Our bodies were celebrities without status

Our bodies were celebrities, before we knew fame
Privacy was a luxury, stolen from our innocence,
Our curves measured, scrutinised by envy,
Scales became friends without the empathy,
Put under a microscope, our bodies criticised for growing,
A black girls body, becomes front page news -
The buzzword they religiously used, ‘fast’ as if it were choice

Shamed for being curvy, yet paying for our shape to be replicated,
They instil hate, to make us shrink -
Just for them to showcase the bodies they claim to ‘hate’
Stealing credit, and robbing the spotlight
The aim of their game, was to install shame -
To feel better, for not being naturally shaped

Paper reviews and media highlights,
No protection, just unwanted exposure,
Contracts signed without our permission,
To showcase our bodies, like we are caged animals 
Turned into a circus, to point and laugh at,
To hide the fact, that they wish they were black,
Their skin green, with the envy of our blackness -
Projecting hate in disguise of jealousy,
Trapped in a state of constant sadness,
For not living up to an image they worked hard to perfect
Our bodies, were just caught in the crossfires of their anger


Paid in Full

Blood, sweat and tears
Through Christ Jesus, we can conquer our fears
Through His death, we can discover a new breath of life
His life was put under the knife 
This was to give us new life

Paid in full
So you and I can fulfill our destiny and
Exhibit the magnificent Grace bestowed upon us

Death could not hold him
A new family was born and grows forevermore
He is the cure to our deceitful heart
He did His Part and
He will be praised Forevermore

Paid in full
So you and I can fulfill our destiny and
Exhibit the magnificent Grace bestowed upon us

Paid in fulfil to bring us back to him

The "Spirit "keeps us alive! The "Spirit" of a "Lie" is of "The Devil" and "The Devil is a "Liar"and ignores what is "The Truth"!The "Devil" says that there is no such thing as hatred ,and we see it everyday,and we see love too,and this is how the "Devil" lies to me and to you,by saying things that are a lie and are untrue! Let us stay and remain in "The Spirit of The Truth"that make us "Godly",and think straight,and face what is real ,not matter how terrible it may be or no matter how we feel! The Truth is real,and a lie is "Deceit",and that is why "The Devil" is put under our feet by "The Lord God"!The Lord God does not need my help,because I need his help to boost this "Spiritual  Power" everyday and every hour,and be revived so that I can stay alive! We need to revive those "Spirits" that are expressed in the words written in this poem,and believe "The Truth",and reject "The Lie"and build up our "Spirits"and never die believing a liar who always tells a good for nothing lie!

Premium Member Steps On a Rainy Night

It was a rainy night.  Sondra was watching a soap opera when she heard steps outside her house.  Sondra called the police.  Policemen patrolled the surroundings of Sondra's house, but they did not found anybody.  She recently testified on court as witness for a crime she witnessed in a park nearby her house after returning from work.  The killer strangled a woman who was making exercise.

Sondra went to sleep.  She woke up with a nightmare.  Vividly, she saw in her mind the crime.
A new day was ahead. Sondra woke up and took a shower. She got dressed for her work and  prepared waffles, coffee and orange juice for breakfast.  She left to work. Sondra worked in a modeling agency. 

Sondra decided that afternoon to walk in the park nearby her house. She wanted to conquer the fear she felt after witnessing the crime.  She heard a stranger call her.  A tall man was near her. 
Sondra felt fear. His eyes reflected lust.  She decided to run to the police station that was located a few minutes from her house.

Sondra told to the police the event that happened in the park with the strange man.  The police surrounded the park. They found the man and arrested him.  He was the serial killer that strangled the woman in the park recently.  His name was Lee.  He escaped from prison to search for Sandra. Lee was put under arrest and returned to prison.

Sondra returned to her house.  She took a bath.  Sondra decided to wear a flannel pajama and socks. Turned on the tv to see the nightly soap opera.  Later, she decided to read the local newspaper before going to bed.  While she was turning off the lights, she heard steps outside the house. Sondra thought that she was imaging the steps.  She decided to go to sleep.  A hectic day was waiting for her.

Premium Member Bring Peace As We Are Manned

We worry, we watch, we wonder
As hurricanes race with fury
What will the strong surge put under?

It wobbles, it turns, we worry…
We pray for people to survive
As hurricanes race with fury

We just want all to stay alive
We watch the size, the wind, the eye
We pray for people to survive

It gets closer in the dark sky
On a determined path for land
We watch the size, the wind, the eye

Empty beaches wait, blowing sand
People reaching, with helping hands
On a determined path for land

We pray because we understand
We worry, we watch, we wonder
Bring peace to all, as we are manned
What will the strong surge put under?

