"The unwavering human desire for perpetuity"
--by poet--
Hunger For Life
Desperation reason with destiny to depose inevitability and find utopian coast
Longevity is not an impervious spiritual armor weakened by an invasive ghost
Inculcated within thoughts are prognostications of inexorable advancing years
Endeavors defying the rules of gravity regrettably culminate in shedding tears
Polar winds menace leaves steadfastly clinging on as tainted skies appear dim
Beyond freezing horizons anonymous newly departed faces wander in tandem
Grey whales returned and blizzards withdrew except old towns are in disarray
Hunger for life contesting dreadfulness anticipate the dissolution of a blue day

THE NEW GOD (COVID-19)
In the land of lightness
Emerges the world with dreams
Where the world worship their God
Living in fear and abject poverty
In the land of lightness
The Malaikahs watch with ease
As man embarks on vanity
With challenges of different kinds
In the land of lightness
The dreadfulness of pandemic controls the world
HIV/AIDS, EBOLA VIRUS, LASA FEVER,
Became gods.
In the land of lightness
Covid-19 is now the God of gods to man
Arresting the world like criminals
Sending people to the journey of no return
Aborting dreams of man
In the land of lightness
Where the gallant soldier now controls the world
Making the earth disastrous
Who knows what comes next?
Almighty Father !
Forgive us our sins
Shower your blessing like rain
Live to give. Death is inevitable, life is very short. Corona virus is real. Stay safe.

I dare to dream!
With all the horrors in the world,
The hatred there has been,
Where tolerance is very rare,
Still I dare to dream!
A common cause, a joining hands,
A sharing I have seen,
When man will love his fellow man,
Because I dare to dream!
Shock, revulsion, dreadfulness,
Evils yet unseen,
A river of tears still to flow,
And still I dare to dream!
Togetherness will win the day,
Bring an end to the selfish scheme,
Man, once lost, will find a way,
When the many dare to dream!

Believing prevarications, from you, confined,
taking the route to the open lands, so blind,
unsighted within alternative techniques,
you and me in contact, two afflicted, combined,
they always expressed the truth, we were unique.
Uncanny combination, circumstance affairs,
me acting out of regret, you acting debonair,
answers left more questions, interrogation,
believing actions set in motion, not repaired,
I'm caught between two worlds, interpolation.
Made your bed, now I sleep in deep ruefulness,
no more direction, our existence unfruitfulness,
characteristics, weak, broken mirrors bring trouble,
I wake up in morbid decay full of dreadfulness,
your excuses full of lunacy and forceful rebuttal.

One brilliant tranquil day, around a turquoise lake,
Autumn had come in and brightly painted
so prettily the branches of the trees.
Overhead the gulls serenely soared.
Below them, water shimmered -softly rippled. . .
I thought how this was how the world should ever be -
beautiful and radiant, sorrow-free.
All of a sudden came a shift.
A strong wind swept the scene; all was transformed.
Fall’s vibrant colors shimmied,
till released, they spread asunder.
Small ripples changed to waves,
which angrily were lashing at the shore.
The seagull’s laughing cries had disappeared.
And streaming rays of sunlight had
become absorbed by darkness . . .
a dreariness and dreadfulness and cold.
In the reflection of the shadows,
I found my flimsy jacket, flung it on,
and clasped it close to me - then even closer.
Wishing that all mankind could find illumination,
I forlornly contemplated that this
was how the whole world would come to be,
and sooner than we know. . .would so remain.

We the off-springs of deserts
Rules by decades of fears
With our fists and guts
Shackled by servitude
Our minds corrupted by monarchies
Fooled and pulled by tyrants
Today, we ooze our blood for fraternity
Painting our deserts with tears
Saying no to insanity
In the corridors of their bullets,
We bully the bulls' bullets
With a speck of grit
We greet
Dreadfulness and death
With determinations
For the sake of children we shall
Bleed to death, than have them in power
Tell Africa, it is Arab Spring.

As my tripping footsteps
enter deeper into the path of intense darkness,
I start feeling the trance of trepidation
and much despised misery
seaps through me with a sense of admonition;
the night owls cold eyes immovably glare
to confine me into their scary stare...
until I dash off rapidly!
Sunrise,come quickly
to subdue my forethoughts of dreadfulness
into this night without stars!
I look up to a dark and unwinkling Universe...
exposing me to an enormous unrest:
will it be a deluge or a tempest
to end all traquillity?
Whatever threatens me invisibly,
or compels me to fret...
won't cause my courage to lessen:
contrarily, it will increase it even more...
'till I find another path;
its a risk worth-taking to befuddle any enemy!
Sunrise,come quickly
to bring radiance and harmonious sounds
over this tempestous sea,
which keeps away all the discontented gulls;
sunrise, come quickly...
my entrapped spirit longs for liberty!
