He was turbulent, fearful, and a dipsomaniac. He was dead to the target, undeniable emulation of his father. So I've been told.
Equated with many of his uneducated and socially stigmatized peers, starting at an early age he worked menial jobs until he married and asserted himself to a position on a cargo ship as a Merchant Seaman. So I've been told.
He traveled the world and had many long tales to share. Tales when spread made him a hero of many causes, and these inflated tales rein the peninsula and many compared him with John Henry and Jack Johnson. So I've been told.
He was a tall sepia man with a handsome face that was divinely chiseled to the image of Hermes. So I've been told.
He was a courageous bull that suffered his demise at the hands of his enemy. So I've been told.
He was a vigorous bear with broad shoulders that expanded forever like the Baeke plateau and was a comforting pillow for my weary head.
His legs when stretched out from a sitting position was a nuisance, a tripping device for a young child whose vision was aimed high when walking by.
He smelled of stale tobacco and Old Spice.
His tatami cheeks pricked fingers to the touch with delightful pain.
His long fingers with soil underneath its horny protective covering could move swiftly over finger plates of a saxophone or skillfully up and down the fretted neck of a guitar if he, so willed. Yet he titillated my ribs, under my arms and the soles of my feet.
His voice vociferated like thunder at his adversaries and changed to an astonishing softer degree when he called my name. This I know and so you are now being told.

To the left and right of him
crowds raged, protested,
chanted, pleaded, sloganized,
stigmatized and demonized.
The center of the road seemed empty
yet there a child stood alone
irresolutely.
"Mr.," it asked,
"Why do people form groups,
gangs, identifying as ethnic identities, factions
or political opposites?"
( He was an intelligent kid)
"Sonny," he said
patting the little tyke on the head,
"It's because when 3 or more humans
gather together, they get dumb,
they get tribal,
they stop thinking for themselves
and forget to question
the collective view of things."
The boy seemed to consider this,
then yelled "You ain't my dad."
kicking him in the shin.
"Damn anarchist.''
the guy mumbled, limping away.
For greener pastures
He quests the no man's land.
Unknown to him, Goodies splatter
at his bosom...
His abode,
A village where olds
are stigmatized:
Witches and Wizards.
To be old is a sin.
Deep into the Night
He exits to defecate
the spirit of the darkness:
thick and wild.
birds squeal, ants whistle.
Evils are deed of the night.
Daylight, innocence rbeads
on every face... he perceives.
He feared more evils
Dreams and screams to life
Leaves him to wonder...
Soon he will leave
So, he thinks always
River at the village extreme
Domestics, works and life depend
Behold she appears
Black ebony and beautiful
The mermaid (Iyemoja);
the river goddess beckons
half human
Half fish
Alas! he turns back
fly the calabash away
and take to his heels
indeed, he halucinates
He feared more evils
Dreams and screams to life
Leaves him to wonder
Soon he will leave
So, he thinks always
The voice of the spirit calls:
Sojourner to no man's land
Reasearch and discover the goodies
at home
For,
if you sojourn for years
one day you return home
If the goats seek survival at daylight
at dawn it returns home
Heed the words of the elders
Remember.
Where would we be without a second chance?
Will you ever forget that pit in your stomach?
That hollow, empty feeling when
'The love of your life' walked out the door?
Is life really over, is all lost, after one failed romance?
Yes, it may feel that way for a while
But then we take a deep breath
Sigh a great sigh
And move on to love's second dance
What of the lad who steals from a store
An apple, a bar of candy, or even more?
Do we lock him up and institutionalize him
Or find out why --- empathize with him
What of the schoolgirl who plagiarizes
For an innocent mistake -- forever stigmatized?
Or do we simply explain her the duty to give credit
When citing sources or quoting from the internet
Learning how to drive all too often engenders
Minor mishaps: Rear-enders or fender-benders
Is that cause to give up forever -- an ignominious end?
Or do we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off
~ and try, try again?!
Recall now the humble beginnings of number twenty-three
The greatest basketball player the world ever did see
At age 15 Michael Jordan was cut from his high school team
Did he up and quit the sport, or determinedly set out
~ to realize his dream?!
Be it in love or in school, we all get played for a fool
Pray tell, where would we be with no second chance?

