The Curse of Our Common Master - Gravity

Master - gravity
I’ve spent my life pushing against its pull.
I’ve surrendered my body on the altar of its will.
My god has rewarded me for both my pushing and my surrender.
My body is weak and damaged, but my spirit is strong and free.

My god is one true god, the god of us all.
From it life has its rise and fall.
Our god is most benevolent and equitable.
Fight and resist as we may, we all obey its rule.
Master - gravity

Die not

Joy mixed with bitterness
Hope laced with scoops of mud
This journey unseen
On the way to the holy matrimony
Love is blind
So they said without holding back
Till reality set itself to their face.

"Iwalewa", golden a watchword in our clan.
Imprison it. It will free it itself.
Get along and the signs are mere.
He's a cheat, woman beater, lazy and what you can see. . .

Oh let me breathe!
Shut it up.
My ears ache.
You've made your lashes and acquiescence
Enslaved your equitable rights
You need not cry
Fighting is never the best
With faith hold to fate.

You like to quit? Do!
Pick up your pieces and refresh.
It's a green start. But not your stars too thank too early.
Something different or similar to come.
All pretend to get results
And thereafter let loose of self.

Die not in depression
Die not in the hand of a demon
You have the right to Life
Please live it to the fullest - and not as the foolest.

A Landscape of Her Own

After the funeral,
the town changed its street maps,
old houses were relocated. new shops opened
in long emptied malls.

They had never shared their likes or interests,
they had not even shared an equitable life;
now she understood the changing landscape.

Before his death, the town was seen
through his own lens only;
he was ever determined
to shape her view, make her see things his way.

After this post-mortem revelation,
She recalibrated her car’s GPS:
It takes her now
to the as yet
unseen.

A Wild, Useless Ride

My anger has a limit, when I expense my valued time. I mean, appointments were made & confirmed, then upon arrival, cancelled...with little reason or rhyme.
          Now my effort taken wasn't simple, as it involved a complex route. Such 
          as a bus, the train, & then some dense urban forest along this lengthy
          commute.
                        You might imagine my frustration, when on arrival, I'm told 
                        they can't help. As they chalk it up to a computer error, so
                        what can I do, go complain on Yelp.
          Now of course first, I must reverse my trip, through the urban jungle,
          to the train and finally the bus. While I search for some kind of remedy,
          where I can scream & shout, and probably cuss.
I know eventually I'll calm down, and try to find some equitable recourse. Such
that my time and effort aren't forgotten, and I won't have to call in the big guns
and airforce.

Equal Rights and Justice

We all deserve to be treated fairly
No matter our race, gender or class
We must fight for equality and justice
To make sure it never does pass

Let us stand together in unity
To ensure that all people are free
To live their lives in harmony
And to reach their full potential, you see

We must strive to be equitable
To ensure that everyone has a voice
And that our differences are celebrated
And that all can make their own choice

Let us work together for justice
To establish a world of peace and love
Where everyone is respected equally
And all can reach for the stars above.

An Equitable Assassin Trying To Be Nice

"An Equitable Assassin Trying to be Nice" 


...he 

slides the coldies 
across the table,
the beer, American

not as sharp, 
but slides down 
quick, smoothly

clean 
cold
crisp

he thinks,
lips ripe
for kissing

the prints warm
the motive missing
somewhere lost in the hallelujahs

Jacob’s Ladder 
crawling with 
footprints

hands, fingers  
and lips
all over glass walls

Snow White
doesn’t sleep 
at all, but ...

cool as a block of ice,
history melting
all over the place

a cold case 
trying to be tidy
trying to be nice

an equitable
assassin 
out of place

trying to be nice
cool as a block of ice
history melting


(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Justice- Just Us

Justice
Just Us
What just us
We of colored race, what's up
 Variance of  browns shaded skins
Overly concentrated in melanin;
Just us!
Of African descent and other dark places beings;
Just us!
Those of you are of bad consciousness;
Where's ya?
Justice!
Hate the haters;
White Supremacists;
Just us!
We did it have to say so ever such
Father where the Justice
Is it just?
Not me...
Open my eyes, my heart so can see?
Am I just?
In behavior and treatment;
Am I qualified just;
Righteous!
Equitable moral upholding;
Lawfulness this I'm believing am I being been fair;
In the treatment of others of my fellow man;
What's just us just to show shout out in fairness?
Integrity honesty!
Am I Injustice or is it me?
Thinking it's only me;
Just us!
I'm just saying it's'
Just us!
All I'm needing;
is to pray not for man's birthday;
But Establishing the mercy's grace and freedoms;
In His justice !

