Bullying Poems

Yesterday is a pest;
a guest that stayed too long.
A pair of used underpants
looking for a washing machine.
A ferret in a rabbit warren,
looking for trouble.
Stay clear.
Leave her alone.
She is one nasty bi@tch.

Fury beats the beast.
It just takes a man to kill...Read More

Time is a beautiful thing
It is a timeless Prince
Who opens up your mind and makes you think
I am so grateful that time has let me free
Of all the feelings that put me off the truth
I thank Allah now because He...Read More

                  THE POET AND HIS CRUEL COMMENT

Using Frost's form for "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowing Evening"

For the Haven’s advancement,
the Elite may extend a courteous backhand,
or a fist wrapped with opinion
that some may mistake for abuse.

Dante’s girl fell from her steeple
head first into a cauldron of pride,
now her feeble corpse twitches
trying to vomit the blackest pitch...Read More

The Care and Feeding of Ideas

Someone wrote them down. 
Words, on parchment, various kinds.
Someone else...
probably edited, and formatted, 
and thought through, and revised, 
and then it was all re-written. 
After consideration, 
adulation, 
spontaneous combustion of excitement, 
mixed with the revelry...Read More

I
Here lies a small brown man, maybe average, with heart, mixed
nationalities
Sounded and spelled AMERICAN, spoke always of Africa
nationalistically
Loved words, could not communicate career choices
realistically
Johns Hopkins Professors joined ones at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!)
mercilessly
In noting his non-American marriage would hurt
politically
9-11 and...Read More

These words are ghostly voices 
Heard from the ruined of hunted houses 
Unheard by those innocent ears,
tormented by accomplices who sit in fear 

These words are writers’ thoughts 
Fertilized when their ink meet their papers
Bringing forth testimonies of those unheard...Read More

It comes with a jagged dagger flashing in the moonlight! 
Teeth,...Read More

she described her work as creating creatures
using her efforts to summon the greatest fear
of people
she wanted her audience to believe her
and she wrote with an effort to
envision the deepest and darkest
feeling of fear and loneliness
the author paints the canvas
so that...Read More

Woman,

She lassos her tongue around minds
creating space in these harden times
she licks at the wounds 
she culls up the glass
a virescent glow that forever will last

She holds off the pain
with a sacred of verse
charged up to the plus
we shall all...Read More

Poems are not a thing of the past
But they are the present day choice
They make me falter and they make me fumble
I take a slice of cream and slumber under the ocean
Fantasies hit me side by side but nevertheless
I try...Read More

Hot water crisis

Suddenly no hot water
We didn’t have hot water in my childhood
We had to boil water on a kettle
Pour it into a bowl, add cold water and wash
The vital parts.
It was when it was a communal bath, I discovered
Hot...Read More

Rans nets, which bind and trap.
Ensnare and incapacitate all who swim in the oceans of life
I tangle thy golden skeins.
Your pearlescent webs that move in the voids between the 9 dimensions.
Your webs of final fate that float and dance between...Read More

Perhaps a way to turn
from failed
and often violent
retributive justice
to grab healthy hold
of restorative justice

Would ask,
What is this deep difference
between discerning judgment
and moralistic judgment?

To discern,
and not to condemn,
is mutually empowering
and not autonomously powering over another,
against all Others potentially suspicious,
falling short of...Read More

Unfair Calories 

Chocolate cake, 
can be eaten fast or slow. 
Depends on who, 
is at the end of the fork. 
But I tell you true, 
there is a thing that happens, 
to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More

ONE

I did go to 5am prayers, with flashlight, and at 4:30 

Felt remorse for my faults, as neighbor, leader, pastor ...
Even prayed for my enemies and foes, whosoever will!
Even interceding for China and the coronavirus angst, global near-panic
Lovers lost and...Read More

Before I die,
I wish to see a world,
Where no one has to fight to be equal,
Where someone’s gender and colour doesn’t matter,
Where you can love who ever you want.
I wish for everyone to be accepted,
Where you can be who you...Read More

If you don't like what I write 
Then let it be on me
Just please pass me by
And please leave me be

I just write for some peace
To try and smooth out some scars
I don't want to be cut
By your fence full...Read More

Rip it out
So much pain 
Father don't fail now
All of this trapped inside

To temp your flesh to sin
Walk away he so don't hold that pain
Let it go
Let him control...Read More

Silent Wisdom

Did you see?
Did you look?
What do think?
They are so…   …   ?

Words heard directly, 
indirectly or by accident, 
but never by intent. 
Not things you would say…
to anyone’s face,
especially theirs.
No! 
 
Not things you would sing.
Not...Read More

From Russia with love

Russia is a strange and great country, not quite in Europe
and not quite Eastern, they react to mayhem but seldom
intimate it; for those who are history less they won
The brutal war of 1940 and 1945 by breaking...Read More

Once upon a time in Erin land,
the sun smiled on the people 
the rains communed peacefully with thunderstorms
Erin flowed with palm wine and palm oil, 
And her children drank to their fill  
Oba Adeniran, was a great king,
