Best Pig Headed Poems
The African CryMama Africa,
Land of my ancestors' birth;
Source of all mankind,
the once Shangri la of mother earth.
Stir up the spirit of the Mau-Mau in vibrato on the bongo.
Your ways are far higher than the crags of the Kilimanjaro.
Let the cry for freedom rides the...

The Broken UrnEyes flared in agitation
Damasked in utmost lament
The tyrants laughed in vanity
Remains of his mother lie still
As if the winds were holding their breath
The urn cracked and cold as night
Alone, the eyes softened
His heart a hermit of radiance
Temples tingled as silence stayed
The unprofaned laughter now...

SorryStubborn, pig-headed, obstinate
just had to have my way, inconsiderate
wanting this, wanting that, only what I could bring
trying to control everything;
made you bend to all my dreams
poorly self-centered planned schemes,
you bent, reluctant but ever giving in
my wants and needs, my selfishness forgiving;
not...

Primal IntelligenceIntelligence,
including, but not particularly indigenous to,
human intelligence,
begins with nutritional ecopolitical exchange systems,
discerning what might be good to consume,
and healthy to produce for and with future generations,
and what might become a more toxic pest
attracted to me as your next best meal.
Humans enjoy speaking of our gastric-rooted...

Now the End Has ComeNow the end has come
I'm so furious
about your attitude
and feelings about us
You're pig headed and rude
To avoid arrest
I walked away
Knowing you'd protest
my love isn't a game to play
I clenched my fist
To hold back the venom
while the truth you'd twist
Now...

Learn the Hard WayMy mama warn me about boys like you.
But I was to pig headed to listed to her.

With all the things mama warn me about.
Always left me regretting it,and saying I'm sorry.

Youth and NaivetyBright eyes looking in the mirror
Curious, old, yet still striking.
Searching, wondering, mysterious.
All the comforts of youth and naivety.
Defiant and forthright
What does that mean?
Pig-headed and stubborn, one face looks into the other.
Forever constant and too fragile to change,
One end linking to the other,
Joined at...

Time's Up TrumpSo this is the end
Your presidency has expired
Smelling like a pile of fertilizer!
Taking the rights of everyone!
And lies you mask to sound true
Just to save your toasted behind!
Your lies keep burying you
Deeper and deeper into that hole
Until you meet Satan in Hell
Who'll be happy to...

Lucky He Ain'T Dead
That boy ain’t gon amount to much,

Boasting that only suckers pray

in his empty head
Mama just...

One Breath of LiberationShe was crouched
semi collapsed
no one could touch her
a fire of dignity
would raise from her feet
to lift the line of her chin
determination etches new lines
worry brought
the sweat pig headed pain
corrugating furrows
soldiering on
striking and slashing
at every obstacle
till time had no mind
for her pride
and the spectre
that...

A Difference In OpinionA Difference in Opinion
There once was a conversation
Bickering about something,
Something somewhat preposterous.
The two fought
side on side
Left on right
When in the end they agree to disagree
cause both are too obstinate, mulish, and pig headed
There all of these at once because no...
