The Unknown Gunman

The gunman secures by his concealed identity  
shrouded in mystery, shadows lurking out of sight
kills, by order, greed, and convenience.
With blood-stained conscious 
Our land Sliding into anarchy, becoming a boiling cauldron
But where is the unknown gunman from?

Every time he showed up spending noisy hours, 
he left unscathed perhaps the cries of the victims 
couldn’t rouse the night watch men from their slumber, 
honestly, they must have been tired.  
After all our leaders only condemn such act 
and as good citizens we weren’t expecting more.

Our leaders tiptoe and mewed 
oh, the fear is potent. it’s a cold war but who’s after us?
Here, crimes can be control except that of the unknown gunmen 
Amid the deep smoke from his firearm
Many lives brought to their unexpected end, 
Maybe these gunmen are not truly unknown.

Since the impart of the state are rarely felt
the government remain unknown by most citizens 
probably they’re all unknown, 
the decimation of the night watch men is a flight into anarchy, 
once violence is allowed to sit, 
it cannot be ordered to leave.

while officials rehash old press releases 
with misguided rhetoric, daily doses of media reports 
on activities of the unknown gunmen are relentless.
With many federating units like the polygamous home of an African king,
justice, equity, and fair play should be central place
only then can we raise and dust ourselves to face the future which is now.


Premium Member Israel Vs Hamas

Could conditions terribly sad
Lead captives to do something bad
When a sheriff not cool
Won’t let compassion rule  
Do lifers in prison go mad?

Did structure that forms Gaza’s pen
Encourage the Hamas gunmen
And with vengeance hot
Will Israel’s king-sized swat  
Hurt civilians at risk again?

Do dollars the contractors reap 
For the deadly weapons not cheap
Make reprisals cease 
Or bring lasting peace
After Gaza ends in a heap?

Author's note: If a civilian dies as a result of a bomb dropped from a plane or one dies after being shot by a deranged soldier, is the outcome any different? While a huge opportunity exists for talking right now, will politicians just scramble to satisfy constituent anger? During an interview, the Israeli father of a kidnapped daughter pleaded for dialogue rather than more violence. Is empathy for this father and daughter possible?

Ghetto love

Ghetto love 
All we need is love 
All we need to share is peace 
All we live for is for happiness 
We don’t want no killers in our community 
Africa youth please be wise 
Tell the gun man to go home 
Drop all the colours of wars 
Burn down the flags of division 
There is no gain in wars 
Killing each other won’t get us no where 
So tell the gunmen to change their ways 
Our children needs their fathers alive 
Our girls needs their mother healthy and sound 
So stop the fires 
Safe the bullets of hatred and give love a chance in the ghetto 




Ghetto love 
There is no dignity 
When you slaughter your own brother 
There is no gain when you kill your own 
We can’t keep fighting for what exactly 
One man up another man down 
One man alive another man dead 
Is this all we can offer to our selves 
I ask you ghetto youth 
Are we this ignorant to the call of nature 
so again tell the gunmen to change their ways 
The time for change is now or never 
We need a safe world 
A world with out fears of dangers 
A world were we can call our own 
Please be good to one another 
I plead to you African ghetto youth 
Love yourselves leave the killings 
Safe your life’s from the dangers of losing your love ones 
We are the solution to our healing 
So let love flow from great to small 
Let love fellow from parent to their kids 
Let love flow from the strong to the weak 
Let love flow all over the ghetto streets
Let love flow from the leaders to it citizens 
All we need is love 
oh ghetto youth 
there is no other way
This is a call of peace

Child of Unknown Father

Before the birth of fatherless children
Life was good, the land was peaceful
To the field we went happily
Children knew and played with fathers
Peace died because war was awful
To unlivable areas women fled unhappily

Fathers taken as war hostages
Evils of sickness, hunger and thirst we endured
In our hideouts, the worst of evils was war rape
Unknown gunmen made us impregnated
Fatherless children we delivered
Children of mothers they are 

Community hates this for man decides
On him, mother and child depend
Wordless the mother is, and so the child becomes
Unhappily and unfreely the child grows
He cannot play with his unknown dad
So shame builds on him, as no father he has

We never decided to bear a child in impurity
Who will never be at harmony
And whose life and education are risky
For he is fatherless and family ignominy 
Ultimately, mother and child need basic rights 
For they both are victims of their innocence

GASTON GLOCK THE GUNSMITH GOES HOME

??????GASTON GLOCK THE GUNSMITH GOES HOME??????
 
