Witches, wizards and an alien thing
with tentacles and one huge eye
Flourishing a laser gun shouting "Die".

here not to neglect
A humble stranger in
our land.
We kiss...

Christmas was over  
the cold winter winds
blew and blew
the sadness grew.

Mother had passed
A time dreaded for 
ever so long.
I tried ever so hard

where she once gathered

The tears of the street miseries, and the hunger
For their sleek laughs which hang...

A breath of fresh air

But giver of warmth and light – 
Fire’s dual perspective

Deadly fissures of division ... tolerance of others’ 
different faith gathering space
is divided by hate

Every chicken wants to crow before they grow.
Our boys are hunters and our girls flaunters. 
The future is forgotten and backwardness begotten. 
Our fathers are scavengers and our youths...
