If you want that I bring your news then up,
Who is who foresees with so bitter mind”.

Each country with segments of puppet regime governments,
With exceptions of course,
The drug lords the cartel those with the power
And the glory to hold what they consider theirs,

That your younger self never thought you could meet.

(The rehab of a supervisor)

My eyes!  Saturated
with industrial crap, eventually
to intoxicate what’s left of one’s
bewildered brain.
My sight!  Shackled to the
delusion of corporate inconsistencies,
when leading one’s head through each
enigmatic juncture.
My ears!  Burn with...

I went to the places 
where the poets all go
There were so many rhymes
The going was slow
The sky had fluffy clouds
Reminding me of snow
The ground verdant green
had an emerald like glow

Metaphorically speaking
Under rocks I was...

His policies and actions are not his own. 
The hard right urges him to "Make America 
Great Again" I really don't know what that means.

His policies and...

A verbal warning this day
of redundancy, an end to
Twenty-four years of hard graft,
releases doleful innuendoes
from those safe, left on the staff.
Each dawn! That initiates, now
leaves the sound of silence
ringing, in one’s dependable mind,
each journey down...

You’re going around town telling all who care to listen
that I’ve got an axe to grind, I’m picking on your brain.
But you know damn well it is nothing like that at all,
you have been nasty...

Life is a very long movie
Life is a brief biography
Life is not an encyclopedia
But a book of several chapters
Life is a garden of flowers
Do not blame Wikipedia
For the bad, fake or false stories
People love tragic...

There is a minority force out there
one of evil and intent
disguised by enchantment and empathy,
within surging tides of coercion
steers one’s ever defiling poetry
of the predator,
those that crave to share one’s shadow
and constantly demand on return

IF YOU WANT TO DO BETTER, 
CHOOSE THE RIGHT THING, 
GET YOUR MIND OUT THE GUTTER, 
AND HEAR THE WAKE-UP CALL BELL RING:

Fingers intertwined in 
  wondrous oneness
  together foreverness
  breathtaking bliss

Eye to eye in
   lyrical longing
   melodic memories
   soul symmetry

Backs turned to 
  bygone brokenness

Nigeria, the Soul of my Pride (Part One)
Nigeria, my country, where mournful of pledges aren’t reneged?
Indomitable she would have maintained, if crowns aren’t clowns
Gyrating on the mishaps, wearing wan gumption—unwelcome!
Ears do attend; but eyes haven’t...

I hate the taste of alcohol
a squalid little drink
that twists the thoughts inside of you
and changes what you think

It takes away whats good in life
destroy's the growth of love
replacing it with bitterness 
it covers love...

Mirror broken, shard's outspoken
Piercing, rupturing, into my heart
No prisoners taken, her life token

Devoured, as latest thirst fulfilled
Appetite quenched, now plied art 
As sly innuendoes, master skilled

A journeyman of no consequence 
Thoughts brims, he can only...

Women who live singly and privately
suddenly become preys to fleas,
who are seeking self serving opportunities,
If they aren't married they are considered
old maids, or bombarded with innuendoes
and clandestine propositions,
The lengths people will go through to make...

In every corporation there are thugs,
that want to have their way while others
look in another direction, using threats
and devious deflections,
If challenged, or called on their game,
they become adamant, fresh and resort to
throwing around random blames,
Fear...

Small word, two letters,
"if"--how many innuendoes
and emotions it can evoke,
just by tone of voice.
"If you don't go to class,"
"if you succumb to drugs,"
"if you don't take that job,"
"if you refuse to move,"
negatives that threaten and...

He goes out armoured
In knowledge, brains and mind
He goes off to the war of no blood
Fought with the steady word

Infantry his words,
Artillery his wits,
His sarcasm bayonets,
his bombast cannon blasts

Diplomatic innuendoes
Philosophical crescendos
Are not mere statements
But victory...

In his armour
of knowledge, brains and mind
He goes off to the bloodless wars fought with salient words

Infantry, his words
Artillery, the wits
Sarcasm, the sabre
Bombast, the cannon

Diplomatic innuendoes
philosophical crescendos
are not mere statements
but victory bringing elements

He fights on...
