Christ!
A warparty of 60 Shoshone warriors has just stampeded into the meadow
faces painted red and white for blood and death, all sorts of strange designs,
bows and arrows ready to fly on us, skull breaking cudgels...

That lives in the hearts of those,
Who still see value in keeping strong communities
Where good deeds are never spoken of,
As they are so woven into the fabric of daily life,

In Days of Robin Hood

In days of yore,
In days of Robin Hood,
A merry band of outlaws
Rambled throughout Sherwood forest
(Home of the Major Oak,
North of Windsor Castle,
And South of Hadrian’s Wall).

They dressed in Lincoln green,
And whistled...

My lantern giving just a little light
My thoughts as I walked, was I very late?
The time unimportant the year eighteen thirty-eight.

A scream I heard, from a...

We have evolved over the years
As a people with a way of life
We have learnt of a new way
To express our anger at every passing day.

They say you only die once,
But today you have an...

The soles of his feet were gnarled, cracked, calloused shreds of flesh
But tough in their stance as he sauntered and shuffled
On two broken knees that never mended, clicking but muffled
Walking like a misplaced puppet on...

Hello people I know
I know the people we are
the kind of people from here
passed out in a shack
with a butt and a beer
or outside in the road.
And the wind cries and drives

I woke up laughing 
It all got better from there
Something way down deep in me
Was asking to be declared 

So now I prepare 
If I don’t, somebody else 
Will make it to the punchline

Hurried meetings
Prying eyes
Many excuses
Umpteen lies
Tension and nervousness
Fear of being caught
Today wasted
Comfort in tomorrow sought
No place for those
With love smitten
Against social norms and laws
Both written and unwritten
Only solution, I say
Don’t run away
Take cudgels against
Oppressive society
Just like
Those...

Since Big Bantu lay bedridden
After being brutally beaten like the bembe drum
It seems his world is done.

Now lay helpless
In a forceful recess,
At the hands of the town mobs.

It has...

Corrosion of our country‘s values piques
our interest; cuddled minds with cudgels speak 
and bark, confused by all but tribal laws,
subconscious minds coddled with pride. The fall 
is sure to come, and the Great Seal —...

Society – me arse


Society, the straight jacket of “socially” acceptable mores,
condemning all to a “one size fits all living coffin.
Social “mores”, cultural cudgels of “independent thought”,
ballyhooing the wonders of our differences
until Society’s sycophancy rears its...

“Rise above it, be the bigger person.
No use fussing and cussing people anyway”
parents taught the stuttering boy night and day.
So he grew up placid and unperturbed
absorbing vitriol that came his way.
The teasing eventually sputtered but...
