freedom day 
(april the 27th 1994)


far too many brave compatriots died

and

flooding rivers of tears were cried

far too many families ripped apart

the pain is felt still deep today
on this glorious sun-splashed South...

I have a friend with no bound’ries, no corners,
Preferring to just sleep around,
If he should vanish, I know where I’ll find him,
For sure, a new girlfiend he’s found.

As a lover, I know, he is quite...

There was a giant sale last Saturday.
An unbelievable one!
Such  civilization: how far we’ve come,
Many came to partake from all walks of life.

What a deal; what a steal.
That store it seems, in real estate, is...

Because I can feel their heartbreaks
They are the best...

I believe there are still honest politicians
Who try to do their best for our country,
While others, out of grandiose ambitions
Couldn’t give a fig, to put it rather bluntly.
Some fashion laws to benefit constituents,
Others pad their...

feeble ability to thwart 

     "discoverers" rapine wicked onslaught

Let me bring it to your attention and surprise
Of the foolish things purported to be wise
Lofty language and personalities are their guise
A hope seller's haven of clout and enterprise
Claiming sureness of the fate of a...

 What colour, does one think a soul,
 its fire our lives do need;
 purpose of it questionable,
 perhaps flesh, is shell for it's seed;
 determines in scope our natures',

Teeth clutched in furious fists,
Miles high above the mists,
Eyes thrust on identity’s this,
A smile wandering far amiss.

So this is the face of a simile,
Resting peacefully in eternity,
Here’s a figure of stoic rectitude,
Reflecting over mass ineptitude.

God designed marriage as the real thing!
Anything less, is what a counterfeit brings!

His concept of one man and woman is very real.
He’s not interested in bowing to “man’s appeal.”

His court of justice rings very loud...

In a world of confusion 
Sitting here musing
Advanced as we are 
Have we gone to far
What ever you need to know 
Your knowledge you wish to grow
Look at your phone it will show
The time of...

Going for lunch at the downstairs restaurant 
the staff was busy and had no time to greet us 
the food we had ordered beforehand arrive an hour late
I had a glass...

My birthright are the emerald islands in the sparkling
Waters of the Pacific Ocean,
With the beckoning sun, the cresting waves, and the jeweled sands,
A paradise in the lore of sailors far and wide,
A land of aloha...

To wear hijab and be free from all conundrum of life...

Last nights mascara’s tears run into a smeared lipstick...

Don’t speak to me with that mouth
That deceitful mouth
Which lies while smiling to my face
 
Don’t speak through your weak mouth
Too weak to resist temptation
Whose lips kiss in unforgivable betrayal

Don’t speak to me with that...

your love was pure
pure like fire
ephemeral and fleeting
and bore a desire

now lost and broken
contemptuous of what's cheapened

like daydreams 

my love was craven
