Long Idolised Poems

Something strange

and unexplainable comes this way,
this way, it comes to us sly and fast, 
some say, perhaps, 
it has already arrived, 
it walks unseen, in the midst of all, of us 

we go about our...

Once Upon a Time


I was able to see how everything connected
I used to believe in the power of love
I used to believe in something perfect

Back then every facet of creation was respected

I witnessed the flowing...

When the sh*t hits the fan and the plates hit the walls 
And Mummy’s voice screeches, “You ain’t got the balls”
The sound of wood splintering leaves kids with hunches
That once again Daddy ain’t pulling his...

Fallen heroes 
By Michelle Morris
02/10/2021 

It's so sad, the fallen heroes;
Those we once looked up to, so high;
From pedestals, they topple down
To the hell created storms... 

No use trying to justify 
Political gains and greed...

Laying in bed as sleep escapes me
Ignoring texts from my ex, someone please tell her she needs to replace me
Why do I still think about a dad that didn't even raise me? 
Depression had me...

Bright bubbles. Such twirling crystalized hue. In Smokey paper eating wrappers. And dwelling not on a letter. Swelling in importance. Self importance. Ok then play circle bubbles in a packed out front room. Pong is...

They cheered the great Fauci
and knelt before his unction -
praised and defended the man
who funded Gain of Function

They bowed to the great Fauci
and anointed him so pious -
crowned him and put in charge
of his own...

Not to be taken lightly, I burnt all my clothes 
Cut the tattoos off my back, tore pins from my nose 
Foraged for food particles, where wild beasts reposed
Lapped water vapour off thorns, when the...

If and when a boarding pass equals an educational equilibrium then equators could sing. But Tiburon turbulent tuning turrets can often be misplaced and therefore undetected by a radar which measures over the same distance...

You cant imagine what you've done to me,
The girl who once loved to love
Now doesnt love at all.
All my beliefs and dreams you've shattered 
Fairy tales and love? They dont even matter.
You dont know how...

You hate men

You don’t wanna exist anymore

Men are all about the rage

And you are just like them, just like them

C'mon hit that weak woman

And then say that you hate yourself

I love you and you loved...

(For late Mrs Stella Obasanjo)

You are a paragon of beauty
Yes, a maiden of honour
Your steps are held true
In limelight of media

Your translucent fair skin 
Held many an eye
Your strawberry-coloured lips
Captivated, salivated many hearts

An icon of...

The idiosyncrasies of a semi idolised biscuit is often symbolised by riotous clapping sessions. By camels who love to crunch. But a crunch is neither a cream, a crevasse, a cape nor is it a...

As was written, on Mount Sinai
As Moses stood on high, commandments of virtue
A shower of blessings, to bestow upon
As for the people, they adhered not
Unguided minds, an idolised calf of gold
Yet to unfold, in a...

Truth’s not just in the beauty of our trees
cherry blossom
it’s pervading bouquet 
the falling confetti 

Truth’s whatever hangs from the tree
like branches 
and fruit 
perhaps that lynched refugee

Truth’s also insidiously part of the tree
toxic leaves...

Desire to survive, dream to 
thrive,
Everybody needs appreciation,
And if so do I , what's wrong ? 

My parents adored me dear,to 
absolute,
Graced me with ideas, shaped 
my future,
I appreciate.

My siblings embraced me in 
emity,
Making me...

Alas! A pandemic on earth;
Spread over the earth like a counterpane
And feasts with no respect for personality.
Has the end come?

What manner of pandemic is this
That humiliated the world powers
And buried the head of idolised humans?
Has...

Revered, worshipped and idolised
For many a century past,
This model of faultless divinity
Continues to capture our hearts.


Clandestine, profound and bewitching
Epitome of pride and decorum, 
A splendid work of nature’s fine art
Enlightens our lives with its aura.

Enchanting...

flash forward to the rot
all perfection spoils in a myriad of ways
  a perishable item should not be idolised
nor allowed to take over a space

   for a moment though

Oh how we value artifice;
Indeed we'll bow and 'scrape'

Upon a stage of the falsest rage We hang; 
on every word and break

The props are  real to viewers 
the plots we know by heart

They’re lionized...

When he died he made a pledge and a vow 
The florist must deliver a rose somehow 
His wife would be the one to receive this rose
So despite his death their love still grows
