Colossus

We are what we’re conceived,
with pleasures and dislikes
we individually perceive.

I cannot move a mountain,
and I cannot explain a tear,
but if you move that mountain,
you will see that tear.

Such a gigantic endeavour,
what a fruitless achievement.

America is immune to all appeals, a metal colossus that does not know the echo of the heart

America is immune to all appeals, a metal colossus that does not know the echo of the heart,
A nation ensnared in chains of concrete and glass, above the fields of forgotten dreams,
A cacophony of shadows that cannot decipher the language of the poet, his verses like rain
Falling on dry soil, and their desire not to

All said and done

All said and done 
Nigeria is the giant of Africa 
Though currently lost in a maze of confusion
The giant is on a journey of self-realization
The journey of self discovery 
Shedding its skin of criminal enterprise
Preparatory to launching 
into orbit of true colossus 
That destiny has thrust upon her
Rapists currently taking advantage 
Of her lust for

Love Letter To the American Dream

Love letter to the American Dream

Time has not been kind to the Giantess

Of American fame. With dreams they come

Attracted to the bright beacon promise,

Only to be dashed against the fear-dome

Of freedom lost. The Sea-washed, sunset Walls

Stand tall, guarding a crushed and crumbling Empire.

Her ruthless eyes watch for any exiled souls

That dare cross, clutching in hand

A Colossus Part 2dedicated To All Who Served and All Who Are Serving Our Country

Take care of her 
Keeping toes and ties off the ground
Beware of those with savage intent
To draw her down
Beware those of quisling heart
Who seek only to pillage then plunder her 
All those faces leering, cajoling, jeering then cheering
Distant recollections surface
Unwinding their purpose
A catalogue of misadventure 
THEIR venom put upon YOU
As they race towards their judgmental

A Colossus Part 1 Dedicated To All Who Are Serving and All Who Have Served

A Colossus
And on it 
An emblazoned inscription 
From days long gone by
A message 
Of Love 
Of Peace 
Of Dreams
Made real 
Breathe in the life
TRUE freedom brings
Of Love
Of Peace
Of Power
Of Pain
Of Happiness and Sadness
Her TRUTH
Remains
Rest upon this lady,
Who beckons to ALL
From her golden shores
For EACH of you
Her message 
Her edification 
Her promise
To EACH of YOU 
Who

The New Colossus-2

The New Colossus-2

Not like that loser green chick with the lamp,
Our New Colossus has his own gold door,
Behind it he tweets out his grand revamp:
Abjuring that which made it great before,
He seeks to make his country great again.
This brazen giant, air-bridged between the ears,
His beacon-hair glowing world-wide disdain,
Maskless, manipulates his base’s fears.
And with hogwash’d conspiracies

Colossus Riddle

COLLOSUS RIDDLE
Watcher of Thebes, your watch has made me want.
I bring you death--Oedipus.
 I proclaim,
the very solving of your mysteries.

Now cast yourself to Hades, your beauty fails.
You sphinx; hast not your buxom bared for me
where others suckling fed of hemlock's taste,
but now you must repay each soul you felled.

Die *****.

New World Colossus Deception--2015 Apropos the Sonnet of Emma Lazarus

New World Colossus Deception—2015 
     (Apropos The Sonnet of Emma Lazarus)
 
In her brazened left hand she holds the tablet year
of her shore’s liberty;
And a raised right lights the weary way to the land
 of the brave and free;
But today, blind eyes look out to the wretched skies
and tormenting seas
Where frothing

The Balloons of Colossus

The Balloons Of Colossus

Balloons abound in the surrounding heights
Colossus Grande stands in marbled grandeur
In splendor as majestic figures stretch on columns 
Statues firm with fingers pointing up 
Balloons are targeted for pleasure
Children’s smiles follow them along horizons gold
Eyes pop, mouths make the letter O
Green and red ride between the yellows next to pink
The dome around

Colossus

Unwittingly, through our unsatisfying desire for more,
mankind has given birth to the Colossus.

Able to manifest, and combine the forces of nature,
striking unpredictably, anywhere, anytime across the globe,	
not heeding boarders, nor mans defences.

As of now, the Colossus's ability for destructiveness is limited.
Yet still foolishly, blindly, nourishment for the beast is forthcoming,
poisons, pollutants, arrogantly pumped into the

The Colossus of Rhodes

The intellect behind you
Were great without measure
Such that your fame grew
A poweful you, a life treasure.

Helios still would be glad
Gifted hands who thought him 
up
The beauty of your stood
The fame that you had
Like the running over of a cup
Your sight inspired every mood.

Even at your wash
The jealousy of the land
Who ruined a huge you
Your fame

Colossus - Or Not

The Colossus of Rhodes stood erect,
commanding much awe and respect.
But his rather small shorts
held his assets - of sorts.
Perhaps, not a lot - I suspect!

They kill his name first
Then the soul and the body fizzles out
And thus the battle is won
