Bird food bought instead
Of cookies, no dread
Of eating them at tea or
Snack, I'll make brownies
Ride over the counties
Maybe do fun chores galore
Who am I kidding
Can't do forbidding
I'll just eat so much, much more
Maybe some apples
Dipped so they're dappled
No, I'm trapped just as before

why this strong man Kim Jong cried?
who can resist pains?
as President Kim Jong
saw his population decreasing,
he was crying in front
of the group of
some women.
pleasing them
to give birth to more kids
to avoid some challenges
in the future.
many women of North
Korea were touched by his speech
and also cried.
why this strong man Kim Jong cried?
who can resist pains?
The cry of President Kim Jong publicly
called attention of many leaders
who always neglect the citizens
of their counties.
President Kim Jong promised many things
to all women who will feel his pains
and bring more children
to life.
No matter how some folks
claimed that rapid
population of Africa
is the cause of climate change.
BUT
President Kim Jong continue
to expose some liars
As seeing importance
of rapid population growth
in his country.

A daydream
as some Africans wait for some western
media to push the agenda of decolonisation
of Africa.
A daydream
when some Africans of diaspora think of being
respected by some westerners
when some African countries
are still in neo - colonisation.
A daydream
when some Africans sing about "free Africa "
and others join colonisers
to remain in neo-colony
for the minority benefits.
A daydream
when millions of Africans
and african descendents
keep promoting some western stuffs
on social networks which ruine
the development of Africa.
A daydream
when some western corruptors
and banks cupture some African corrupt leaders
and end up sabotaging the economy
of their counties wantonly.
A dream
To Free Africa is a good dream
of many loyal african leaders
who continue to stand for the rights
of all Africans.
A dream
To Unite Africans is a good dream
of millions of Africans who are betrayed
by some African traitors.

They sure bear battles but no enmities,
At borders build brotherhood’s bonhomie,
Exchange smiles and burry adversity
That may arise from mutual miseries.
The wars are won by kings and their counties,
Soldiers only fight battles and lay life,
Their families suffer deep abject strife,
And forgotten once settles all the crease.
They that build bridges soon are forgotten,
Conquerors cross over, Ravan to hunt,
Victorious, Ram-Laxman feel triumphant,
And monkeys that made it miss all the fun!
They that know nor yet hate, each other kill,
Those that hate, scarce with scary battles deal.
__________________________________________
Sonnet |02.10.2023| war
Poet’s note: ‘Ravan to hunt’, the reference is to Ramayana, an epic poem of some thirty thousand quatrains called shlokas. Today’s world is full of conflicts. Whilst battles rage, who suffers? The common folks, the so-called couth and innocent of the society. This sonnet is born from this anguish.

some African presidents forced the retirement
of some military generals and others removed them
from some key posts yesterday
After the coup d'état of Gabon.
Some African presidents
who think to own their countries
and stayed on power for decades
now they have much fear to lose powers
like Ali Bongo and others.
This strategy won't help them as the young leaders
who are majority in the army many African counties
need change of some regimes.
It is difficult to stop those coup d'états
As the African youths
understand what they are doing.
It is called "no retreat, no surrender operation."

In Florida counties a shadow is cast,
Resides corruption, a damning blast.
Where truth's obscured by a darkened hue,
In counties cloaked, the tainted few.
In Orange's grasp, a sleight of hand,
A web of deceit across the land.
Broward's halls echo with deceit,
Where honesty finds no safe retreat.
Miami-Dade, where palms are greased,
In shadows lurk, the wicked feast.
Palm Beach sways with ill-gained might,
Where virtue's lost, submerged from sight.
Hillsborough's tale, a stain unseen,
The truth entangled in a web so keen.
Lee County's woes, a murky tide,
Where trust erodes, and hope subsides.
Let's seek reform, where darkness reigns,
Expose the truth, break free from chains.
For in these counties, hope resides,
To cleanse the stain, where virtue hides.

ENGLAND. Year Posted 2007
Rainsoaked fields,pastel green,
perennial impressions of country scenes.
Shire counties cramped and compact,
neither temperate,changeable and inexact.
Seasons merging into one,
winters' mild,summers of sometime sun.
Ancient,historic and quaintly modern,
pub-grub,village greens and cricket squares sodden.
Precedent law,judged by our peers,
diverse opinions expressed sans fear.
PS
A language now a global gift
its English please never use 'Brit'

Atlanta, Georgia
Is filled with some smart people
The parks offer peace
'Til someone is killed by guns
Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog
Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos.

Author of “The Satanic Verses” was stabbed
this morning in NYC.
In New York, doing a reading, that city which
now allows criminality.
Yes, I know a Fatwa, was put on his life.
But he’s fearless, not out to please and can
deal with strife.
I do hope he successfully recovers.
I like writers who do not put truth under pretty,
people pleasing covers!
A few of his quotes are listed below..
They are universal for all free counties.
1. What is freedom of expression!
Without the right to offend, it ceases to
exist.
2. Language is courage: The ability to
conceive a thought, to speak it, and
by doing so, to make it true.
3. A mature society, understands that at
the heart of democracy, is argument!

APRIL 23 NATIONAL DAY of ENGLAND
ENGLAND my England
In England on April twenty-third
hurrahs in celebration are to be heard
the cross of St George is unfurled to fly
& the shouts of true patriots loudly cry
My England
Rainsoaked fields,pastel green,
perennial impressions
of country scenes.
Shire counties cramped
and compact,neither temperate,
changeable and in exact.
Seasons merging into one,
winters' mild,summers
of sometime sun.
Ancient,historic and
quaintly modern,
pub-grub,village greens
and cricket squares sodden.

Block this, block that
Black this, black that
I am sick and tired
Of seeing the hatred
And the obvious prejudices
Destroying countries, counties
Districts and municipalities
Where biased authorities
And utterly corrupt and ornery judges
Rule like lions in the wild jungles.
Black this, black that
Block this, block that
Where nobody wins
And everybody loses
From venomous doses
Of ignorance and intolerance
We are all fraternal twins
With different level of shade and nuance
Oh! Nobody is perfect
And I am daringly correct
Like the angel snoring on the deck.
I have never seen a black country
I have never lived in a black county
Unfortunately nonsense prevails
And common sense is assailed
Oh! I will spare you the details
So you won’t faint, fade, fall and fail
As you lurk, search, muse and chase your tail
Black this, black that
Block this, block that.

What is the little chair doing on that tree?
What little chair? I have no idea what he means.
He points it out.
Oh, that’s for squirrels to sit on while they eat a cob of corn.
You put the cob on the spike in front of the chair.
His grin is amazingly wide now.
I knew it’d be something like that, Grandma.
His delight shows two counties away.
I hope to never disappoint him.

The ultimate Irish holiday,
known as St. Patrick's Day,
is quickly on its way.
So here is what I'll say:
There are twenty-six counties in the Republic, and six counties in the north.
That makes a total of thirty-two where Irish ladies can come forth.
They are some of the loveliest women I have ever seen.
These sweethearts don't always have to wear green.
It doesn't matter if they come from Dublin, Belfast, or Galway;
these wonderful women aim to please on any day.
