Rhetorical Poet

there is a war within the mind that we do not understand 
the esoteric knowledge that invokes every man 

the human being is more then physical flesh and bone 
because the body of the spirit is not it's eternal home 

the being of a human is mind, body and soul 
but the collective conscience connects each being as a whole 

we exude the energies within us that manipulate each thought 
as we accept the patterns of what the mind was taught 

but if there is a balance within God's creation 
how does one confirm thats its not manipulation?

for the forces that may be tend to be hidden from the eye 
as the mind compensates the truth for what we call a lie 

if there is evil in the world how do we know it exists?
is it only in the mind for the mind to resist?

or does this evil affect our spiritual and physical beings?
or do we intentionally forget until we believe what we are seeing?

knowledge may be creation but wisdom is the knowing 
creating a hand grenade is not the same as throwing 

there is a balance in life that many physically understand 
but to comprehend the spiritual balance one must reach into the heart of man 

Jesus spoke of love to help tip back the scale 
but many denied the word believing the truth to be a tale 

if this world was built on deception, secrecy and lies 
how do we repent the world if we do not open our eyes? 

how can man forgive the world for the laws it has transgressed?
unless man is faithfully willing to put his spirit to the test 

to know thyself is a gift from every collective mind 
as reality begins to drift into the vastness of father time 

the epox of self-awareness is the beginning of a spiritual endeavor 
as the journey of mortal legs walk into the land of forever 

the path that was laid before the man who can see but lives without sight 
was created to test his faith not his strength nor his might

Johnbull Years

When a young boy I was,

I equated ability with age;

The elderly must have, so I thought;

Age seemed to me all that counted;

I quested for the needful and the not,

Mama was a super being,

Papa was almighty god;

Their love for me helped my view,

As my wish daily came to be;

If I had asked for the sky,

I would have had stars and sun,

In my room like other toys.


When a young boy I was,

Papa was the richest that ever lived,

The strongest under the sky,

Stronger than lion and horse,

Bigger than law and rule;

Mama was the perfection,

One that could never wrong,

Standard for others to measure;

No woman was mother enough,

But she who often came to me

With cookie she freely gave.


Now my  central head is Sahara ,

Halt pity, I am not shortchanged;

My goatee compensates the glass afore;

Again ,I’m Johnbull’s able-dad,

The day I went to town with him,

Johnbull saw a cute Ferrari,

Daddy buy it,son decreed;

When have I become Ronaldo?

By the tallest building in Abu-Dhabi

Daddy buy it, son said sofort.


The day Klitschiko won a war,

And his name rent the air;

A voice in the crowd rang aloud:

Who can stand the iron man?

Johnbull’s spontaneous reply:

Daddy, daddy, my daddy can;

Hey!I looked at Johnbull’s daddy’s fist,

A good sight of mustard seed;

Next I checked out his daddy’s chest;

Bit broader than cricket’s thorax,

Could I be the thunderbolt ?

One and only Johnbull’s superman?


Then I remember my johnbull years,

Could this be kinder's trait,

That daddy is often a god ?

The Hate You Give

THE HATE YOU GIVE
By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa 

Shed a tear for the kids who never had a compassionate witness to all their pain
Caregivers quick to label them  dramatic or insane
Shed another tear for kids whose attempts to impress their guardians  were in vain
So they Decided to curl up and "stay in their lane" 

Without empathy and compassion can we be sensitive to the pain of others?
A strong message to the dismissive mothers and fathers
Nothing is more dangerous than a child that wonders:
"Do my parents even love me? "
"Why does everyone else seem to be above me? "


Thoughts that leave em broken and insecure
Dont ever be too busy to ask if they're okay until you're sure. 
Coz neglect pierces the spirit to very the core


And if you spot withdrawal
Keep the suspense of drug use at a minimal 
Do away with blaming outside influence
Rush to the rescue before they lose their innocence 

Approach swiftly but softly 
Be sincere and immerse yourself wholly 
In the struggles and pain of your child 
Know that to them their struggles are anything but mild
Listen actively without passing harsh judgments
Your words of comfort are never to be just cold statements 

Be tender and gentle
For your aim should be to mend and not dismantle 
In your presence your child should feel secure 
Smother them with unconditional love until their heart is no longer sore
With goodness in their heart They will once again be pure


Know that a parent can always do more 
To support, love and guide their kids as they grow 
For nothing compensates for consistent emotional support...

A Note To Myself

look in the mirror you prostitute

see what i see

you sleep with men for many reasons but none for love

you think it compensates for the pain

go ahead and spread your legs die more everyday

you mine as well be a hooker standing on the corner

you pass the time with strangers on your back 

saying its only sex what's the matter

go ahead and sniff another line it's only killing your brain

who cares if you burn a whole in your nose or get a blood clot

it makes you feel good till you have no more

here's a shot of hennessey never mind take the bottle

you are a big girl now you graduated to blacking out

the men you sleep with love it when your passed out 

you look so cheap and rugged when your drunk

here roll this bag of weed it'll blow your mind away

then jump in the car and drive until you pass out

you are a sad case of the human race when you live like you do

no educatuion no great job you live from check to check

it's time to get your life together and stop living wrong

go ahead and steal from that store again

prison has many cells waiting just for you

your friends and family have written you off

because your living wrong 

i am just here to point this out to you 

to hold your hand and keep you strong

i am you you are me we are a team we are unity

i am your best friend your only friend your worst enemy

like i said before look in the mirror and you will see me

you can do this for us


(for the "what you need to hear "poem)

