if I could trace back
to that period
before it all started
some hundreds shameful years ago
when, under thatch great men
with courageous minds were made
Days,
when we aim neither
for fancy houses
nor folding bridges
true peace was what we preach
Then,
our egos yearn for more
we set to conquer civilization
our brethren we exchanged
for soap, gunpowder and tobacco
After we made them great
on their intelligence they heap praise
that their so-called industrialization
our labour they exploited
what they'll never mention
They fooled us
to believe that
we can catch up with them
invisible ladders they built
which we have to climb
to meet them on the top
Slowly,
we poisoned ourselves
with their westernization
embracing all those illogical concepts
shaky as a kid's first steps
Then,
came our realization
of how foolish
we had been
Gladly,
they left
knowing they will
always come back
for they know our minds
have embraced their every thoughts
Years passed,
radically they came back
this time with new faces
of remorse with impunity
to suck the marrow from those bones
Foolishly again
we allowed them
to confiscate our brains
this time not with chains or canes
but with thoughts of doubt
Now here we are
crippling and dripping
of sweats that would have been theirs
instead of mending holes in our thatches
we fought for their badges
But,
what if we learn to breathe under water?
what if our chiefs can lead better?
what if they need us morethan
we need them?
where are those ideas of Pan-Africanism?
where are those men
who fought with swords and words?
Let's bring back those days
..............BUT LAMENTATIONS.

stopping
now just
standing
talking
as if to
himself
are you
following
me around
as he decides
then suddenly
picks up a fork
don't follow me
especially
to work
then
motioning
in the air
won't let you
in as he is
now beginning
to try to touch
the air
in front
of him
now
talking
out get out
of my head
scratching
do i follow you
turning around
i don't need to
have you been
dictating with
now throwing
a punch
in the air
compared
to yesterday
so you were
here but weren't
saying anything
but he's on the green
stuttering putting
last hole
holy f***
it seems
slowing rolling
to be going in
get out
of my head
inches away
stay out
it isnt going in
so well below
so far distracting
par is far
from you
and humming
the looping tune
in my head
that's it
for today
at last
please save me
not even close
the record's stuck
well below bogey
we
are the
champions
Form:
I live in a country
thats over regulated with petty rules
They tell me i must participate
or be labelled as a fool
They make me spend thousands on courses
to bring me up to speed
But when I get the ticket,
its stuff ill never use or need.
I work long days
and get paid well for what i do
But there isnt much left
after the tax man is through.
They gouge us at the gas pumps,
Yet we process it right here.
And insurance rates are climbing,
soon driving will disappear.
The rich keep getting richer,
and fight for the last dollar to be had,
Seems to me being stranded alone on a deserted island
aint all that bad.
Coronavirus COVID-19
Coronavirus! What is it?
Is a virus or is it a bit
Of China using your sinus
To infect the COVID-19 virus
As biological weapon
To teach us a lesson.
Not to kill,
But to give a cold chill;
Cripple the enemy
From now to eternity.
Masses of humanity
Driven to insanity.
Skirmishing over
Water, toilet paper
Cleaning supplies
And hand sanitizers.
Schools, church masses, entertainment centers,
And all criminal and civil trials court dates
Canceled. A fear and trepidation
Of exposure at large gatherings; in every nation.
No cure for the coronavirus exist
And it could take a year or more to find one; they predict.

"Works Cited"
Quote: World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus assured people on Twitter last week that “actually it’s not airborne.” He went on to clarify that “[i]t spreads from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with #COVID19 coughs or exhales.” According to this way of thinking, the blobs of viral particles that get expelled from coughs and exhales are too big to float around; so they mainly cause infection by landing onto someone close, or by dropping on a surface from which they’re later transferred to someone’s body via touch.

