Juju Poems - Poems about Juju

Gumption

With a hitch in my get-along
which set me wrong
my get-up-and-go
is sadly misplaced
it done got up and went
cannot be traced
it's really too tragic
my mojo is spent
I need someone who
versed in voodoo
will weave their magic
do some hoodoo
come through with the juju
who'll hand me an amulet
give me a charm
which won't go amiss
so I draw no harm
with a little

Thinking About Juju

 
God or voodoo, I cannot decide 
Spiritual witch doctor, spellbinding inside 
Possibly made of stone or wood 
Resting on a rocky column 
On sacred ground you may of stood 
Horns on your head point east and west 
On one there is a face impressed 
Angel or Devil it is not clear 
A cone in

Juju

Some call me Majnun
Unpredictable Monsoon
When Eye Step In, Eye read the room
You don't know me, so don't assume
Enlightened Eye rise, Illuminated Eye bloom.

Bad Juju

harmful in a karmic way
best be careful what you say
cosmic sense of the perverse
held tongue keeps the fates at bay

Juju

vast is my world much larger is my heart
thanks to your sister, your brother, and you
I feel lifted, I am ready to start
what I hope and pray lasts an hour or two
you called this morning to insist I rise
my lovely child the middle one of three
sleep has gone, some lingering in my eyes
the care in

Back To Juju

BACK TO JUJU
                   
Tradition laments elegies of those
Who have perpetuated the thoughts that held
Me in the womb of darkness.
I want to adjust my rear-view mirror and focus.

I would like to be free to think my innate thoughts-

as i made sure today
that if the plane fall

so scare not to use my wings to do the flying
a first to me in twenty years

to meet people with their demands
of painted walls on landing

Juju

Totems are formed through a talisman tribal identity.
                         *
Talisman emblems to the tribal identity.
Totem to raise above the distinctiveness of foreign Indians.
Democracy is bureaucracy to their form in the Americas.

Good Juju

Reminders everywhere
The reason is good
This somehow seems bare

I certainly don't miss you
Presence of the relationship
A healthy one I must pursue

The absence of a human
After all this time
Being crazy is all I was doing

Chasing the wrong crowd
Can't spend life under a rainy cloud
Patience required to switch gears
Second person to make me face my biggest fear

I did,
Hard

Juju the Magical Whale

Step aside if you please, Dr. Seuss,
And you as well my dear Mother Goose!
It's my turn to write for little kids a silly tale,
About a magical whale and his little friend, Miss Abigail!

JuJu was his name and he was as big as a whaling ship!
He cruised about the sea with Miss Abigail reclining on his
