FALLEN SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOIL

Weep Africa, weep on.
The battle with death is one we dare not to fight,
For the call from the great beyond is outside the scope of our existence.
Just as our known hero Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has fallen,
Like countless unknown heroes forgotten to time,
We shall all follow this path of no return one by one.

Fight Africa, fight

Daughters POV part 1

Father i'm older now
No little toes and no little nose
You may have been there in the beginning 
But not in my upbringing

You didn't let me go at heart
But throughout my life you definitely broke mine
Growing up I never had a big picture 
An imagination or a figure.All I had is what i had been told
And

A Daughters Gift

A Daughters Gift 

In life’s grand play, a gift came not just once,
But twice, in forms of joy and tiny feet.
Two stars, my granddaughters, my heart’s response,
A blessing, twice over, and oh so sweet.

From you, my child, they came, a mirrored pair,
Reflecting back our past, our love, our ties.
In their bright eyes, I see your

Ekphrasis on The Painter's Daughters

The sisters calmly sit~
not as muses,
but as morning light caught in linen~
one leaning gently into the other’s calm,
as if sisterhood were
just a dream.

The elder holds 
a silence far beyond her years,
her fingers a quiet shield
over the other’s fluttering world.
She is stillness, composed, watchful~
a portrait of care before language names it.

The younger rests
wide-eyed, soul blooming,
a child

Self Esteem

"She looks just like you!"
 They say, and I beam!
But they're saying much more 
than their saying seems…
For I'd never say to her
 what I constantly say to me…
("You don't measure up, 
you can't be enough!
You're ugly, you're stupid,
 just keep your mouth shut!")
My mind in shock, 
my heart so hurt,
To even think about speaking

Daughters

The wonderful sounds of cries when their born 
The happy tears we shed at first sight 
A newborn daughter we'll cherish 
For life and for evermore 
To watch her live and grow 
To watch her marry 
And hopefully 
When time comes 
To give 
Birth

She Never Let Her Daughters Keep Anything Messy

Persnickety fussbudget never had a mess
Raised two daughters – Wilhemina and Tess
They both became hoarders by age seventeen
No lie, I am not attempting to insult or be mean.

Their mother had spent years throwing their treasures away.
They hoard everything since they are emancipated and now have a say.
If she would have let us keep any of

Daughters of the moon

On the streets at night lined up
Like a parade waiting to be picked
Bracing the cold nights
Hoping to get something before the night ends

To hopeless arms, they'll lay
Tough times forcing them out of options
And life has to be lived 
They do anything to get by

To strangers, they throw themselves 
But they don't fall
Cause it's just for

Mama we are your Abba Fathers Kings-Sons-Queens-Daughters for Mother Chlorine Rodgers--

Mama we are your Abba Fathers Kings-Sons-Queens-Daughters

Mother we are your children
We should have understood
And who to say we didn’t or should
As adults what we were
When we were children
Mother’s embrace to Elohim Abba Father
His Kingdom Kings/Sons, His Queens/Daughters
We now embrace, mother’s embracement now in such
   ---A beautiful place
For all eternity, Hallelujah thanks be to

Dennys Diverse Daughters

delicious delectable divinely dipped donuts
drizzled during denny’s delightful dinner
denny’s dieting daughter Denise deliberately discourages diners
devouring dipped donuts deemed disgusting
digging in delightfully is Denny’s demure daughter Debbie.

An Ode to my Twin Daughters

My dear daughters, my two heartbeats,
Together, may you find life’s sweetest feats.

Like two waves in the endless sea,
May you flow together, wild and free.

Like twin rays from the same warm sun,
May you shine together as one.

Like two notes in a perfect song,
May your bond stay deep and strong.

Fight and play, but let pride take no

Adorned and Adored

Adorned and Adored

Let us adorn 
   our daughters with pearls!
Gifting 
One pearl — so very dearly 
   ocean-made, fresh…
To dress each earlobe
With a radiant luster,
Emphasizing the spirited 
Life-light 
In her glinting,
   mesmerizing eyes…

Then, gather your heart
To proudly place a string 
Of one or some pearls 
Around your daughter’s
 

On the day of daughters

If in love to wife desire’s rife,
And to son there seems ambition,
To daughters, tranquil run waters. 

If she may outgrow father’s lap,
She always stays within heart’s map,
Distance may grow, gulf there’s, nor gap. 

A daughter is like a rainbow,
A lifelong source that gets to grow,
A spectrum’s widest range to draw.

Warmer is she than warmest wools,
Let

Plea for our daughters and sisters life

#Plea_for_our_daughters_and_sisters_lives

The mood in South Africa is now down, heavy dark cloud hangs over us all, not just clouds, but traumatized spirits of daughters and sisters, everywhere everyone
