Long Manifestos Poems

Cooperative Feministas

In David Holmgren's introduction to Permacultural Therapeutic Design,

with feminist RightBrain enculturation, nurturance, resonance
over the longer-term scenaria,
rather...

Transition 

A grandson of the revolution of late 90s
The progeny bored in evolution the 21st 
Dynamic spells the prospectives of son's
Daughter's of soil. Mwana wevhu stunga.

Deep thoughts from within depths, ours
Guts inflamed by the political...

I have not ceased—
I have not.
The things of the past
Do not rot, do not decay,
But I have not ceased—
I have not.

Once the pitchfork's prongs
Did so deafeningly twang,
I shriveled and cowered,
And found myself prancing
With the headless...

Sick of the blame game burden and fake foreign news

Spew a fault line of tsunamis and earth shattering quakes

The day fell at its prey since man’s first fall,
To feed poison the dragon hath lifted its head,
Men have fallen into lucrative chasm,
Many ‘succeeded’ perching on the dragon’s head,
A few ‘defeated’ chewed ‘twixt the beast’s...

Yesterday,
Yes. May, 1956,
The liquid black gold formed the beginning of greatness
In Oloibiri and later in the entire Niger Delta communities.
Today, we are drinking from the rivers polluted by oil spillage,
Many of us regret being a...

A killer has nothing to kill,
if shoppers get a grip, and 
swallow the bitter pill!
"Honey, you can't go in 
big stores anymore.
Less your are willing to be 
another victim on a concrete
floor."

Get off the dang you...

Prior to the twenty fifteen election
I was in a total objection
As I got engaged in a war of words
With an elder who saw only the outwards

Though agreed that this party will win 
I said their...

Bullets oil with blood, 

Hearts smitten with cruelty

Our minds sealed with carnage,

As we marched, for the harvest is ready

With our machetes from China,

Our ak47 from Russia,

And the Americas’ bullets we moved into their shrine

Harvesting our...

Promise me nothing –
I’m not interested in your vows
Between the farmer and the field
Is just another broken plow
No backtalk allowed –
All discourse now falls short
A culture of mellow drama
And every day is the last resort

Fluent as a rill, that wanders silver-footed down a hill,
Their manifestos raised our burried hopes from sepulchres,
Glittering like an aigrette of stars,
We believed they were refined gold.

Indeed, they deserve our patriotism and mandate,
Wholeheartedly, we gave...

Poets Escape
         by Odin Roark

How willing
This heart and mind
Absorbing pain's daily prose
Global flagellation becoming
Best sellers
Top Box-office
Google's lifeblood

Whether Syria's dismemberment
Washington's absurdity
Or Hollywood's Grand Guignol Follies
Exhausted passions and intelligence
Clutter...

A brand new world.  Broken millstone
Wrapped round the ankles.  Tortures of 
A sepia vision.  Forever there – eyes
Glazed and the lullaby of sleep.

Become jealous 
In spite of my well

A gentleman with moderate dignity and
Integrity with calm and democratic manifestos
But no one knows
How I suffer and weild sword
