The Almajeris (Ii)

Of them our rulers 
To the pauperised people.
Of a kingdom surrounded 
By millions of the  “Almajeris” .
Of looters in power up towers
Thinking not to leave forever.
Of the Northern cabals
With donkey years in power,
Of them with the stench of the “Almajeris”.

Of the Bush –Pig with the
Hyenas on the Rock
Of them the gluttons and the greed
Of them that devours our resources daily
Of them the Southern vultures
That condemns us into misery.
Of them that worn for millions
Toga of  millions of poverty . . “Almajeris”
Of them the Urchins who
Made us suffer amidst bounty.
 
Off them the Predator millionaires, 
We shall seize power for the millions
For the time to wrestle and dazzle
To yank off the toga of the “Almajeris” is now.

Premium Member Good Morning, Sep Tem Ber

Arising from bed this morning about half-past five, I was delighted once again to be greeted with a September morning.  A hearty good morning to you, my beloved September.  There are choice memories of you that I am compelled to consider.  Not only was I born on a noonday in September, but the birth of Autumn also appears on the 22nd of September. And like the memory of 30 years ago when I first heard a song with September in its title*.  I shall never forget the place and scenery when I heard the song. That song has become one of my favorites, and like you September, it's so refreshing and delightful each time I hear it.

The summer heat sometimes flows into you like an over-heated engine. Like today, in my area of the country, it's going to be 111 degrees. Nevertheless, there is still this mindset focused and filled with ''goodbyes'' to the century-plus temperature days and ''hello's" to Fahrenheit numbers on the downside.

My sweet September, I like to feel the gentle and tender roll of your name across my lips: Sep  tem  ber.  And I love the soothing sounds of Sep  tem  ber flowing into my ears.  You are like a bridge connecting two extremes.  You bring the season of Autumn to separate 'heat from cold'.

I hasten to add that we have a dear friend named June who is most delightful and kind.  There is no denying that July is a beautiful word. And what's not to like about a name like August?  I suspect that the three summer months provide more sunshine and light up our world more than any other.  But it's you, September, that I most adore; and I truly love you more.

 “In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous.“ Aristotle 



                                Birds 
                             arouse
                         sweet cadence.
                     They soar and glide 
                  in vivid feather.
               Their mellow chirps infuse
            a mint green orchard setting.
         As that robin, grey cheek, blue tweet,
     or an nightingale’s unearthly chant,    
   those silver throated ushers are a boon.

Premium Member Sea Salt

I am the salt of the dearth

tease your taste buds and

drape sweat for discomfort


You need not know how

I came to be in the ocean

not have to walk on water

but why wait for the Ark

instead start walking today

be a mariner in the desert

zest and spice lie in the path


Shed one more weeping tear

express anger fear and thirst

inhale perspire gather yourself

lick your wounds and salve them

for Aloe grows well in the desert


The passage of time and effort

corrects soil and bears flowers

once you accept dehydration

shape exhaustion into crystals

build memories and momentum

reach the source of your spring

float when rock bottom ceases


The river bed expects no less

than your impermanent stride

the shore line patiently points

to an anchor life buoy and chart

scratched into your inner compass


If life gives you plentiful salt

do not sugar coat your palate

savour the tasty flavour instead

take what is on offer just now

and fend off the gloomy despair

Premium Member Oh, Canada

This soul rises in wings today,
Watching live from Ottawa~
The 22nd Annual National March
for Life.
Your National Anthem so lovely,
Your land, so blessed and beautiful.
Since 1969, four million babies
never got a chance to be a poet or
be one of your outstanding hockey
players.

This made me think, if every member
here had been aborted...
Oh, what a horrible thought,it chills
me to the core.
The deep, the beautiful poets here.
Would never have had a chance to
sing life's melodious song.

Oh, Canada.!

God bless your beautiful people
Standing in front of Parliament,
Defending life!

Merci Beaucop,
Panagiota

Premium Member William Lewis, 22nd Century Explorer

William Lewis woke up one day to see 
a jungle, frightening and dark,
not knowing how he had arrived there
or which way he should embark.

He heard the stirrings of strange creatures
in every cranny and nook. 
There was fear, violence, and aggression 
in all directions his eyes took.  

In trepidation, he wondered, "where am I?",
as he got ready for a fight.
"Is this another planet, or is this Hell?" 
he asked and slogged the bitter night". 

Just then, he was interrupted by a voice
that informed William as it spoke,
"Your free trial has been completed. 
It's time that you awoke."

Upon hearing this, he remembered 
he had signed up to see,
given it was the year 2125,
"How is the new virtual reality?"

The legal team and marketers decided,
based on this beta trial,
a warning label must be attached
stating the risk of experiences, vile.

We search through the contents of your brain
and take what we can find, 
WARNING: THE WORLD THAT YOU WILL LIVE IN,  
IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR MIND.

Journal Entry

Fireball rise red lazer ray has spear horizontal
Sending a shedding of angel wing span blessing
Busied birds converse beneath apricot mottle
From dawn huddle, welcome warmth suggesting

Splendour awaiting, drive Wednesday to Pacific
Three beach night stays after so long, a year's wait 
Travel to shore infinite, lapped sand map terrific 
Coinciding coastal followed day, I'll turn thirty eight

Egg fried ocean, toastily popped tomorrow's coast 
Simmering indigo pot turns turquoise shimmer 
Crash marvel intensified if today I'm able to boast
Comp entered in June has judged mine a winner 

Whilst very unlikely my little poem will number
Against names recognised, English professors
Threw my lines in the mix so regret slid asunder
In the year of realising poetry's divine pleasures

The Almajeris (I)

Of the age of one to thirteen
Young, untapped kids
Of the team of 53 beggars in "Kaduna"
Fresh, unripe fruits
Of multiple-colours of plates at hand 
Vivacious, veil children.

Of a song of sorrow to beg for food 
Haggard –looking dirty issues
Of  no means of livelihood . . survival
Wretched beholding green horns
Of kids known only to hunger . . .penury
Poverty-stricken children

Of  brood with no shirt . . . shelter
Alms-begging unsullied progeny
Of our future seeds garbed in gloom
Destitute-turned juvenile
Of them hoodwinked with religious slate
Miserable-infantile, no scroll to read . . write .
They are the “Almajeris” of this land.
