Premium MemberWEATHERING THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT: A REPOST FOR 2025

In this, the death-prone winter of our discontent,
the world lay languishing from mitotic chaos
and malignant uncertainty---spreading a pandemic
cancer of destruction over the body of our moral humanity.

Infected rebirth cells of ancient crusade history
scatter world wide---blown like dry leaves
in chilling winds of cold war seasons.

Here, in the frozen season of time, Armageddon
stalks democracy in the chilled midnight hour;
while in the twilight of the eve of destruction,
world watchers waddle the time away: constructively
engaged in spotlight moments of warming scenes.

With a bloody but unbowed head, let not our world wallow wearily
in the mirage of winter’s defeat; nor allow her frigid blast
to shatter the bruised reed of hope or out the burning wick of love.

Let us stare adversity in the eye, rekindling the spirit of unity;
let us refashion the crumbled, rejected stones of our moral society;
we building a new and better world where we hold it to be self evident:
peace---perfect peace, is the dominant ethos of our recaptured humanity.

All that nervous energy
    a one-way street to entropy
 
  Better used constructively
    channel it to empathy

You Said

O yes, you are right in your way of understanding
But I do not stand still under your sleuth of thinking
You said, there has no meaning to your expression
But I’m the regular flow of the words game mission

Who is a poet, who is not, what poetry is- I don’t know
But as a human being, I have feelings to write and show
You said, there were missed many things for your grip
But I find all as usual I’m, though I’m not a poet of deep

Poet and poetry are spontaneous frequency of human
Where nature and time make the insightful light of pen
O dear critic, as a human I’m there in my natural veins
Though you are bothered by my creation but I’m sane

You can criticize, encourage, someone said- you can’t discourage
I say all can discourage me constructively so that renew my phase

Premium MemberAnger

Anger can be used constructively
To fight with positive action
I am angry that our government is killing us
I am angry that now, wildlife is killed
There is no accountability with corruption
I fought for justice for many years before
I know all about it and the havoc it wreaks
Now I see it amplified as anger coincides
But my fight for truth will never end!
It may as well be written on my grave 
When my days here are rightfully done
I will carry on knowing I did everything I could

My Forefathers

As the bones of the forefathers 
Find their way
May you sit on top
And observe your work
As there is more to come NDESANA
I journey is not a journey
Until it is taken Qwashu 
Constructively as it formulates
A song is not a song
Until it is sang MBOYI 
Silently as it builds up
A dream is not a dream
Until it has been lived NGAYIBANJWA 

Dreamy eyes saw a path
Yet it does not have a title VULAMASANGO 
As the votes of the forefathers 
Foresee your existence 
May you be blessed abundantly 
And be free
As there is freedom to be utilized LETA

Stream of Conciousness

collaborate, elaborate

conductively emasculate

submissive, entanglement

collectively salivate.

redistributive contemplate

delirious encapsulate danger-

actualize, substitutive penalize.

collectively, abstractness from

radiance to darkness.

antagonistic death rate

the fallacy in dead weight.

reprehensible antithesis

conglomerate esophagus. 

speckled and corroded,

constructively demoted.

perniciously solitude, destitute and longitude.

contact free cohesively elongated actuality.

substantially creative

ingeniously innovative.

crafting masterpiece from thread

contempt breeds success or death.

the effort does not translate to achievement.

Rejected Child

Lost in bitterness she alarms
Voice became sharp to their ears
Back to back, they threw her out
Slippers left her feet with tears.

Standing on that road she sweats
After nine months she was rejected
Parents left her in an absolute mess
Lawyers passed and don't care.

O, parents! you're the cause of the rape
You're the cause of prostitution
If this child shall die from severe headache,
What will you say about misery?

O thy mothers! can you bear a child and beseech death?
O mothers! can you lose pounds of blood and see thy child in tears?
O Parents!, work constructively,
And change your mentality.

Spotlight

The world is a stage,
We are all thespians,
Same pulpit different speech,
Same director none can escape but different scripts,
Different roles and different accolades,
That's life so play your role right the universe got its camera zoomed on you.