Ode to Charlie Brown's Christmas

Our picture frame window
Is garlanded with evergreen limbs
Twined in white twinkling lights pinecones and fairy bells
And outside
From the dinner time dark that is a week before Christmas
Santa waves

Lit up like a little lantern

The hope for snow
Anymore
Any year
Has become as nostalgic as Perry Como
Singing from the static of AM radio

Golden retriever
Snuggles to my left
An arm rest

Our three-legged black cat
Asleep between my outstretched legs
Compensates
Dreams of a human leg attached to her empty hind joint

Cozies closer
Meows as if she’s running and leaping

Proper

My wife
On the other couch
Dressed in a red Christmas sweater
Her face clear and elegant as a glass ornament
Carefully preserved to our tree’s highest branch

Perhaps swaying alone in the living room
To the furnace vent

Our orange and white cat
A travel pillow
Wrapped
To the back of her neck

I can hear her purring from way over here

“What a shame Charlie Brown has been stolen
From us all
By Apple TV.” I say

“At least we have the memory.” My wife suggests
“Remember his destitute tiny tree
Decorated by Snoopy Lucy Linus and all their friends?

“And then together
They serenaded the snow falling
With Hark the Herald Angels Sing?”

“Yes I remember so well
It’s ancient message
First released

“From the year of my birth.”


My Fat Aunt

An aunt of mine
cheerful and cherubic
 holds no grudge against anyone,
 altogether she  is a  noble soul.

 obese, extraordinarily 
 huge, short, blunt,  
  a  moving bag of flesh,

She walks, moves, 
squats, lies on the floor
 with ease. Alarmingly flexible!

She ties her hair  loosely 
  with a string of jasmine on
her kondai, wears  bright 
coloured sarees 

 design blouses  
 complete her  outfit 
 decks herself with 
 matching jewels

rubies go with red saree,
emeralds with green one. 
other pastel shades go 
with diamonds, precisely selected,

uneducated. in short naive 
aunt  leads a carefree life
living in the present 
never thinks of tomorrow. 


Her husband dotes on her
 while her children  grow . Dad 
brings them up by deploying  
trained  nannies  to look after,
  

 Two  fall  behind in discipline, 
she does not bother.
 it is not her custom to gossip, 
nor complain,

Her body does not pose  
an issue.   She does not mind other's 
 talk of her size and attitude, her
toothless smile compensates

 Her goodness glistens, her 
innocence  grants an unexpected 
loveliness, She  stands tall 
amongst her well read relations.

My Mind Turns Autumn, Again

My mind turns Autumn, 
again

And my thoughts undress from coherence 
I can sense that my scarlett feelings 
Are trying to escape?
I was reading stars from my tea-cup
today
but conversing with future tends to sadden me
Did I say:

My mind turns Autumn 
Again ?

I keep envisioning sunsets from past weeks 
back then the air liked to mutter a
peach-coloured scent and I
(watching the softly falling rain)
Muttered along

My mind turns Autumn
Again

I know I will walk those streets with a sense 
of this beauty being too much to comprehend 
I wrote a letter to a friend saying I missed 
a true connection but that such beauty 
Compensates ? (For that)

My mind turns Atumn, 
again

I'm afraid
That nothing can really mitigate this 
Sense

(ation)

I think I must paint
a bird who returns to his nest

(Like the birds in my head)

My mind becomes Autumn 
again

Joy of Aging

The world slows down.
That’s a good thing.
Priorities change, also good.
The rat race fades into memory.
It’s now time to appreciate things.
Let the next generation battle to climb the ladder,
keep their heads above water.
Time for walks with the dog, stoping to smell the flowers.
The body creaks where it didn’t before but the wisdom gain
more than compensates.
Reading and learning still much fun.
Smile at the young ones as they expound, knowing
time and experience mellow their sound.
Enjoy the children, appreciate the miracle, then smile when handing them back.
Reflective walks in the woods wondering what other paths you could have followed. Then realizing though, the one you chose lead you into the woods.
As time passes on and the young ones grow old, it’s important to remember, we had our time, our time in the sun.
Prepare to move on, our time is now done.

Premium Member The Time In Between Seasons

time between seasons passes slow

Impatient we are as leaf buds grow
Carefree summer takes her time
A sudden chill - unwanted snow 
As  slowly the sun begins to climb

time between seasons passes slow

Crocuses bloom announcing Snowdrops
Daffodils come as a sudden  surprise
Azaleas flower as bright as lollipops
Forsythias glow like a golden sunrise

time between seasons passes slow
 
Idle leaves deepen in rustic tones
Sun fires the chameleon call of fall
Scent of smoke - autumn chill condones
All is golden to enthrall

time between seasons passes slow

No longer remote winter blasts its way
Its beauty - snow on coal dark wood 
Compensates for days of gray
As if somehow it could make good.

time between seasons passes slow



the time between the seasons
