A Recount and Recap of Lockdown Scenarios the World Over

Humans have long trespassed
and destroyed animal territories
Humans have poached
And selfishly encroached
upon animal habitats
cutting down trees to build
human habitations.
Now the tables have turned
Humans are quarantined  in house arrest
while some lie sick in bedrest
So animals not usually seen are having a fields day 
roaming upon roads, crossing the streets.
Reclaiming the once jungle lands,
that had been turned into concrete urban jungles. 

It's better that busy humans now become photoholic
than forever queueing 
in lines of heavy traffic.
Without human pollution,
nature is all the more photogenic 

Mother nature all a creation of God
has now had many of us grounded
as she gives us a hiding
while we go into hiding.
Extraordinary turn of events indeed!! 

In several countries round the world: 

Discos and casinos vacated
Pubs and nightclubs evacuated
Bars shutdown for lockdown
People are behind bars instead of guzzling beer in bars
and instead of animals behind bars. 

Humans compelled to hibernate
so animals busted their cell gate 

Priorly animals were in an enclosure
Now they are getting free exposure
Self-centred humans cared mostly about themselves
but now the animal kingdom is the cynosure
Animals were shut in cages
and now human activity is under similar closure. 

Ah, this corona crisis!
Is all this mercenary stasis
for humans a roasting nemesis? 

A heavy price to pay for rapacious carelessness and arrogance
where humans acted like they are in control, like they
are controllers of this planet
and they could do anything they wish with it.
It's ignorance to think all this is mere coincidence. 

Im relieved our Islamic prayers can be said any place, anywhere
to kneel and bow to the one true real sustainer of the universe.


We need to invoke and supplicate to the creator
who is still in control...
as prayer can really truly prevent fear and anxiety in such scary times.


"I suddenly realised that coincidence is a word we use when we are ignorant of the real causes." - Albert Salvadó

Weekly Market recap : A Tale of Trends and Turns


In the markets, a wounded dollar sighs,
IEA cuts oil demand, to no surprise.
Stocks stride to records, touching the sky,
With eyes on CPI, the reason why.

The Japanese yen, in decline it stays,
Interest rate differentials pave the ways.
The Fed needs low inflation signs, they wait,
For CPI results to decide their fate.

Bitcoin speculation, 2.8 million hold tight,
In the worst performing price cycle’s plight.
European banks set to cut rates soon,
EUR/USD climbs, a one-month boon.

China’s probe into EU trade barriers thickens,
As June CPI trends downward, rate cut quickens.
Pepsi earnings watched, stocks tread still,
Investors brace for inflation’s will.

JP Morgan upgrades Malaysia’s grade,
Policy reforms and progress made.
CPI data lower than we thought,
Markets soar, in gains they’re caught.

WTI oil shows bearish trends,
Investors shun junk bonds, as bankruptcy ascends.
South Korea fears Trump’s second round,
JP Morgan expects Fed cuts abound.

Market’s bullish momentum extends,
US inflation cools, rate cut trends.
Will China’s bank boost its economy’s fire?
June CPI’s cut path higher.

Wall Street climbs on inflation’s ease,
Yet big tech slumps, investors seize.
Trump’s win could Bitcoin’s value inflame,
JPY’s intervention remains the same.

China’s exports rise, imports fall,
BoJ intervenes, inflation stalls.
ECB slow on cuts, poll shows,
Commodities rise, US CPI glow.

Pound sterling rises, gold retreats,
Higher bond yields, USD beats.
Yen’s rally pauses, intervention denied,
Turkey’s back, emerging market’s pride.

Unnoticed, Unseen

I woke up one day
Unnoticed, unseen
The sparrows were chirping
Did not mind me between

I poked them gently
The sparrows got scared
Seeing them fly
I went mad

I ran out into the streets
Naked and free
Hurled pebbles on passersby
Watched them flee with glee

I felt like a king
In this blind men’s paradise
Shocking poor fellows at will
Making fun of their cries

I was shaken hard
By someone I could not see
I rubbed my eyes
Could see only darkness around me

It was my mother
She put me on her lap
Tears filled my eyes
As I went into recap

I wished my dreams were true
I could see the world go blind
Why O Lord, 
You robbed away my sight
What was my fault, 
You made me Blind

The after

The after

What happens after?
When what was loud is now silent
Where a place once filled with cameras go unnoticed 
What once made history is now forgotten 

Later
On TV they'll be a recap
The story will go
They'll manipulate the situation 
Bonus if its told by a republican
They'll say
The police were peaceful, we'll be labelled as criminals
I guess it's opposite day
As in fact it was the other way
 
Those who will clean up
Will cry whilst they simultaneously wipe their eyes and wipe peoples blood up
Yes it was violent 
No it wasn't us

