Epoxy Curfew

Terrazzo, Terrazzo!
Keep me satisfied
She curfewed all
With an artisans
Doing of work
A world shall envy me
That my floors shall
Be works of art
Clean enough for people
To dine
I shall stand before them
And brag that it is mine
Those novice wishers
Who wish to how it was
Done
Shall hear the stories of
This artesians labor and
The price of the contractal
Science we had begun.

Premium MemberCurfew

Midnight strikes the bewitching hour
Earlier, if she wants to not meet her father's dour,
When a virtuous daughter is expected to be home
And the young man not to be considered a gnome,
If not, all the relationships are likely to sour.

Switched off at night as we close our eyes.

Freedom

With its own refreshing taste…
Any life from it severed, an unarguable waste,
Now seemingly abstract, soon fiercely concrete:
A pair of good shoes for all feet!

Before me solidly sketches a wing,
The palpable symbol of this inalienable thing
That one from Africa can lift
To places farther by the widest shift.

From one freedom is promptly taken away
After senselessly toying with

Premium MemberThree Days of Curfew

On the first day of curfew, I defiantly walked the streets,
but was soon escorted back home by my local police.
On the second day of curfew I walked the streets again as well,
but spent the rest of the evening locked up in a holding cell.
On the third day of curfew I sat in front of my

Going,Going,Gone

The curfew city rustles
People begin their hustles
Transport and markets bustle, noisily
The curfew has served its purpose,obviously

We get it more clearly now
From ourselves we knew not, to protect us, how
Enter the consummate politician
He protects business interests, not the Physician

He spews numbers daily bigger
Wields authority, we figure
Advises that we borrow heavily, to save us
We get broker, as

Stimulating Pockets

They claim they care
How their bank accounts fair!!
As your health, to paramedics, they leave
Their next loan tranche to sieve

From curfew to lockdown we flit
As on their ample behinds, they sit
While the masses hunker down
The deep state's in town

Trial and Error In Africa

I give up in despair
The damage to repair
Second hand theories abound
Seeking to keep me safe and sound

The laws are changing fast
Communal activities now in the past
Quarantines and lockdowns they order
Virtually sealing the border

We must all get infected
Some practices we have rejected
Morphing into copy cats
While waiting to become laboratory rats

Testing Threats and Opportunities

Testing times for the masses
Testing surprises? wrong passes
Friends on paper turned foes
WHO was there and knows

Sellouts in for the kill
Digital tracking at the till
Liberties lost, the new normal
Curfew and lockdown now formal

A World At Crossroads

teddy do you think
there's life there

i think there's more
life inside a teddy
bear

what do you see teddy

i see chimneys
i see man made
smoke

reminds of the
vatcans white
smoke

i see men afraid to
talk

i see chequered skies
con for them
Chem for us
nature of grown ups
lies

i see a city called
future

i see wounds beyond
suture

i see horrors that
made a teddy
talk

i see skin pale as
chalk

your daddy

Premium MemberTwo Minutes To Midnight

Two minutes left, then midnight's here.
	You know my dad has made it clear,
		tho we're engaged, for sure, my dear,
			to curfew rules, we must adhere.

Just hold me tight, and do not fear-
	your time to leave is almost near.
		Don't let two minutes interfere
			with our sweet kisses, so sincere.

Love words I whisper in your ear;
	you kiss my lips-

Before, During and After Curfew

7/6/17



This isn't yarn
Here to pull your card
And strong-arm
While causing you harm
Go ahead and reach for any alarm
You will still be darned
Near or far 
From any star
Barn 
And farm
It wasn't hard
To see through what you consider 'charm'
On either side of the fence and yard
You'll be gone for good with no regard

Onto a much bigger scale
Regardless of

Curfew For My Soul

My soul flew to church
roadside beauty blocked it

Charity work it embarked on
hot mouths intercepted goods

Prayer to God it made
no response from the heavens

Ascended to the heaven
black clouds built a fence

Desperate soul mine is
curfew on earth, curfew above

Where will it find solace?
where will it find a friend?

Premium MemberEyes Now Curfew

I'm hearing natures winds
Blissfully roaming through the trees
In hope I wonder I
To be graced by such breeze

As I close my eyes to curfew
Self sedation closes all around
Looking back from my inner dark
Suddenly there's no sound.