After the Funeral

The town lost its street maps,
new plots of land appeared, houses were built
where just yesterday there had been none.
Her world seemed relocated,
changed, as if it had been redrawn.

They had not shared their likes or interests
they had not even shared an equitable life,
and at times had pawned and reclaimed each other,
negotiations and currency
always a part of an unwritten deal.

Now she understood how landscapes can change
minds see from their own windows
through different lenses.

She recalled with late regret
that each of them had not surrendered,
they coexisted in the same place
but a locality riddled with mirages,
scenes they mind-painted
with unseeing eyes.

War

War gives no gain but just pain.
War goddess is equitable be it with a soldier or civi'an.
Men with same limbs fighting with others of same sapien.
What they get is no rain
War gives no gain but just pain.

Devastating lives of others is really no gain but just pain.
War commences with anger, hatred and desire but ends just with pain.
The golden pot is emptied for no gain.
War gives no gain but just pain.

War will surely end with nothing left.
No men claiming for lan' 
but hundreds weeping for men.
It will end with no govt or country superior than other. 
But everyone will be the same offender.
War will end with hundreds of deformed damaged houses.
War will end with hundreds of weeping orphan children.
But will it really end?
War gives no gain but just pain.

Time Flies

Water, Oil
Minerals are
RESOURCES

Every 
RESOURCE 
is Limited

TIME
also is a
RESOURCE

TIME 
cannot be 
preserved 

TIME 
cannot be 
generated 

None can buy
TIME 
as no one sells 

TIME
eternally is on 
forward move 

Your TIME 
is no different
it's Limited 

Your options 
are use, misuse
optimise TIME

You alone 
are Master 
of your Time
Blame none 

Remember
Regret too 
consumes 
TIME

TIME 
is ruthless
no extra second
even in last breath

TIME
is indifferent 
no extension
in celebration 

TIME
is not sticky
keeps momentum
in gloom 

TIME
is Therapeutic 
heals any
as it passes by 

TIME
is equitable 
Same quantum 
available to all 

TIME 
defines you 
stop defying 
stop denying

TIME flies
you are pilot 
fly high with 
wings of TIME

Separable, Not Equitable

The difference between

    denotation and detonation

A World We Seek

“All minds and hearts connected with love and light of universal consciousness, in a flicker free continuum ~ what does life on such a planet look like?”
      -	Unseeking Seeker



Together as One,
One voice and one song,
One goal they pursue,
This heartedly they do,
A mission to accomplish.

None indulge in recrimination,
Turbulent waters abated,
War is not an option,
None is at loggerheads,
Crime does not lurk around.

Equitable distribution of resources,  
All stand on equal footing,
Benevolence is at the helm of affairs, 
The strong aid the weak,
The mighty prop the weary.

Fabrics interweaved into one colourful piece,
Cultures integrated and tolerated,
Hands in hands they push against the tide,
The table is set for all,
There’s room for everyone besides.

A world we dream of,
Speculative future we envisage,
Tomorrow’s cities beyond our view,
Their internal architecture, classic and ethereal, 
Rays of hope permeate the space.

A Worthy Cause

Freedom is unfettered living,
It is unrestricted access to
 life's pursuit and treasures,
It is an equitable distribution for all,
Fair judgement and open playground,
I’m not held bound,
I belong to myself,
I’m not afraid to talk,
My voice is my weapon,
The prison doors do not stand in wait, 
Nightfall does not scare me,
All stand on equal footing,  
No slave, no freeborn,
Fight or flight,
Freedom is a worthy cause,
Its aberrant, a shattered hope,
A light kept in obscurity.
