Long Scourges Poems

A Progressive Shadow

A series of real challenges and troubling world events 
In our twenty-first century give us a definite reason and

Our world today—more than at any other...

My subject is nothing new.  It's been around since Adam and Eve.  Like the 
snake and the apple.

It's the enabled kid who throws a ball through a window, while the enablers, his parents,...

July 25th, 1996 tied the Gordian knot,...
(I spent noose cents)
begot deux daughters, the major events
both since flew cuckoo's nest,
the eldest angry at papa for offense

sieve behavior fatherly bond
forever sundered permanent rents
unforgiving progeny vents

before the crushing force of the furious...

In our life, each of us had a question,
That needed an answer, or a just explanation.
A most common question to most common people,
A question that penetrates one’s heart and soul:
“What is this? What’s happening in...

Have a true  story to tell

It, may not be a best seller

At times my world is foggy and nippy

rainy and droopy..

I am rolled in a niche of fickleness

My colors and glory may be  blurred with  mist

And my sun is shaded with grey 

Or may...

MISERY
Life and death
Entails the other
When I die where will I go? 
So I wonder?
What is life?
And the essence of living
If the world was created free

We surely do need him now Him now.
How do we get help from Him?

We should stop trying,
 To fix situations ourselves.
Gather our burdens,
And down...

Such a violent world we live in
Hard to know just what to do
For example both my mom and dad
Have slapped and spanked me too
But nowadays some choose a path

I stand alone a barking tree, where silent sorrows of ripples flee,
No one hears my calamity, wearing weeps of my raped reality…
Branches droop to ice-cold ground, solitudes surface of their drowned,
Abysmal anguish of leaves have...

I am Liberia!
Though scared by scourges of allien spades,
My resilience bears the fountain of heaven's grace,
Piercing the pangs of all my shades!

My independence, I breathed into Africa's lungs,
Clothed her with my stripes, the red, white...

[Daughters of Lamia]
Today we walk from our graves
You can't  wish, pray it away
The Inflamed Coven's emerged
You Will receive what you deserve
Retribution of the flaming shade
Your Malice will be paid, In Harm's way

Planet Earth, good things are starting to grow,
Revitalised, energised, all aglow,
Inspired by change to this fresh season so

Dormant aspirations lie in winter's fallow ground
Burgeoning freedom furrowed in shallow soil; sovereign elements do pound
Infertile seeds in barren hearths tightly wound
A cold wind from on high scourges each, desolate mound
A dreary drizzle from hovering,...

faceless faces that conform
evil hands history's born

rage of one controls all

guilty verdict truth is rushed

hollow lives in a hollow world

You are the stern firm hand of discipline
