Craven cupidity, contemptible crow
Your talking is squawking as black as your soul
If birds of a feather would gather your hem
A collection of seamstresses darker than them
Would weave from hole cloth a pattern of lies
From a harvest of calumny dark'ning the skies
Who rates this performance, whose benefit there
With bait this enormous just fit for a bear
Who else in the forest could relish this feast
Galumphing, triumphing, it must be a beast
Wallowing, swallowing, swampy at best
Content to recline there and dine on the rest
Immobile as a trophy, stuffed for display
On future repast, blackened feather filet
Blow hard and bellow with yellowing cries
Gather like fellows who feast on these lies
If chapels had been churches, your cathedral would loom
'stead of gathering shadows in this canyon of gloom
With your bins full of blight and your gather of smut
We hasten to bid you not good night but... what?
We wonder still under quick'ning despair
In search of escape, it must be here but... where?
There must be some light lest this darkness o'erwhelm
We must brave the night til the Good take the helm

when accused of blither-blather
seek shelter in the moment, rather
than plunge right in confrontationally
into a bottomless pit of calumny
remember to count to ten again and again
ramp it up to a thousand, don’t pretend
if you’re still hot, don’t plead that you’re not
or let bygones be bygones and all that rot
‘coz the chickens always come home to roost
when and if you’re still juiced
you just might slice that swollen face wide open, catsup-red
then hallucinate as into grinning spiders it is shhh-RED

Sir! You Have Besmirched the Good Name Of My Pangolin
Nothing can be the same now -
before the recent pandemic
my companion Pangolin
Boris and I,
were carefree,
and happily plying our trade
as chimney sweeps in Siberia,
but since the ‘great lie’
we dare not show our faces
in any town or city,
for they have labeled Boris; a good, kind,
not too gentle creature
as a SPREADER'!
O the calumny. the infamy the inaccuracy!
Now our only recourse
is to have him dress up as an Anteater
and move to Bolivia.

I am African, I affirm that i am Original African
untainted, unblenched, unsoiled.
I am African,
with all the dignity of the first human.
unashamed, unbowed, undaunted. I am African.
unique, culturally so.
I am from the people whose origin birthed all others,
the first creatures of Earth.
I am African,
Boldly I declare,
with this strength and sinews affirming,
though they obscure my origin with fabrication,
and contorted the fact with lies,
Yet, my spirit aligning with the truth undeniable, I am African.
Though the glare of calumny opposes,
and unvoiced spite rent my melanin,
I stand unfettered declaring, I am African.
unrestricted traversing the globe,
from this climes to India,
I carry beauty across continents
sowing seeds everywhere.
I bore the heat unblenched.
I retain the goodness of Gold.
This sun does not affright.
it leaves no particles with the scourge.
When you see me touring the Land with strength,
Remember,
I am African.

Bricks of pain heaved on feeble frame
Hell’s ring tone in fragile ears
Exits incomparable in life’s little memory
A goddess gone, the pillar of a heart’s strength.
Lured above reason by fables,
By mean mortals of and kings of calumny
“They said, and the tattlers said”
to the end of a structure so rare.
This trust is tested,
As hope crumbles
Among dark rumors by strange marauders,
A heart nurtured for stranger’s gains
An Oprah’s regret found in Ruth.
All entreaties as weak words they fall,
And so must I let the bird fly to her nest,
Into hideouts carved by her lust and greed,
Seeking a heaven in hell’s lies.
A foretelling powers of bygone times
Pronounced this exit by lightning's speed.
Goodbye to true parleys of the heart,
An End to the dream by imputed fables.
A shaking of wind, a tossing of sea
A tornado of earth’s fires
A true test of oaths and love
Goodbye to what men call love.
now and forever know.
Eros is a stranger to agape

Good bye cheering souls,
to this clime i come alone.
from hence i now depart,
goodbye to cravings and pleasure,
goodbye to the race of time,
to their jeers and calumny,
to the contest of vanities and gauderies
goodbye to successes and failures
to love and hate, i ride on wings
to dreams and ambitions.
I cease from the race with mere men.
Goodbye to mundane, the joys of a moment
goodbye to all that men calls gains
goodbye to affections, to lies and illusions
goodbye to all
when you wake up from life's dream
you will say your goodbye too

TULSI ACROSTIC
T-Tulsi is tenacious and not one
to take any guff!
U-Unshakeable and uncrushable
under "missing email" HRC's
horrendous harumph!
L-Lion Hearted Tulsi was to
meet with HRC,face to face.
S-Staunch,so solid is her stand!
and won't take HRC's lies lined
with unproven disgrace!
I-Irate, she is! And rightly so!
She remembers so well HRC's
lies about being in enemy gunfire
in Bosnia, oh?
.....................
~Poem re:Tulsi's Nemesis~
HRC, had better things on her
to-do list, so just she didn't show!
Making a new,untruthful list~
of those she thinks are plotting
to overthrow her HRC presidency.
A shrew, who dreams of all her
political foes as
Dancing with evil Russians...
a go-go!
And so, like sweet petunias in
a funky,briar patch,
For HRC's calumny, there is
no match!

