Long Misappropriation Poems

It had been a hellish week.

On Monday
my lonely and tired AfricanAmerican husband
told me, as gently as possible,
that what I had hoped was a temporary separation
is to be extended into perpetuity.

This separation had been scheduled to...

What purpose do I choose to live;
remaining aloof from evil practice and intent?
What meaning can we find to live,
reversing "evil"
that could transcend our individual absence of identity?
Original Intent uncovers love-life's revolutionary invitation
into mutual belonging.

What is...

Race-Ism

What makes one man or woman better than another?
Should we think differently of those who adapted
to another environment and adapted another color?

If our differences are only skin deep as a tone
why do we unto our...

she carries the child on tired hips rested on chains ‘round her waist

wasted on freedom designed to serve a white man’s lustful desire

branded inferior as time repeats itself and the pain knows no end

My love
so you have a history
has the past then written it indelibly
all things you think you should be
you respond to all those things
conglomerate
with all the things you think you perceive

And the world does not equate
nor...

Personally above and beyond all

I hate and despise in this world

Is misappropriation of certain

That have been devalued demeaned

To such a lesser degree they bare no relation

masters and servants are truthful to themselves

The situation in my country is terrifying
I wish I can do something gratifying,
Selfishness and corruption by leaders are annoying,
No job,no food ,no water,in a land flourishing
with resources and its occupants are crying,
Mortality rate increases for...

The cup
The mauve coloured love
Filled with tea or coffee
Impish and flirty
Richly ripply
Indulgence in anarchy
Fascinatingly
A festival of crimson glee

A cup of happy time
Smile seated on sweet lime
Tempting me to crime
Of misappropriation for tasting rhyme
Between hungry life...

Perambulating in Jail

‘Hey you in the middle march on in median mediocrity’
No subversive elements needed no lateral thinking and
no thinking per se is required once you follow the crowd

‘No eccentricity get into that box until...

You open the flood gates if you say
You come from the bush and are in power,
So beside your regular pay
Some misappropriation won't matter.

Billions may pass on your belt each day
And your heart, dangling in greed,
May...

White House



The man from the window peeped in the morning
Dreamed to send harm other fellow being
He snarled he is superior to all living
Because he showed his white hair.

Folks were present to bear whatever it comes
At...

I wish to wake up and see a new world,
I wish to wake up and see a new system, 
A world free from ills and pills, 
A world free from corruption and misappropriation,
A world free...