Volga 4 - 5

Volga – 4

to the homoeopathy phial
standing on the traffic-island 
why it appears 
within her womb
the number of germinated nights
stolen without a kiss
is too little

is then it true 
if all the chanting of Harinam
can’t be withdrawn from the alcohol
the body-odour of the running tamarisk-shrub  
will enter into the circuit-house

and that devouring of the parchment 
brings to the feelings of the non-veg ant-hills 
the let’s-go-cure 
gathering in the sauce-island 

Volga - 5

coming to this ironed canal-side
every auto-rickshaw  
wants to know and let other know 
the mystery 
behind  the rice-rain 
from the cirrus                                                

the shame in the eyes of the seal containing signs
supplies the whole-sale dealership 
of the civil disobedience movement 
to the locality

the role of the hammer also 
wakes up early in the morning 
to put under its own tongue 
an antacid 

is it possible that the spits 
used in the observatory 
be made a little more fast-moving 

manuscript of the basement of a well

the biography of the pond-heron will be scripted
even-then the productivity of the merry-go-round 
wouldn’t be uttered for a moment 
no sir, such has never been expected 

in the liquefied banana-blossoms
too many hot breads resulted from the season-change 
continues to bat  vehemently  
and climbs to the peak of heart-throbbing runs 

they in a group will go to the 
aqua anetha of the mole hill 
to organise a folk-song 

to understand this 
no arbitration of the cactus is required

notwithstanding
it is heard that the thread was pulled 
by the violin of  the wife of the moon-god
from behind the screen 

here in the eye-front
is the basement of the morning-well 

on its one page lies the faulty  crow-caws 
and on another some sun-shines 
swinging on the hanger 
after some pages in recurring …the chicken-pox … the boot-polish …

within the two covers of the dance-drama 
also comes the creepers and herbs 
grown around the melting point 
of the arm-chair 
whose legs are broken 

if each pore on the skin of the river-lily 
becomes so much known 
then in the background of this low land

let us have one game more

INJUSTICE IN MY CITY

The crime rate in my city
Sapele City to be precise 
Most comes from camouflage 
Police is your friend 
Bail is free 
The biggest lie in history
Even when you're not guilty, you still need to pay something.

Where are your papers 
You'll think  it's your motor papers
But after tendering your papers 
They still need another paper 
Which is the money 
They'll beat you or jail you 
Innocently if you don't give them the money.

The police is for 
Unity, peace and justice 
Yet they disrupt the city 
Dividing the people 
Apprehending the innocent 
Instead of justice 
They collect money from the guilty.

There was a time
My youngest sister was defiled
Instead of apprehending the defiler 
My youngest sister and my oldest sister 
Who was pregnant 
Was put under detention.

Isolation Tv

The clock on the wall
Just past boring.
Today’s Big decision is crumpets
And Charlie Stayt on the BBC  still boring.
Today’s news is Covid 19.
The homes been put under the hammer
and martins told me to do my homework.
and I've been on a bargain hunt.
I turn the radio on its smooth fm
It’s a constant link of cheesy tunes
and yes I am living on a prayer.
oh I could so easily murder someone
best not as its father brown now.
then more Covid 19 on the news.
out for a walk with the lyra clad masses
and there’s more cyclists than Beijing.
Teas a thing with the shortest expire date.
And im now watching pointless which seems so apt.
then of to help Indiana  find a crystal skull
then more news about Covid 19.

Bed 

The End

Episode 2 tomorrow  in fact no just read it again.

Killer Car

(I got the idea for this poem from my favorite horror movie 'Christine'.)

I bought a 1998 Corvette but I didn't know that it was possessed.
After it attacked people, I was put under arrest.
It came to life and started running people down.
I knew that nobody was safe while it was still around.
After I escaped from jail, I stood at the edge of a cliff and dared my car to attack 
me.
When it came at me, I jumped out of the way and it went over the edge and it blew 
to smithereens.
All the car ever did was kill and torment.
It took awhile but people eventually accepted that I was innocent.

Different Colors

10/28/16



No time for any sucker 
Since I'm not getting any younger 
Got to stay up, before getting permanently put under 
I don't need no maid or butler 
The same can be said for any cookie cutter 

Anyday, as I do and don't discover 
Among things intact and punctured 

Straight up gutter
Near and far away from any buzzards 
Onto something rougher and tougher
Year round, fall, winter, spring and summer 

A world full of so much different colors
As well as things labeled and numbered
Either disorganized or well structured

Mass quantities of items have been plundered
Much of which became asunder


Nobodies perfect we all make blunders
Respect and love your sisters, brothers and mother

Similar yet different from one another
Near and far from lumber
During sunshine, rain, snow and thunder
I can't help but wonder
Due to my own curiosity and hunger
