Ever seen a warrior beaten by an armless nincompoop,
Whom he could have maimed and vanquished?
A pilot swimming through murky waters,
Having ignored the benefits flights so furnished?
A gay prisoner of want who stalks fellow men
When damsels fast that he takes notice of them;
A sailor towards west when his itinerary should be bound towards North!
A singer of archaic lines when it’s available a novel anthem.
I saw a young man of age so green and untutored
Plunge into the sea of graft and improvident lasses
While all banners screamed that it was a no-go zone
For them that want to live when tomorrow passes.
How do you tether a goat and yet have it free,
Or how can you be there and still absent be?
No wishing of life loved the scent of death;
A flying bird isn’t perturbed by a mongoose’s chase!
Folly consumes like the teeth of rust
And no failure can quench its lust
To maim and bite and condemn;
To gnaw with malice from twig to stem.
You’ll lose your bag and still lose your leg;
You’ll suffer shame and incur every curse
For the sand has never staunched its want of water,
And none can inhibit the flow of gas!
Valentine's Day is just four months away
Are you ready to show her some love
For that beautiful someone sharing your life
An affair that fits like a glove!
You mustn't forget or ignore this occasion
Most romantic time of the year
To ladies, it's the supreme test of your love
Mess up... it's the doghouse I fear!
You'll feel her wrath for a long time to come
Like winter in the month of May
The calendar will say that spring has arrived
But the frost won't soon go away!
Just a reminder to order those flowers
It's never too early to plan
Or buy her chocolates, that's always good
You'll wind up being DE MAN!
If you mess up, don't come crying to me
I warned you in plenty of time
No, go somewhere else, you can't live here
You've committed the ultimate crime!

Merry Christmas
my love
It’s another day we sing God’s blessings
Distance may separate us but
God’s love is the same everyday
Distance memories occupy my mind
Distance thoughts of our first good Friday walk
Our first kiss on that lovely Sunday
All ringers in my mind as I write this
Naive you were if not drunk with love
Foolish I was if not a fool I was
To think I could win a woman like you
First without a job
Second without money
Third without an overflowing wallet
But God made His way felt in us
Not money nor my account won your heart
For despite my failures;
God won me your heart
Yes without a single shilling
Yes without any candle lite dinner
Yes without even a single date
God did the impossible for me possible
You left your rich boyfriends for me
You forgot about class and started low in the society
But slowly pride grew
You forgot where God took us from
Without applying for a job I got one
Without even any experience
You witnessed God raise me up the success ladder
But you became cold and started been distracted
Because you started believing am sleeping around
I didn’t need to for God watched over me
I didn’t have to for you were enough for me
But pride later on destroyed us both
Today am not single because you only cheated
And you defiled our bed
No;am serving for my sins that I committed while you were my wife
Sins i could easily avoid but I didn’t
Regretfully I have suffered family rejection
Regretfully I pity the life our son is living
Regretfully I fear that Christmas at your home
Is just a day of wishful thinking because
You are always scolded for making me your decision
One day God willing you and I shall be called to testify
What sin or error did we do that is not forgivable
What sin did our son commit to know rejection and depression
What error is this that you can’t ask for pardon
What Christians are we that we substitute even what can’t be changed
Divorce or separation of couples is a no go zone
This is just a pile of wishful thinking
But reality is in your heart and mine...
God protect you always

This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES...
Everyone has an ego,
And that is a fact we all know,
Cause our parents told us so.
Yet there are more details I need to know.
Asking my parents was no go.
They could not give me an optimum size.
Dad would cut my ego down to size.
Only for Mum to let it grow to a bigger size.
I will start with these questions as I look for new direction
and trust in your discretion.
Why do we need an ego and how big should it grow.
If I make it sit, can I give it a biscuit.
Should I keep it inside or outside,
Or should I just put it to one side.
Can I exchange it if I don't like the fit.
Can I take it on a trip if it is joined to my hip.
Or is it tethered to a balloon to take me to the moon.
Can I take it on a date or should I leave it at the gate.
Will it make me hot if I take it to the gym
Or should I take it for a swim to make me look cool in the pool
I am reluctant to show it to my friends
For fear of the message it sends.
Will I survive if I take it for a drive
Should I encourage it to grow if to an interview I go,
With some extra food just in case they want to check it is still healthy,
And will make them wealthy.
I first noticed the down side of my ego when to school I did go.
Thought I was more special than a kid who always hid,
Sent him to find an ego to grow,
And to bring it to school to show which was quite low.
Now appreciate my teacher for not being slow.
She caught my ego a good blow.
Though it still seems to grow when I put my family on show
Or about my accomplishments I do crow
And when I lie about my Salary, you wouldn't want to know.
How big it can grow.
