Debt and Life

Man wants life, too easy, as sweet as honey
But for that needs money.

Money he may though have
But not sufficient for him to behave.

Not sufficient for his needs and deeds
Like uncountable rosary beads.

For his satisfaction of...

The Anonymous Patriot

That none raised a claim against him, even in jest,
And reports on his environmental conduct all agree
That he never injured a sprouting tree,
And that all he did was to...

Guess who loved me so much

Would you like to play a guess game?
What kind of the person would be like
Based on the following verbal comments
Made by people from all walks of life?

"A lousy parent, who had never driven a car."

Another Year Has Flown By

Another year has come and gone,
but despite changes, I keep moving on.
I walk a little slower, take time to rest.
still work in the garden, is thought the best
vocation any man can enjoy.

When Mwami and family, chewed swallowing thunderously
He glares most in somber, so as to get a guide
How to enter and nearly, they hear ignoring unanimously

Out of the Box

a truth , neither to be traded or bought
to discover , uncover , recover the mold

Katrina

The raging storms have come and gone;
But the sorrow still remains.
The levies gave way and much was lost.,
And all that was left was the pain.

Refugees, they were called
were left to their own devices

Kindness and Tears

Only a hero volunteers for war,
willing to battle and die for others.
And do things they'd typically abhor,
rallying into a band of brothers

Death Comes Stalking

His breath I’ve felt in recent years,
Upon my neck, infusing fear.
Though when I turn to see who’s there,
Emptiness greets me, vacant, bare.

With menacing breath, dark and heavy
He penetrates my defensive levies,
Consuming my strength and vigor
He...

Nor had any sage of the long past foretold

Have You Forgotten

Hours upon end
All we have arrived to is less then a final decision
Vengeful misconduct of our nation

Corruption in the rumours and on the scenes
High profile slaps and cattle vaccines 
Taxes, levies and airport leases
Pleasure decreases and pressure increases 
Critics disappear in a bid to peddle fear
Rage and despair always lingers in...

that it be nexus between diviner and rapture
where freedom finds the fire of Prime Creator

Unbelief

Nothing to prove an existance of Jehovah,
Relevant facts demonstrated on daily account,
Evolution brought men this far,
Scientific and ignorance underline after,
No God,no Jesus nor Holy Spirit amount,
Scriptures are forged and schemed in bar,
