Long Instigates Poems

Midst efforts to resolve a viral pandemic
Causing global illness and death epidemic
As we process the merits of our heartfelt fears
Mixed with worry, doubt, dread, anger, and sometimes tears
Let’s not forget about the virgin who conceived

Don't live or die for a leader
Live or die for a good cause
Don't be mislead by fervor
That instigates the applause

A just world for everyone
Is the politics for me
Where people are all valued
Not by race or...

Success induces affinity, a sense of familiarity, recognition.
Similarly it instigates mysticism and scepticism: all based on ‘intuition’.
Thoughts accumulated without reason, nor justified perception:
A man who stares into a mirror, and doesn’t recognise his reflection.

A day without Cheese is not a day worth living in
Despite my high cholesterol, I will pop another statin in
The texture, the flavour, the smell, the pure cheesiness

Her frosting turns the landscape into a communal wedding cake.

The Civilian Plants
Mansur Aziz


To the offices they go, the civilian plants,
Wearing suits and pants and ties.
The lifts carry them to the room air-conditioned
And their time becomes naughty with the 
Venetian blinds.
Illicit love grasps them-

Dog eat dog world
Awakes to new dawn;
Paradoxical gains


Words and yet more
Empty words dilute;
Cold comfort frozen


Headlines sensation
Bad news in vogue;
Catchy decadence

Mood swings highlight
Psychic trauma;
Pain instigates


Skybridge running track
26 floors above;
Senior citizens jog


Look to...

And the globe hanging up on a thin line!

See if you can ponder at an...

your forever dreams defeat despair.
And yet, those that...

Silence is a mighty weapon in hands of all,
it can be easily wielded by all.

If someone criticizes you, just keep silence,
if someone instigates you, just keep silence.

An eyrie of bald eagles stir,
waking to the fresh morning air.
Preening and primming flight feathers
grooming each with diligent care.

Flies buzz around yesterday's scraps,
fueled by the rays of the sun.
And shifting shadows disappear,
darkness defeated, dawn has...

Flame, burning flame
Not of the still mill’s furnace
Not of the scorching summer sun
Not of the volcanic hazards
The flame is youthful age
The burning flame is juvenile biological time
It burns inside the heart

Ones unsuccesses tend to drain
Throughout endurance, there is pain
Queries pondered on and often misled
Drawn to the conclusion of efforts withheld

Abscond itself rendering it useless to learn

They slaughtered the icon in captivity
as an act of mercy.
To know the secret of madness
why people were falling on knees ?