We judge others forgetting we are in the same chapter.
We focus on the Protagonist forgetting we are Antagonists
and the roles are constantly switching thus tables turn,
One minutes you are the Villain , the next a Hero.

Make sure when the almighty director with the big screen watching us as we do our thing by the time he yells cut you contributed your art constructively.

The scene is yours , take an Oscar for it.

Format What's That

Hey friends well here's the scoop
I really like this website Poetry Soup
I don't know how to format
I'm really bad with grammar
Sometimes when I proof read my poems
They look like letters from the slammer
It took me three days to write the one 'bout Sun and Sand
Then I put through a grammar site and didn't understand
They said everything was correct I didn't need their aide
Then they said my writing level was about third grade
I don't think that was my idea of constructive criticism
They didn't have to say 3rd grade they could've used a Euphemism 
They said I need to learn new words and to not repeat
I felt like throwing my lap top right into the street
But then I looked at comments and wouldn't ya know it
My friends on Poetry Soup said I am a poet!!!!!!

Thank you Constance, Rob, Jan and everyone else who knows how to constructively
criticize and for all the compliments. Happy Writing 2021!!

Shove

Shove the lights up and reach high,
Forget about the bird, in the freezer:
Throw in the Celebrations, em, my,
Wrap ‘em all up until they’re cheerier.

Fight with the sim partner on money,
More is blessed when you’re tall,
Buy three birds in one, okay, honey,
Your technology is your best haul.

Figure into the jigsaw a caring chat,
No elderly person should be lonely:
Make the stocking up with its rich lat,
Including what they don’t need, only.

Settle down to hot chocolate, latte,
Once your journey along the street,
Is finished for today until the proxy,
Opens another door of giving greet.

Choose to sign your cards yourself,
Not the partner, bro, carer, printer -
Grin when you’ve delivered, stealth,
Posted, your presents to that bearer.

Give to the NHS worker massively,
A thank you from that room so lit, fit,
That relaxing room so constructively,
And to the carer who knows to sit.

‘Tis the season to venture out, do,
In cosy jackets to assist the walk,
Singing pop n’ classic Christmas mew,
Wearing jumpers with symbol talk.

Premium MemberStop the Hate

Why do we hate, I often wonder why?
It spreads like a virus, causing our soul to calcify.
Expanding stupendously, as far as your eye can see.
Cornered in time, triggering its inhabitants to plea.

Love thy neighbor, is it really all that hard?
Refrain from following awry masses, stop playing off someone else's card.
It's time we make a change my friends, worldwide.
Start living for each other, instead of choosing a specific side.

Lead by example, constructively engage each day as we all should.
Stop focusing on only bad, and refocus on all that's good.
Expand your mind, try putting yourself in another's shoes.
There are two sides to every fence, each with different views.

Premium MemberThe Book of Life

The book of one's life has been written 
The paths he has to walk on have been traced
The goals to be achieved have been chosen
The time of completion of the events has been set.

One has just to:

Read carefully and understand the plot of his book
Walk on the indicated paths and never deviate from them
Help materialize each of the goals set according to his abilities
And
Finally, be ready to accept what may come without complaining

For

Our Lord has given to each of us what it takes to participate, constructively, in the becoming of the cosmic order. 

He neither coerces us nor allows us His divine plans to destroy. 

He has given us freedom, but He also has set 
inviolable universal laws to safeguard His creation 

Thus

Whoever oversteps these cosmic laws will face the 
consequences of his actions

In that case 

One has to know that God is not to be blamed!

Premium MemberCareful How We Love

CAREFUL HOW WE LOVE 

We must love so carefully,
though beautifully and spiritually,
Must ever love so prayerfully,
Making sure it’s truly love. 

Love should not be secretly, 
but publicly and accountably,
Not destructively, but constructively,
Take care for how we love.

Love should not be questionably,
but sacredly not untruthfully 
witch’craftily, or evilly, 
selfishly or deceivingly, 
oh it’s unbelievably, 
what’s passed off as true love. 

Love is not what you say, 
It’s more what you do,
Behind the back love, and to the face too,
Love doesn’t harm ...or ever lie to you,
If only you knew... what I know that you do,

You would be very careful,
So much more very careful,
We must all be careful 
Careful how we love.