If it starts to weigh me down
Will you give me a sign.
Your eyes are better than mine.
Though I think your ego could do with a bit more glow,
Put it out in the sun and have some fun now.
Should it grow more than slow, I will let you know.
What I know I cannot divulge
because I should not know it.
I snuck a look in secret
without you knowing.
Now my knowing torments me
as you don't know about it yet.
I cannot tell you about it.
Should I hasten your discovery;
will this reveal my secret?
How can I fain surprise
when I already know?
Will my quick response reveal
my foreknowledge?
I wish I had never snuck a look
in the envelope, as it has left me in
'no go land' with mine fields all around me.
I was only trying to help,
but now I am helpless
in a trap of my own making.
A nowhere man in no go land.
See we know about traditional old skool
gangster new school and mumble
well I’m the additional
mister medicinal
brain cells missing
brain fail consistent
I’ll stand here and diss you all
don’t get me fishing fool
I didn’t grow up on a council estate
an idiot losing count of mistakes
with fists thrown in hate at mates
that hip girate away lay my babe no lady
lately grating cheese placed in the freezer
I don't know that meaning either.
I tell big munters I ain’t really a geezer
and joke I once choked on a Malteser.
no Jesus please unless it’s Christmas or Easter.
I'm not gona eat a pineapple pizza a meat I'll eat easier
but picking pineapple pieces placed is waste unpleasing
each to their own as their own they teach
from fresh green grass to sweaty as on the beach
dream out of reach move over move closer seek
gangstas can be geeks
aint set change step reset no fret repeat geeze
no teasers hair pulled by tweezers
uprooted remove streets find uses
but choose the choice you've got used to commit
convict and glue stick useless urban true
as for me always me and only me how I be
cus I'm happy as different unique and genuine
crown me king as I separate from the crowd
I'm proud I'm me un-scouted lout, nah not now ,
what's that about, when talent drought no go
Medicinal Champagne am I bow bow
that’s the MC I please needs
it ain’t musical it’s a free read
If I could take it all back
Every wrong ever wrought
Every regrettable thing
Every broken wing
I'd lay it all to rest
In an unmarked plot
Over which I would plant
Quiet thyme
And no-leaf clovers
Lilies of denial
And forget-me-nows
There would be no memorial
No elegy, no eulogy
No monody, no dirge
Not even a calaverita
Unless one is desperate
Enough to count this poem
This nobituary, if you will
No lamentation
No regrets
No go-away birds
No mourning doves
Nor egrets to bear the pall
Only leave the dead featherless
Laid down without down
To comfort them
And the egrets
Stand stilted and white
As nothing
Melancholy
As marble statues
In the silk gray dusk
Like lilies on a grave.
I look at people but everybody looks like a stranger to me
I don't know them
Do I want to know them?
No
Why should I know them?
They don't do anything for me
I got all I need
In here - me
Why should I know them?
Why would I know them?
I couldn't care less
I don't need to know nobody
There is no reason to
I could survive on my own
Do I want to be on my own?
I don't know
Sometimes I just don't want to know nobody
Be on an island - by myself
But at other times I want to be with everybody
And have everybody to myself
What is this polarization?
I can be hot
And I can be cold
I can be mean
And I can be keen
Sprint, blink, swing
Help me to be even
Do I need to be even?
Do I want to be even?
No, no, no
I am not on even keel
I don't eat even leaves
I don't give evenly
Why do I need to be even?
I have it all
Why do I want to be even?
Haven't I had it all?
Ahhh but why?
Why they look like strangers
And why they look like friends?
When they come closer
And when I truly care
Now I don't care
Go
No come
No go
Come
No go
Make up your mind
Ok make up my mind
You can come
And you can go
And you will always be a friend to me
But when ahh ahh
Can't go back now
Can you be a little bit a stranger?
Where are my old white corsets
Right next to your candy cigarettes
Hey! We didn't get today's edition of 'Grit'
It's canceled. They use bad words now like 'Guck' and 'Spit'
Oh, and I can't seem to find my orange Pez dispenser
I threw it out. They've proved that Pez causes cancer
By the way, have you seen the Sunday funnies
They're a no-go, ever since they canceled 'Pogo'
You know I've got two tickets for the Brooklyn Dodgers
Ha, ha, ha! Even Sandy Koufax is just an old codger
Then I'm going cruising in my new Studebaker
--with that benchwarmer from the Minneapolis Lakers?
Before I forget, don't throw away my bottle of royal blue ink
Ball point pens been around since '38, sister, even in pink
So you shan't think me old-fashioned, I just bought a brand-new TV!
-Yeah, a nine-inch black-and-white with vacuum tubes that smile at me
But I paid for it with five million Wheaties box tops!
That's crazy... I think I'll start collecting used lemon drops...
