Long Defeatist Poems

Where does the country go from here?
There’s still remnants of anger, dejection and sadness
Continuing to ponder this mental madness
Our identity of blackness is about to come to the brink
As we ponder the negative results, just...

FEEL AFRICA

Silence!
Silence Africa!
One can hardly get Africa to be silent;
Africa habours a pulsating bubble.
Everyone in Africa bounces to rhythm resilient.

Africa, like Zambia, or
Zambia, like Africa;
Dear ones, whichever comes first
Swells with energy in the sun!

You see...

The deep and sonorous voice of
his defeatist self-talk was paternal,
and torturous, 
reinforcing the force fed message,
"There is no happiness,
only gradients of misery,"
leaving him indifferent to the present,
careless of the future.

Reared in the shadows of perfection,
parental...

Abort me not
What's the thought was I was brought 
Electrified turbulent sequences 
Triggers action imaginative 
Visionary dreams of scheme 
Abort me not
A way of things I am bothered electrified a promise 
Attilating spark a due...

I gave up on winning my mothers approval because I never received it,

I sent you away from me to look for our beloved.
I watched you fade in the distant as you walked down the dusty foot-path towards town.
My dull brain craves the lost opportunity to prevail...

more lethal going in for the kill,

lifeless, but the sun keeps on shining

As touch-me-not shrinks of threats, fear, to our mind, warning brings,
Fear is not always defeatist; it has prophetic rings;
Fear has been, from ancient past, part of human unfolding,
Has been functioning, in mortal growth, like strong...

When I Google you,
I recognize the struggles and muggles you face,
I recognize the brutalities and the scars from decades of suppression and oppression which you endure;
The broken promises, failings and shortfalls;

His attitudes defeatist, His posture is defense;
He longs to be accepted;
But He stays behind a fence.
   He dodges speeding bullets, He often rides the blinds
   He hides behind simplicity;

At Last

Old thoughts in my mind
Found it hard to be kind
Undeserving, unnerving
Unwilling to unwind

So positivity blind,
To myself unkind
Defeatist, hedonist
True pleasure find

Full of resignation
Obsessive, compulsive
Unsure of destination

Questioning my commitment
Thought I’d be committed
Irrational, delusional
Suicide attempt...

Hesitantly

and not instigating. Accusations fly 
In the blink of an eye, they have no

Down in sorrow a fraction of me 
A ice burning tea .
