 
out on some calf's head 

It is the agonizing shrieks
of a mother for a...

Have you ever really looked at the people 
As your eyes meet when you pass by each other?
Do they have the same dreams and aspirations?
Are their lives complete with both family and friends?
Or are they alone in this vast busy world,
And devoid of the milk...

the farmer knows the earth,
her cycles of preparation and harvesting,
the moon's tide and
Joseph's dream: the years of plenty
and the years of famine;
we live in the time of destruction:
Kali Yuga

growth is change and space must be made
for its planting
wild geese flying in formation leave no impression
in...

hip of hemlock to forego discontent with bing hue
man, who cherished tender mother-son glue
and wondrous tribulation, 
I harbored enshrined and unwittingly flew
from pristine sanctuary secured 
deeply in consciousness, 

which access to retrieve circumstances 
of myself as a boy still dwells in this man shun - clew
less nothing...

I saw hope today
She was a read-head
Slender and tall with a smile 
That shone bright on a moonless night
I saw hope in motion
As she walked by 
She seemed to be beckoning
Gesturing, asking me to join her
In the walk of hope
Her hand felt supple and soft
Reassuring...

April 5, 2023 – refracted reflections:

The following lines
haphazardly linkedin 
slap dash fashion
over the course 
of dazed and confused days,
therefore desist reading 
any profound meaning
if you dear reader dare expend 
energy and time perusing 
meandering gibberish. 

One mortal wedded male 
pledged his troth and married gold,
thus...

THE MANY:
I can see beneath your veil....
Pretend not that you love me
While you profess to kill a harmless  fly
With a sledge hammer;
And wickedly weld koboko 
without bathing an eyelid

LOVE:
Love is love;
I never said love is blind
If love is blind,
There won't be love burn or...

The cow waltzes around
The lamp post three times
MOOOO!
Cow’s milk
Mother’s milk
The milk of human kindness

Why weren’t you kind
To me mother?
Why were you cruel
To me father?

Why did you warp my soul?
The cow tangos around 
The lamp post four times
And weeps
