Long Be permitted Poems

THE INNER CHAMBER

I stand here longing to slip underneath your decades of cold-rolled steel...

LIFE IS UNFAIR

Teach the children of tomorrow
For tomorrow holds more pains, 
Lie within the oasis of hatred for love is far.

Of flavoured words in my dying mouth,
Defend the...

"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house;
can you hear the whispering? "

So here I wake half an hour removed from betraying sleep
into a prison built like a home but the walls, they deceive
mimicking the duct taped windows
There's no fun, no joy to be permitted
boredom  arises...

and into his anointed King do make our boasts

For 15 years I have tolerated,
calculated, anticipated, sublimated workplace degradations, derisions,
subversions towards my character,

yes, my pride has become livid, swollen like a bad bruise on the heart
and I apologize not for my...

Remember, mummy…

Remember that I am a gift from God, the richest of all blessings;
Do not attempt to mould me in your image, or my dad’s, siblings, friends or neighbours; 
I am an individual and should...

Overwhelmed

Sometimes it feels like it will never be OK
It goes on and on and on
Darkness creeps in and you cannot see the light
Prayers seem to have fallen upon deafened ears
Does evil continue to win?
Destruction and...

Urgent Tea Party

Mrs. Jet sent out the invitations in a fever and a heat

Let the Melancholics delight at your beauty tonight.
From the bossom of ecstacy down to the purity of heart
You are indeed a ravine work of art

I am giving up on poets for
a day – not poetry! just needing a break 
from Communal Escapism: I mean, it is
nice to write of meadows and bird songs – 
of the past, how things...

I was daydreamin' the other day a-munchin' on my oats,
Gazin' across the pasture at the cows, sheep and goats.
Them fellers sure do live a life of ease as compared to me.

My size has become so small;
like a newborn child seven months premature, 
almost loosing his life to the cold chill that is a hospital room, 
to weak to cry to announce his name.

MAN TODAY,  DUST TOMORROW

Man is no diviner nor a god,
Why cast your burden on man?
Man today, dust tomorrow
Why trust in his abilities?

The earth belongs to no man,
Evil created by men are inrepairable
In the tattered...

In the future 
We won’t speak at all 
This will not be permitted 
Under law

Scenes now show 
Collars pulled up 
Heads leant into the wall 
No eye contact at all 
Those still with homes
Don’t go...

Forbidden Fruit

  The thought of you leaves me breathless,
but unable am I to see you,
or to caress you,
for as tainted fruit,
our bond is forbidden.

My heart has been sliced
into two pieces,
one still attached,
and the other
lost,...

Is it because you think...

And I like Solomon winced
Not because the end of everything is ash
Jimmy told us long ago
How it would end, anyhow 
The fire next time
Could only be lit

When darkness falls
When you find your freedoms 
Fantasy,
Don't say you didn't know.

The Tyrant told us all, for many years,
What he intends
And though he speaks mountains of lies 
Regarding specifics
His truth is absolute regarding his intentions.

In the future
To be permitted to work 
You will have to have a 

Chip insert  
Fitted under your skin 
So you can’t tamper with it

Which will monitor 
You night and day
In every way
