When my faith was unshakeable

The Lord proved
That I was remakeable

His love for me
Was simply not mistakeable

The Holy Spirit’s strength
Was totally unbreakable

IN THE DARKNESS OF IMPERIALISM

...I was born in a banana republic,
Between the carnivorous chains of Françafrique,
In an open-air dumpster,
Where tyranny, barbarity, and savagery speak with arrogance.
I am perfumed with all the n...

...The pen is mightier than the sword
The pen is the copyist of every word
Just don’t combine “pen is” as a paper headline once did report
And it might be mightier because it seeks pleasure and not w...

My Pencil's Waiting

...My pencil’s waiting patiently
To transfer what I think
Onto pages in my notebook
(More erasable than ink).

It follows my commands and yet
The words are then erased,

The Line

...There is a line drawn straight and true
By a pencil of fear
Its erasable 
Seems simple in context
But so difficult to write
In world so consumed by regret

Shapeless Pain

...1. Shapeless Pain

How I wish the mirror were a cinema screen,
Portraying that which makes up dreams and imagination.
How I wish it had filters to colour my skin,
For now I stare at what is far ...

...Her erasable brain has never let her down.
After information is used, it no longer hangs around.
She memorizes all kinds of junk for a weird math test.

The Lone Veteran

...Visions unendurable
Thoughts not erasable
Tracers of red
Running through my heard

Yellow smoke for the dust off
Brings tears
Death and destruction
Memories of loss

Haunting images

...Is there no place for us ? 
In this world of work and fuss ?
We came to fulfil our dreams
Leaving our noble motherland with goodbye tear streams 
We are prisoners of a dark dank cell called race

Replaceable Life

...Shivering as the winter cold 
Blows in as if an open door you hold
A child's life was sold 
To a new country he was told

That his old life was replaceable
Soon exposed to a mother's sin which ...

streams spoken gothic complexion
spiraling ether.  Trails taper
erratic, split imperfection;

I can't even comprehend it all
The number is fake
And I never met Jake
But that interpretational art has got my attention
I think there's something I fo...