Gaston Glock, the genius gunsmith,
The gun guy behind mysterious myth
And the groundbreaking Glock handgun,
Produced the glock gun but now gone.4

What a grand grandeur idea granulated.
Gaston Glock's genius granted 
Global gunmen gleaming & grinning.
Gaston Glock's gone yet gun's glocking.8

Glock's groundbreaking forever glocks,
Gifting us a great gift worth a million bucks.
He deftly designed the dependable gun,
As the dawn of gunning & ghostlighting begun.
But Glock's groundbreaking handgun
Became an instrument in the wrong hands.
Killers, dealers, smugglers & gun gangs
Gaining guts to gun down with the glocks.¹6

Gaston Glock's Guns, granting guardians
Great gallantry, and turning them into villians.
Gang guardians guard against grim gangs. 
Conversely, Glock's guns generate grief,
Granting gunmen gruesome glory relief.²¹

But Glock's genius glocks gave mankind defence
Against godforsaken gunmen & misdemeanours.
Gaston Glock's great gift gave guts
To pull the trigger when danger flickers,²5

Glock's gun became reliable defence, fair enough.
Gaston Glock gave a great gun gift that's tough.
At age 94, he passed away blazing glocks,
Leaving a legacy that'll last farther than all the nooks.²?


In memory of Gaston Glock, the founder and producer of the glock handgun. 
Rest In Peace ?????????

Premium Member Death In France

So shocking was that news from France,
we stared at TVs in a trance;
no way to understand.
Those young and old without a chance
were taken down in wide expanse.
Such horror had been planned.

Who could have then foreseen the fate
upon them cast by those who hate?
Just gathered there for fun,
not knowing that their deaths await
while music played and people ate,
their lives were over, done.

Who could have thought ahead that they -
that enemy that wants its way
to change our form of life,
would sacrifice their own to say
that their belief we must obey?
Misguided thoughts run rife.

That Paris scene that fretful night
prepares us now to face the fight.
Define this threat once more
that could erupt within our sight.
Entire world must join the fight
to face this crusade war.

"The  November 2015 Paris attacks  (sometimes referred to as  11/13) were a series of coordinated  terrorist attacks  that occurred on Friday 13 November 2015 in Paris, France, and the city's northern suburb, Saint-Denis. Beginning at 21:16  CET, three suicide bombers struck outside the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, during a football match. This was followed by several mass shootings, and a suicide bombing, at cafés and restaurants. Gunmen carried out another mass shooting and took hostages at a concert in the Bataclan theatre, leading to a stand-off with police. The attackers were shot or blew themselves up when police raided the theatre.
The attackers killed 130 people, including 89 at the Bataclan theatre.  Another 368 people were injured, 80–99 seriously. Seven of the attackers also died, while the authorities continued to search for accomplices. The attacks were the deadliest on France since World War II."  Wikipedia

You Have Got My Heart

The story has been told of how those brave souls wander in the desert drinking urine for water and having dust for their supper while journeying to America and somewhere in the East violence erupts in the street, and bullets grazing in the sky hitting strong men in their face and spilling blood all over the place. 

They scattered in many directions when the gunmen came along, their shoes fell off their feet and the gunmen hunt them like savage beast in the bushes. Some hid in trees with thistles and thorn pricking their feet, others crawl on their belly and hid under leaves in the gutters. They stifle every cough and sneeze and allow their breathing to evaporate with the breeze.  

Bullets explodes in the air hitting those in range and splitting couples apart, you could hear the screams and shouts and hungry bear walking about liking up the blood form the ground. The painful image came alive as I watch the planes maneuvering in the sky.  

The story has been told of two lovers that have never met, their hearts tangle with each other and a peculiar love that bond them together. They are like old soul that met decades ago in a concert hall packed with music lovers and memories line on stage rocking to the rhythm of the violin and the flute. 

 I can see the image right in front me and two lovers standing next to each other with a special smile that resonates from the heart. Two different races bind together as one yearning for each other and sacrifice made for one another. It is the same blood that runs in the vein, it is the same blood that drives the multitude insane; it is a passion that they would keep and kind of obsession that bind them so deep.  

"You have got my heart" and I will keep the memory of that bosom love that came together in the middle of the desert when everyone has deserted her, he came just in time and fell into her arms, “You have got my heart,” he said, “I will not leave you in the lion’s den, I will take you with me and we will be one happy family” 

 It is a smile that you could not deny and the passion that was wrapped up inside unfold when they met each other for the first time and he said once more “You have got my heart” and they embraced.

Imprisoned and The Want For Freedom


We Retreat and try so hard to be discreet

Denied Intelligence, we're considered inadequate 

and mistreated with violence

The King of our country promises  he will bring peace

Our School is taken away, we face much ridicule

With Strength we hope and pray for extra length to our life

Precious Princess in her ivory tower and ours aimless

Priced Gem all so shines, but we are condemned

Our Blessed souls, are torn from our bodies and branded

We Light and direct towards relieving others this plight

 Schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen - her "crime", to have spoken up for the right of girls to be educated. The world reacted in horror, but after weeks in intensive care Malala survived.