DECEITA
Oh what a circus, what a show!
The United States Senate has gone to town
Over the selection of a judge to the Supreme Court
They’ve all gone crazy
And there’s none who can do it with such self righteousness
Falling over themselves to get
All the hypocrisy right
They couldn’t let it happen
It had to be changed
Couldn’t have a Judge with constitutional belief
That could ruin all their Utopian plans
Must arrange his removal
Ran around looking for somebody who
Would accuse - old answer there all the time
Destroyed reputation in view
And as for facts and veracity
They never invited them in
They found a martyr, who’d represent all the suffering
of her sex
Nulling basics of evidence and truth
The end justifying the means
Cry now for the Constitution
The truth is no longer objective
With accusations wild
And with no evidence
They found him guilty
He’s deemed defective
Cry now for Lady Justice
Assumed innocence holds no longer
We have a victim now
And he the assailant
No need for witnesses
Calumny is stronger

Gait precedes her beauty,
Her calm nature - a soothing balm to Sango's anger,
calumny isn't our threshold mark, yet,
she sells shells for the onlookers.
The aura of her loins,
weakness I cannot feign.
Dreadful in the sight of the Lions,
but a cave light for Dem enchantress.
Shall you say your beauty runs us berserk?
Has it taken away our senses?
Nature has its call and obedience to call, for,
forlon nature drives us mad.
Wit of Kings faileth all,
strength of Hercules buried him.
What shall we say then of this treasure?
Time has its' gain on it!
Beware of the chalices.
The strength hasn't failed me yet.
Wits hasn't gone out of one.
Ewatomi.

In my lair
I seized life by her hair
Cos I was fed up with the affair
In which folks went for broke
In harsh words and tones they spoke
Crushing my stark reality as they awoke
Feeling guilty
Cos stalking me became their utility
Frowning at the versatility
I took in my stride
As they plotted and slayed my pride
When without an iota of shame they took me for a ride
Assuming their insidious acts wouldn't boomerang
When calumny and salacious stories on their smart phones rang
With a boisterous bang and slang
To the past they couldn’t escape
Although through odious humble pie they scraped at the cape
Where teeming with sorrow in the lovescape
That consorted the folly
They flaunted when they taunted Polly
To delight rival Molly
Who by my side had stood
Resolute in a nasty neighbourhood
Where derided and misunderstood
I lay no claim
To the lair in which I played a fair game
With neither friends nor foes as I swallowed both blame and shame.

Your best investment lies in God’s hands
Which guarantee life, love and boundless care
Regardless of kinds and types of lands
Which your feet dare to walk without forking out any fare
In kind or slush cash
Men and women whose whims
Reduced at death to mere ash
In their temperamental and sentimental teams
Depending on their tricks or moods
Choose to dole out
In their woods
Filled with mood swing and doubt
Until to the core of your mind
Comes the realization
That in men and women
Lies neither your salvation mission nor determination
To bring to fruition the destiny
God in his purpose
Chose not in your mutiny or calumny
But from his original source
Because in the end only God has the wherewithal
To anticipate, explicate, facilitate, replicate success in your every need
Without under fire a retreat tactical or strategic withdrawal
To ensure that your dreams, missions, portions and options succeed
In addition, God loves you too much
To let you continue to fail
Within every critical touch or dream bunch
In your heart, your home or in your self-inflicted jail.

Another man
Another plan
Hung on a
Godforsaken tree
One dread kiss
And then
Was this
Eternal calumny
How bitter
Seems the glitter
Of dark silver
Simony
No shining glory
In this story
Just shame and death
For all to see
In the daylight
And with hindsight
Could not there
Light and mercy be
For it was writ
This would be it
That all these things
Would come to be
The portrayal
Of his betrayal
Haunts our own
Humanity
No kudos
For poor Judas
Only lonely
Ignominy

Talking about other people can hurt you and them
Even if you meant no harm
You could be guilty of a serious sin called, “calumny.”
If you believe the negative reports you hear about others without verifying the facts
You will be guilty of rash judgment
False reports contributed to Jesus’ condemnation and death
Having suffered from them
One can imagine that Jesus takes a dim view of calumny and rash judgment
“Detraction”
Another serious sin that involves disclosing someone’s faults or misdeeds to listeners who didn’t know about them
Without an objectively good reason
Such a disclosure almost always impacts a reputation
Rather than risk hurting someone or sinning yourself
Follow grandma’s wise advise “If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”
