A Big Problem
Once there was a famous king,
More famous than Ozymandias.
His name was King Wolf.
Sultan was his nickname.
He called himself a benevolent despot;
And his style of government
A ‘democratic dictatorship.’
He spoke good English—
A foreign language,...

Boredom
Sometimes I feel boredom settling in like dust,
Shrouded in the island of a single thought-
Works to be done and lying unfinished.
There are obligations one cannot wriggle out.
As a housewife, I have to wake up early...

Out of tension mind went berserk

Scared of teacher from homework would never shirk
In class teacher asked about it...

Slavery's Children
The lines were blurred for prisoners who slaved
in mines or rowed the heavy wooden ships
for years, while overseen by men depraved,
who tormented and drove with leather whips.
As lines were crossed by those who felt no...

What Was the Human Error
Was it the death of the child,
playing in the busy street,
where traffic frequently exceeds speed limits,
in neighborhoods like this one,
even in summer evenings when children gather
with stick and ball?
Or was it the single mother,
who allowed...

Year Zero
Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge movement, the leader Pol Pot,
Killed twenty-five percent of the population, a fact most people forgot.
To spare you is no profit, to destroy you is no loss,
That was the ideology of the...

Lost
I’m lost.
It’s nothing new, I just sit around and overthink, overcompensate, over complicate, overwork the brain but it has its limits.
I see now what I do, how I am, who I become when...

I'm All That and an Appreciative Hat
I'm just an old-fashioned, flannel lumberjack shirt.
My father was some overalls, a farmer of dirt.
I'm a worn out and holey pair of cotton socks,
An unwanted sweater, packed away in a box.
My son's a fancy ascot...

The Laborer
Standing outside,
Working in the heat,
Skin charred and brown,
Weathered and leathery.
There toils the laborer.
He’s fixed at a distance,
Huddled with others.
Like warehouse items,
Tools packed together,
Yet to be used.
His clothes are caked,
Decorated with dirt...

Waking Cronus
Tired lids to buckets of endless hours
open cracks and creaks
and cold saps their strength.
Exhaustion gives
and so do lids
for I was not born a god.
As end to time,
results evade.
Exasperation grasps unthinking.
Sudden shaking, endless quaking;
Axes work...

Slow Down To Go Farther
It’s not hard work that kills a man,
But overwork shortens lifespan.
Indolence also does the same,
No work sure makes a person lame.
Many, in order to gain clout,
Work so hard, they wear themselves out.
Taking regular time to...

Inside Your Head
When I first took up residence,
We were neighbours who kept to ourselves.
But I needed more room
Abundantly provided
Thanks to your unwitting generosity.
That's when your trouble started.
Those odd bouts of tiredness
You put down to overwork and stress.
All...

Solitary Horse
He played in the hills that day,
And in the evening he heard the call to gather,
And he came running,
Eager that he might learn.
He listened to the older horses:
No horse is lucky till dead ...
A horse’s...
