No Hate is Certainly Working

I was glad to escape the school run by demon spawn 
thrilled to extricate myself from this hell-hole
disengage from a hateful situation
distangle myself from the mess they call normal
I am pretty sure the students feel the same way
Their “no hate” campaign is working.
Brain research shows that if you say “don’t climb that tree”
a person must picture themselves climbing the tree
before they can visualize not climbing the tree.”
No hate is certainly working.
I limped out of there in a listless spiritless way.
Unable to save anyone but myself.

They Gathered Outside My House

Unlike the model T Ford
They come in both black and brown
And also unlike model T
It’s brown that is getting me down 

But what I refer to is no early car
And it isn’t a cute little mouse
It’s whopping great rats and they frightened my cats
As they gathered outside my house

I’ve baited the snap traps with chocolate and cheese
And, boy, are those rats hard to please
I’ve even tried peanuts and freshly popped peas
And tuna was barely a tease

They’re climbing my bird table like they’re on speed
And wolfing down copious volumes of seed 
They extricate bait out of all of the traps
I’ll catch one tomorrow… perhaps… perhaps

Those hideous creatures are still in my yard
Should catching some rats ever be quite this hard 
I’m halfway doolally from rodent war-games
And totally bonkers… for giving them names.

Swan Song

This aint my first rodeo
I have known horse refuse before

Not thoughtful enough or thorough I thought
Well thats what boots are for

Emblazened on my personal crest
familial coat of arms

I will haul me from this arena
be my self appointed gendarme

Prison would be an upgrade to
held fast with invisable bar

set myself free fly the coop
If I have to sleep in a car

Or any of the myriad excuses for
the cowardice that holds me fast

I simply must be my own champion
I see this now at last
 
No one is coming to extricate
they will not send in the clown

For front and center he holds the stage
as I look for him all around

I pray to never give up on me
And never be given up on

Off this sawdust littered ground
this phoenix will soar like a swan.

Requiring more room for take off
But thereafter soon from sight

The powerful strength and span of its wings
Climbing boldly through this night

Pressed Flowers

You come back
with your mind
full of treasures.
Today, there was a leaf 
plucked from a tree still coated
in whispers, a shard of sunlight
and a bird call you managed
to extricate from the sticky
strands of a banksia.

Yesterday there were
shadows rolled up 
like rubber matts,
a butterfly wing
and the crystallized tears 
of a child who was weeping
for the moon.

What will they do
with the pickings
you've piled up over years.
Will they empty 
all the boxes
and throw away the dried
remnants of a life
kept between the pages
like pressed flowers.
And who will return 
the tears shed 
for the moon.

Expecting Ingratitude Is Fortitude

Do not be a damn fool
Helping all just like that
Please change your rule
Then, joy you can get

None bothers about you
As all are self-centered
None will offer any rescue
Mainly greed has entered

You may move a big mountain
Or cross all the seven oceans
Still may criticize your captain
Showing badly bitter emotions

The best remedy, you will show
To extricate your whole group
This help, all may come to know
Still may arrange for your coup

Your mother alone will love ever
Like a perennial pleasant spring
She only will ever be a believer
As to you peace that may bring

So please take my word dear
Help all, but expect nothing
Preserve your own cheer
And be your own great King.

Kariba

One sunny day, two big animals are walking in the field.  The first animal said, "Do you see what I see?"

"What?... Where?!" replied the second animal.

"There are three small animals stuck in the soft soil.  Let's help them!"

The second animal said, "They are humans.  They are the same ones whipping us in the previous days.  Why do you want to help them?"

The first animal whispered, "This is the only way I find so they can treat us better."

The two big animals approached the three kids, extending their snouts, but the children can't reach them.  The two big animals stepped on the soft soil and used their bodies to help the children extricate from the mud.  The children were saved and left the field.

On the same day, rains poured on the field.  The two big animals weighing 10,000 pounds each were left in the mud, struggling for three days.

On the fourth day, the children went back to the field and were shocked seeing the two elephants still in the mud.  They called their parents for help and their parents called Kariba.

King and She

The king announced he might abdicate,
but first his enemies he would castigate.
He thought slowly and did concentrate
before he sought them to intimidate.

His comely wife he did adulate.
He did not wish to deprecate
her reputation so he did hesitate,
himself or her, to incriminate.

