     The whole of my life is rather mundane, endured only until those few minutes gained; Yes, granted reprieve from this daily drudge, and allowed for the nonce, even if begrudged, to hold a feather,very sharp, to write with the tip....

It's Not Over Until It's Over

and it's not what it looks like until God has His way

when you look at a Pastor of anyone who's in service to the Lord God
you have no idea what they've gone through nor the...

Freedom
Walk the wooden deck 
of the boat I was tied and shackled to.
Feel the sun as it reaches down to
the cotton fields I have picked, burns the ground and singes 
the skin dark as the night that 
calls for us all to find our freedom.

Hold...

The Fears I Have
I fear, I will not be enough for that world outside,
I will not measure up to that who they expect me to be, want me to be.
I fear the one I breathe… the one I see, will only see another.
I fear for these faults I...

Secrets
Our secrets have life
Enormous flagellation
Waiting to be told

"What is it?", I ask
What is this dark atmosphere?"
"You are so quiet."

He will not tell me
Do I really want to know?
It may make things worse

Risk is always there
The friendship is suffering
The still, cold, silence

We dance around it
He goes...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 58

No way must such protective force serve politics
Nor ally dictator army criminal police
None might weigh on Nature to impose its ethics

No exceptions tolerate no geopolitics
No super power excuse to fiddle with peace
No way must such protective force serve...

Hello 2016
Hello 2016...
At the stroke of midnight last night..
There were raucous cheers and noisy fanfare ..
There were vigorous displays of fireworks..
As Malaysians welcome 2016, full of hopes..

Hello 2016...
May the price of petroleum per barrel be up...
This country reserves are low, it needs to be up..
It wouldn't...

      what is best for you in his words...

Lost At Sea
Out at sea on the flimsy raft
My Zorro mask and Tarzan pants can't help
Used only to wipe my brow under the punishing sun
I lost them too after a while by a crashing wave
What could be worse than losing your clothes
Monstrous charcoal clouds mount heavier than...

Tribute To Despolite
TRIBUTE TO 
DESPOLITE.

My eyes are blinded 
with tears, yet my 
heart see's the 
despairing cry of 
despo student. 
The scent of agony 
and fragrance of pain 
weigh on my mind.

Legs were broken, 
blows were taken, 
gases were breathed 
in,siblings once 
nutured by sweet 
mothers were...

The Duck of Guilt
when I was a little boy I ran into a little bit of bad luck
with my new slingshot I mistakenly killed my Nanna's pet duck
I was frightened and so scared that I had a panic attack
and thinking like a child I buried the duck in...

DAMN

I`m damned if I do,
And damned if I don`t,
In questions of will,
And questions of won`t.

Each time I try,
To converse with him,
He misunderstands,
And patience wears thin.

Although I agree,
With his views on most things,
He questions my feelings,
Because I don`t bring,

A host of these matters,
To discuss and debate,
To...

The Price of Valor
Agony is nigh ever-present in humanity. 
It is the nefarious antagonist that unabashedly lurks in the shadows;
And With detestable malice, it strikes with a hellish wrath. 

This abhorrent lash is the unintentional crafter of heroism.
It inadvertently forges a shield that encompasses willpower;
And from it, absolute...

Mama
She still pulls enough strength to keep going
Despite the tedious roles that weigh on her shoulders
She does not complain about her troubles
Neither does she brag about her blessings
She is a true emblem of bravery
She would dare a tigress
To just have her child breathe one more...