I’m half me
Are you half you
We’ve given up
Still there’s much to lose
We’re lying here together
When we should call a truce
For fighting off these feelings
There really is no use
What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love
Would you like coming home
To open arms
Kisses that aren’t shallow
That are now the norm
I bet everyday
Would feel like years
Anticipating and waiting
For what awaits us dear
All the nights we could be talking
Wishing they never had an end
Instead we’re stuck here wondering
Not just settlin’
What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love
We’re waiting to find what we left behind
Way back in our youth...
The hardest part is knowing
And hiding from the truth
What we’re in....isn’t love
We’ve settled for
What’s not part of us
We both miss
The passion and lust
Cause what we’re in.... isn’t love
What we’re in....
Isn’t love
Here we ago again. You tell me you're not sure
Don't know what you're feeling. I've heard this all before.
You have my heart in limbo. What am I doing wrong?
Why am I not enough for you? Why am holding on?
CHORUS
Times up. I'm done with waiting. C'mon make up your mind
Are we going somewhere? Or do I leave this far behind
If you're not sure you love me. Then what are we doing here
Tell the truth. Just say it.
Be transparent.
Crystal Clear
Do you mean it when you kiss me. Is this only in my head?
This evening's entertainment lying in your bed
The way you touch my body makes me feel you really care
Is this real or just illusion. I see something that's not there
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Done with your indecision This isnt fair to me
Gonna do myself a favor let go and set you free.
Rather be alone than with someone who isnt sure
You lead my heart on long enough. Wont take it anymore.
CHORUS:
TImes up im done with waiting. I just made up my mind
This is going nowhere. Gonna leave it far behind.
If you're not sure you want me then I'm not staying here.
Its over babe Im leaving.
Hope I made that Crystal Clear.

i cant explain my feeling anymore cause everytime i think of you i cry, i been crying for days and nothing i can do but cry i can wipe my tears but im still going to cry, i can promise you that im not going to cry but im still going to cry, as my night and days appear i sit on my bed in my heartache in tears, i may have cried a river who knows, it still stay that i cried day and night, and the pain i have will not go away, i get on my knees asking god help me through this time but i still feel the tears coming down my face and now i feel all the tears i have are gone and i just sit up in the middle of the night wishing that things were same but deep inside my heart i know they isnt and its killing to not say how i feel, i been in pain cant talk cause its like you really isnt there, i cant speak to you at times cause feel like you dont care, it feel as if im a nobody, i dont know if i can bare another tear anymore, i dont see my happiness end yet to come, i see the pain in the rain to come , i dont see it getting any better yet

our Inner energy, we all have one, yet we dont know it exists,
Our inner energy, we all see it, yet we dont know have the tools,
we are human beings, yet we dont take the time to see inside our hearts,
we dont know how to really truly let go of our adult selves.
Our Inner energy, is always with us, day and night,
ITs an valuable part of our busy hectic lives,
OUr Inner Energy is deep inside our souls hidden away,
so that we dont have to face our deepest secrets, our feelings,
but isnt that what is instiled in us at birth?
Our mother embraces us after birth, places us on her chest,
We hear her beating heart, soon after our loud scream seem to cease.
That is our Inner Energy speaking, screaming, at us to be held,
to be held in love, compassion, skin to skin,
THere is NO OTHER love, felt by anyone else,
its what makes us human beings, but what happened?
OUr Inner energy is always with us, close your eyes, wrap your arms
across your chest, and squeeze, now how does that feel?
Dont ignore the feelings, because i promise you they are real..
Our Inner Energy, that warm tingly feeling you are feeling in your body?
Its is what happens when you experience Hakomi therapy,
We retreat back to our moment of birth, being placed on our Mother's
chest, that close intimate feeling of touch, dont be afraid to let go..
You are loved, cared for, you are compassionate, you are you, just as you are
Whereeve you go, there you are".
Ahead a trail that stretches with his finish line unseen,
at the start he ponders what this one will mean,
this obstacle will be like no other he thought,
an obstacle different than everything he's fought,
cool crisp morning air fills his lung,
pistol raises, the starting chime has rung,
months of discipline has lead him here,
even the thought of loss isnt severe,
content the journey was the path to the start,
this trail, this obstacle will be the final part,
cloud of orange dust left at the beginning,
a pack of runners begins thinning,
weaving through Utah's canyon,
traverse to reveal the true champion,
his stride and breathing has reached the maximus,
by endurance we conquer - Fortitudine Vincimus,
ahead the finish line still unseen,
but now he knows what this will all mean.
For my good friend Matt, Ultra marathon runner. May you let no obstacles get in way of your mission!
