Heart, tempestuous and wild
Delights in the dance of contrast
Although knowing it will not last
Frolics about like a playful child

Mother and Father join the play

Hide and seek, before their union
Foiled...

In a busy Asian marketplace,
Near the plantains and the mangos 
Where the shadows could obscure his face.

A patriarch, legend, family man,
A moral compass,
An arc of proprietary leadership
With octopus creeping advancements
Inducing pomiferous effects
Africa’s epitome of
Struggle against racial oppression

I'll play the devil's advocate, yet

I live in the midst of plenty and abundance-

Cry babies

 The emerald stones on the relieve peak
 Causing welling up like stormy waves,
 And breath taking halt, grunting
 Roar as the thundering drums reverberating;
