“Stealers-Keepers” Questioned

By Elton Camp 

If something has been stolen long enough
Then is it all right simply to keep the stuff?

The Guggenheim some art to Italy has sent
Illicit when bought, they had more than a hint

To the original owner, stolen stuff should go
At least United States...

One night …
I thought I’d glimpsed the future,
In a nightmarish scene,
Where lives were sad and pointless 
And life was simply mean,
Where people feared the future
And craved the world’s past,
Where people wanted answers
And then these questions asked:
   “Where are all the insects?

existence questioned:
when the glass door wont open,

So silent is he,
for he need not say a word.
He's proven himself....

 She led him on, through the busy Congo junction
He only knew sound, oh and touch
She only knew sight and touch, and love
Their bones ached I guess, the tatters, the dirt, the old age!
He, he followed faithfully towards a Matatu that refused them
Oh the Makanga,...

Why the twenty question game when you come home?
Was you out with friends or with a seducer of your own?

Question after question spill from my mouth..
Answers upon answers, you are still a louse!

Twenty questions doesn’t do this game justice.

Are bells heard from Heaven
Blessed be your truth
Show them to sooth
Beyond the stories of their heads
Our road is led
God love is built to last
Blessed our paths
Gave us sparkle and glow
Gifted through fallen snow
Big or small
We have cared through it all
Blessed with each skill
We accept your...

I searched for you in the night's dimmest light
Found quiet loneliness stirring in the dark
The moon's passing covered by clouds in flight
As it slowly traveled its nightly arc
This companion listened but never heard
The words pouring from pained lips of sorrow
And questioned reasons became unassured
Still lost...

Writing this poem was an uphill climb
I wanted it to be rather sublime
Did not expect to make a slim dime

What do you have? Asked a friendly mime
Nothing much I lied, just a...

A flower garden was her veil
No one questioned it
For her thumb was amazingly green

Azure eyes gave her a haunting look
Some were intimidated by her
I was a bit jealous

She exuded a beauty few can hope for
I watched her turn the corner
And loved every movement...

   Shocked, as she questioned my manhood !
   I told her, “ My eyes are up here.”
   Couldn’t understand her attitude .
   What she really meant, not clear.

    We loved each other, there’s no...

Letter to my mother, 
To you dear mother 
where you are in DrCongo
The distance between us 
Won't cut the cord which links us
I still remember all the details of our 
Last long  conversation over
The phone and your last email. 
I will do as you wished...
