HIS SKY ARCH CANVASSING
HIS SKY ARCH CANVASSING
Seeded by seminal rays
Of sunshine,
Out of the pregnant womb
Of breaking water,
She comes;
Doming over
The throne of earth:-
No less than always,
Her crowning has been
A reflective multi-hued
Bouquet only God
Can gather and
Gloriously arrange:-
As old as time–
But not altered by its history–
Is her everlasting
Hemispherical radiance:-
From time immemorial,
The world has been
Privileged to see
Her radiant, colorful glow:
Nothing has

GOD'S CANVASSING NIGHT
(A MLOKU)*
What a magnificent canvassing God gave us in the sky tonight;
The full moon and all the constellations glowing hypnotically;
With the oceans and the seas below, reflecting this glorious sight:-
*A 3-line poem with each line
having 17 syllables and the 1st
and 3rd line ending in a rhyme;
focus may be on

Politics
Politics
Activities associated with
The governance of a country
As simple as
The administration of an organisation
But there is always power struggle
And greed for wealth
Politics become unusual
Because of power struggle
And greed for wealth
A sordid affair indeed
Conspiracy, canvassing
Scandal and bribery
All make things complex
And bring great sorrow to the people
Who are ignorant and innocent
Sometimes
We should blame the politicians

A Liar
A liar
He knows the truth
But he never speaks the truth
Recently a lot of politicians
Tend to become liars
Just for canvassing and power
The point is that
They got a lot of supporters
People are willing to listen to them
Just for a better tomorrow
To satisfy greeds
Because of ignorance
Carelessness
Poverty
And helplessness
A liar only success
When there are listeners
Unlike you never

To Cheat Death
The politician cheats us
During canvassing
With a super mask
Some sweet words
And many smart promises
Before canvassing
We're are always in the right
After election
We're always in the wrong
He betrays us instead
He cheats
People bury the hatred in the hearts
And curse
But I believe
We won't have the power
But
He can't cheat death
He can't cheat fate
He can't cheat God
But
It'll

Conflict and Compromise
Somebody starts everything
As a conflict
And makes it a compromise
In front of bribery
Election canvassing
Demonstration or strike
A long way to fight indeed
For truth and justice
Which is already existed
Before we arrived at this world
Why

Canvassing a Feud
CANVASSING A FEUD
symmetrical spots splatter
on a blue butterfly caught
in a feud between poppies