She had no thought to duplicate,
no desire at all to replicate
and he was willing to extricate
himself from the desire to procreate.

His enemies ready to infiltrate,
he sought the wisdom to meditate
on how he might obdurate
and keep his kingdom inviolate.

Forgiveness Still Prevail

No one repented for what they did to you.
You've been unhappy since that day.
As you're well aware, this is a major outdo.
Extricate yourself and admit their reply anyway.

They stranded, estimating you'll fall down.
This claimed partner just pawed you as prey.
Still, hate and gall won't let you go around.
Allow yourself to wane and accept him anyway. 

You feel ashamed when you look in the mirror.
You estimate your errors, nearly every day.
The pathway of living will indeed be clearer.
Even if you don't cause the fractures anyway.

Extricate Strings

For soap, he had headed to store,
With Hope, to wash away his yore.
A little bleep was all he needs,
He took hot tea to soothe his sore. 

Potter's hands were rebuff, he heeds,
From dealing with such rough clay beads.
He chose to dismiss their skilled palm,
He'd had much of the pain and seeds.

He was the one with the alarm,
Onetime cold and then by love, warm.
Life is held in with tangled thread,
He pull and shook till overwhelm.

Wisdom couldn't follow the pot core,
With fate and death, tied to his cord.

Family Or Solitude

Family,
Burden or Relief?
Love or hate?
Share or split?
Choice is ours to create the
Bond, or extricate?

Solitude,
Escape or accept?
Joy or pain?
Hope or fear?
Choice is yours to ensure the
Concord, or discord?

Life, deeply
Unfurls the pure truth
Of combat
Within us,
Choice either to, win or lose,
Or walk towards love.

Love In a Lifetime

This sticks to my core, hitting all the good parts in me linking my soul with yours for eternity 

This core never moves from its theme with an unpredictable character of drama and edge like fresh flowers 

This is neither drama nor romance but a talent quite weak to extricate of my innocence, giving me both suspense and an element of surprise 

In the center of our universe we dived in wholeheartedly deepening our touches equalizing infinity and love for death can never divide us nor rob us of moments 

This is a love story not focused yet well written as a lit fire igniting flames in places of a lifetime 

This is eyes gazing into passion. A world colliding going out of the way to please the gods before we 

This world is no closed chapters of hurt, laughter and pain but a place where compromise stand hand in hand with patience 


Poet 
Masego Nkuna

Abcdefg

Anticipating awesome antics, anteaters amend aliveness
Bumblebee beauties begrudgingly believing bouncy buttercups
Conniving clovers clandescently collect curious conversations
Diabolical devilish daffodils delight in damsel’s dainty dancing.
Enthusiastic elves effortlessly extricate eel’s elongated excitement
Ferociously friendly flora and fauna faeries forever frolicking,
Grousing glowing gargoyles grumble and gripe grievously

Obfuscation

(To be sung to the tune of “Alouette”)

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
When you muddle and confuse, then you simply cannot lose,
Complicate, obfuscate, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
Use a complicated word every time your voice is heard
Dazzle twits with your wits, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
Seven letters and above are the words the game’s made of
Show your knowledge learned in college, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
If your meaning’s understood, then the words are just no good,
Make it sound tres profound, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
You will sound like such a whiz if your word selection is
Unintell - igible, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
Postulate, exacerbate, extricate, pontificate,
Inundate, aggravate, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play

With Wider Eyes

In the pools, reflections , colours, gleam
Like watercolour paintings in a stream
Another world, a mirror to our lives
A way to extricate us from the cave

People have distinctive motions,shapes
When vision’s poor  the curve, the back, display
I recognise you not by face alone
But by the  pictures you make in the rain

Wandering down the avenues and lanes
The eyes are open wider, vision’s gain
The little muscles  slacken round our eyes
We see the broader images come by

Wandering   with no haste we see far more
Our inner eyes have opened like a door

People

People are not robots or tools to be taken for granted
But living beings touched by The Master to be treasured

People are not to be driven like cattle, used, abused, or
Manipulated, but to be honored, loved, and respected

People are not to be looked down upon, overlooked, or
Looked through, but looked up to at the same level as

We would like to be.  People are not things from which 
We extricate profits and execute gains, but valued and

Intelligent beings made in the highest of all images-God's.                        
God thought about us before birth with plan and purpose