But you'll never know
As the real story will be locked up

From Bottled Up Rage

Daily app pair rent
     revelation, observation, and
     intimation invariably concludes,
     this aging baby
     boomer (albeit youthful)
     inescapably lock up
     (until death me part)
     inside complex edifice
 
     re: guarding self made trap
rocketing into orbitz
     of mine twilight years thrusts,
     upon this pop (sic) crack
     kill forcibly to snap
attention back into
     the present, yet unable
     to shake off feeling dismayed,

     viz hit ting head
     with bleak recap
cha regular basis finds me
     reassessing, reliving, 
     and reviewing
psychologically pock
     marked scarred
     psyche indelibly mapped

e'er since this narrator hapt
     tubby a little boy at
     tender preschool age
his esprit de corp
     joie de vivre analogous
     to a rat locked
     in an undersize invisible cage
devoid of emotional, physical,

     and spiritual equipage
with 20/20 hindsight, I attest,
     he seemed bereft
     of empathy gauge
as attested by donning
     slovenly swiftly tailored,
     unkempt harried styled
     appearance, a foiled image

that any stranger, family
     member, or classmate
     could discern, sans
     intuitive knowledge
     Hawaii didst poorly manage
thyself and island
     did self smoldering

Of Tales, the Stuff of Legends

Great are his exploits
honour and rank
he's celebrated
he's immortalized
He's fondly recalled
Back to memory

The great legends of Old.. 
Great Chief Waiyaki wa Hinga..
Aged nine he killed a lion
with his bare hands...
When the imperialist came.. Waiyaki..
Raised a huge Army armed with bows and arrows

Testing the might of the staff which spat fire
Fore told by the great seer Mugo Wa Kibiru..

                      ..see people dressed like butterflies
                      they come from the sea of the hawk 
                     and move on an iron caterpillar to the
                  lake of the eagle.. they carry a walking staff
                which spits fire killing instantly... your weapons
                 will be useless when faced with this magical staff..

The great seer advised the people to learn
The pale skinned colonizers magic..
At right time armed with the right knowledge
The land of the slopes of Kerenyaga..
Will be liberated by its sons

The mountain of splendor and mysteries
Where people since ages ago have offered prayers
To the Supreme Deity Ngai Murungu..
Who is all loving and of good virtual 
The supreme deity's Prophet Mugo wa Kibiru...
Is office of the chief seer..

Water Tabernacle the resting place of - Managi
The greatest Holy relic and the Box that is the relic

I  recap they say Great Chief Waiyaki
Was betrayed by the pale colored..
foe he had called blood brother..
Angry Waiyaki took out his favorite club..

Mathiokore.. it was nicknamed..
Within minutes brains of the Great captain 
were scattered on our rich soils
The invaders captured Waiyaki..
Our great Chief and opened his skull

Waiyaki died not.. they buried him alive
Head facing downwards.. Great Chief..
You should have heeded the Great seers
prophecy..

       
...don't allow the butterflies to enter your homesteads...

Buried alive.. 
Immortal Warrior king fate

The annual pilgrimage around
Kereenyaga - the abode of Ngai
Goes on each year.. pilgrims
Make seven stops as they
Circumbulate the Holy Mountain..

Of stories and more stories from the land
Where gods.. immortals.. and mortals
Rub shoulders looking each other..
Eye to eye... tales of KENYA

Premium Member Not One But Four a Recap

Who are the British, do they exist,
these nationals of her Britannic majesty
too often shortened to ‘ Brit’.

Four  score years, and more
I’ ve walked this shore but ‘Brit’
I see not, from where I, sit.

A kingdom united, yes that
rings a bell, but, am I
a ‘Brit’; No, No, so  let me tell

of Four Kingdoms, as one, England
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This
quartet, the crux of my tale.

Many things each maybe, ..but never
a ‘Brit’. We are Scot, Irish, Welsh
or English..now do you see ?

Each nation, unique and distinct,
language reinforces my point, as in
English, not British, this poem I ink

An Evening On the Anping Beach

A free and calm evening
You, the Anping beach and me
Quiet, cloudy, and lonely
Few hampered noises 
The ocean conquest the entire atmosphere
Angry clouds hide the sun
No flashlights can replace the sun
Clouds are floating to add color to the sunset
Too much gathering cover the sun
One more day in my life has set before the sunset
The gentle and cold wind chilled my shaved face
Huge rock block on the shore breaking the exciting waves
You can listen to their pain from the roar when they return
Darkness grasp the happiness
Waves are raising 
The dry sands are satisfied with the salty water
The sand is soft, scattering, and splish-splash between my toes
Oyster shells are along the shore
I can smell the ocean and feel the grain of sand
We walked along the beach
Left our footprints on the back
I looked back to see my footsteps
Few waves gently crashing them in front of my eyes
I was helpless. Then the waves kissed my legs
Makes me realize I am nothing more than a small sand grain
Move on or crash down 
You are singing death!
I hear the breathes and roars
A passionate battle between the sources of life
When the wave approach towards us, we run away
The waves turn back correspondingly for we are unwilling to embrace it
Though we like the ocean and beach 
We often afraid to make our clothes and shoes wet 
In our life too we recap the same comportment
Even though we want someone, we are so scared to hug them
We are afraid to acknowledge the love and feeling 
Not because we are shy, but we are weak
Weaker than the sands on the beach
The waves break the dirt down
Washed ashore, move them up and down 
In the face of everything, even now they embrace the waves
Mollifies and send them back to the ocean
Love of sand calms the angry and boisterous waves
