Justice ,denied

With bloody hands, rusty hair and a dammed soul
I walked out ,stepping on the rotten meat 
As my lungs struggled to breathe down the fragrance of the crime that I had committed
Blue and white lights flashed my eyes 
And a bullet pierced through my cranium
Punishing me for the crimes I had not committed, 
My lips

What Eyes Denied

Eyes closed in protest—
tears blurred the leaving moment
I dared not witness.

Premium MemberGranted yet denied

Spirit remains young though body ages,
heart harbouring desire for a rebirth,
bringing back next time wisdom of sages,
that blissful and joyful be time on earth,
where presence is always bubbling in mirth.
Refrains replay with memory erased,
with each immersion leaving soul amazed.

Not knowing

Is the seeming 

Engine behind

Science and any

Getting ahead..

Yet the engine

And successes

Are appearances of

Not knowing...

Diluted Destiny Denied

plans fall through
surprises around the corner
a random rendezvous 
mirage moment mourner 

diluted destiny denied
but disappointment dissipates 
when you realize—

it's all fate.

expressing a spectrum of light
ushering within bliss delight
instead of letting rapture grow
our lower mind impedes the flow
fragmented thought, not boon but blight

Premium MemberPassword Denied

I woke up and forgot my password.
Everything seems back-assword.
It must be somewhere, but mislaid,
among a paper mountain, I'm afraid.
Something's really weird and strange.
Has my brain been rearranged?
As this odd feeling lingers,
I can't even feel my fingers,
and while my digits seem fat and numb,
they won't even oppose my thumb.
My vision's blurry and I feel weak.
When I

Weight of Wanderlust

©Dr. Jamuel Yaw Asare 
(Dreams Deferred, Destinations Denied)


Passports once filled with hope and dreams, now gather dust and tears.

The allure of distant lands and new horizons beckoned,
But the harsh realities of a world not made for us awaited

Visas denied, borders closed, and doors slammed shut.

The fortunate few who made it out faced storms and rough

Denied Access


At eleven I just wanted to say goodbye.
I was tired…
Tired of living what felt like a lie.
I put on a smile when deep down I was broken, 
Just so that you wouldn't see the darkness..
That had been spoken.

At thirteen I had a dream…
A dream to stay where I was and graduate…
Graduate with my friends who

                     Second Assasination Attempt
 
In September’s blessed grass, like a slimy snake, you crawled.
To murder a beloved President, your worthless body, sprawled.

The weapon you hugged, just drooling to end an American hero’s life.
Never once thinking,

Premium MemberJUSTICE DELAYED, JUSTICE DENIED

"Justice Delayed, Justice Denied"

Yet again, Blacks are being showcased on front street
Continuing to be abused and disrespected
As, I reflect on my understanding of the Justice system
It's clear to me that Justice is never blind, but unfair
One may say that the culprit is racism
However, the sensible thought, is pure skepticism
Reasonable fairness in the law is missing

  The wind denied the sun
     a gift, to caress soft cheeks... 

  Unwelcome gusts stiffened up their gaits, 
     through fearsome clouds sun no more peeked

On your account.

Taught.
Ordered toys and naughty
Thangs.
