Best Tankers Poems

Voices and screams wailing from the face of the world,
There is nothing but the days of Sodom and Gomorah
Soils of syria turns to ashes 
The world is now a melting pot,
Jets and planes rocketing the face of the sky  Visions from Sango  are...

A giant magnet for young and old
Its many mysteries to unfold
For dipping toes in ebb and flow
Revealing wonders deep below
Calm and still like mirrored glass
Then raging wild a storm can blast
Giving pleasure, causing grief
Magnificent colour of Barrier Reef
Tossing sails yet lapping the shore
Sinking ships in...

The swell and surge of surf 
whispers tinnitus conched
on titanium sunken tankers 
that rock restlessly on far reef,

as children play unheeded
building imagined bastions,
nursery rhymes drown
turning back cnut tides.

Inevitably, 
sand shifts in an hourglass
that plumb the memory's depth
with rosy pictures in ruby flourescence

like monochrome holiday snaps
stored...

The Alaskan Oil Pipeline

Nineteen sixty-eight confirmed the year
Of discovery by ‘Humble Oil’
To North America’s largest oil field,
On the North Slope of the Brooks Range;
A west to east Northern Alaskan mountain chain.
An area forty miles wide by fifteen miles deep
(Although flat as a skating rink)
Following the...

[starboard port]

the ocean—an onyx plate predawn—
somnambulant ships preen with a swag of
warning lights

massive hulls: cargo ships, flotillas, tankers,
passenger liners loll; red lights buss
the somber slate of sky—spangled strings of 
bawdy bulbs on the riggings—pole dance
beside the quay—ridged, behemoth smokestacks
toy with the flames of gold and...

6 a.m

It is time to wake- 
After being bludgeoned by sleep.
A quick brush 
And a quick wash
Off to the bus-stop in a quick rush.

It’s another day 
To work for a pay
Loose soap lather-
Sticking senselessly by the tip of the ear
And white Vaseline still to sink...

Water Shortage 

I have seen the future 
Water famine and revolutions
Wars over water,
No not the kind of balloons 
Of water people throw at
Each other, nor
A wet t. shirt competition,
But real war with blood that
Runs into dry gutters 
Rustlers who kill animals for 
Their blood and...

From Valhalla’s fortress of spears and shields,	
Valkyrie riders make their daily runs…
Crossing Bifrost to Midgard’s battlefields,		
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Flying from Valhalla on their war horses,	
Thundering hooves beat like old battle drums,
Odin’s blond daughters watching the forces--	
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Legionnaires, Pikemen, Hussars and Spartans;...

Nature has gifted  humanity with so many wonders to see
One of them striking our attention  is the sea

Admire the turquoise waters created for mankind
For it has a soothing effect on the mind

Since ages the sea surrounds the land.
Flowing around the neck like a...

WHEN CURSE FLOWS

Oil! cursed prosperity
 That tar of riches 
Glitters but not gold 
A curse no the Niger Ogoni Land 
A blessing to the Arabiyya 

But they fight for it
 Killings us for it 
Not us alone, but all 
The glorious land cries too 
From...

Credit Crunch


So they rob the money
Ain't that Funny
Banker,Flankers,Tankers
Fingers in the pot
Political situation hot
Slight of hand, diversion
Laundering, pondering

Dollars devalued
Pumps run dry
Petrol prices sky high.
Weep little peasants
Learn the lies

Under employment
Over indulgence
Credit cards blaze
Fictitious accounts,
Spending craze
Bim, bam , Wham
Credit crunch

No more caviar for brunch.
Porsche parked, others jump
Pension crisis,...

I speak not but spit snot 

I speak not visual-vocals in void 
             …..But 2 evoke thy psyche

Utter not hollow heart bit whispers
Breath out immortal echoes to fuel empty tankers 
4 we must...

Fire, fire around us…

Fire burning from the top of the mountain,
 down to the sea surrounded by fire…

Grass, brush, and trees are just glowing ambers…

Fire fighters on the ground while water dropping 
helicopter are all around, drawing up water from the
 sea, brought back to...