So they came to a point when it looks inevitable
Like that happened with numbers one and two
And like ages ago, it seems inexplicable
Wars grow like a garden of stones can grew
Stigmatized, victimized for some abstract aim
That shall be proclaimed as our sacred duty
After halcyon days we have lost the game
War returns refreshed, the peace outputted
So it turns out that the need for war
Coincides with the need for mass subjugation
We are forced to resist the most vile foe
And the foe says exactly the same of our nation
Politicians speak out their viral war dances
Intellectuals get infected the most
The commons must use the god given chances
To save the values, with their lives cost
Bloody values are valued more than all lives
The insane metaphysics of global war
Still works, for the few think to be glorified
That's the godsent fate they were made for
The rulers desire for mass destruction
Has not yet been properly understood
Still the missles are deemed as the best action
To protect the neighbours from neighbourhood
Go on, warriors, passport every leaf on a tree
Take control over every move people make
Slander a natural right to be free
Trash a thought of peace as an enemy’s fake
Pray yer old bloody god at the early dawnings
Abide to old customs, innate hatred to strangers
Though one of them stares at you every morning
From the mirror, and looks like an old acquaintance.

Agony, grief and particularly anger
roil these lovely bones
life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
exempts those graced with darker skin tones.
Rather than raucously riot,
I craft emotions courtesy poetry
mine feeble attempt to agitate and protest
sublimated thru scathing poetic indictment
lame contrasted against violent protests.
Peaceable methodology,
(viz printed word) versus war
preferable mode to conflict resolution
opposed to explosive uproar
angry frenzied mob scenes as seen online, or
alternate mass communication medium
valiantly, yet vanely attempt to even out score.
Tipping point evincing breached injustices,
(whereby persons sporting greater melanin)
triggered spontaneous outbursts
(bedlam witnessed while safely sequestered
within Highland Manor apartment
unit B44 May 31st, 2020).
Innocent lives, particularly
those who proudly identify themselves
purportedly black targeted merely because
genetics crafted them darker hued skin
unwittingly and unfairly
site them in crosshairs
where strong arm of the law
indiscriminately takes their life.
Despite genetics bequeathing me Caucasian
(predominantly Eastern European - Semitic features)
with one percent Neanderthal man
thrown in for good measure),
yours truly dispirited,
dismantled, and disgruntled
née disenchanted linkedin
with *****sapiens.
Neither railing nor ranting
can alleviate injustice
visited upon heads and torsos of innocent
Americans, whose genealogy traced to
Africa, Australia, Haiti, Melanesia, Papua
New Guinea and South Asia.
Because they and/or forebears
hailed from areas with highest ultraviolet
radiation in the world,
subsequent generations automatically
serve as fodder stigmatized cradle to grave.

studious sexagenarian skinny scruffy scribe
My utmost humblest apology
for inducing the following
cerebral calisthenics upon your cranium,
but the cost of friendship

I’m dead in my heart
you killed me by the sword lips
oh! what a killer sight you have
I’m banned in my heart
O beauty
you sovereign my poetry
I’m ruined in your cheek dimple,
your neckline locks me up like the snake mating
through the whispering of fairy tale I’m sting by the pearl teeth
oh I’m tippled in illusory Nymph
I’m hurt by the watery life
I’m imprisoned in the gleaning forest of watery grave
your fawned eyes, alcoholic nose, swan cheeks
bow lips, body like the road of springtime
arrest me here in this valentine’s gibbet
kisses, your weapon kill me blamelessly
where the verse of God curse me devilishly
distinguish me
I’m a true believer of love
sheer straight forward I’m in me
I’m in no game as well as no fame
I’m in your love
where you’re the heart of valentine
where you’re blooming my poems pulse
couplet of love in my wine cup
rotating on the mystical drinking path
now I’m namesake piece of heart
in the alluring light of your eyes,
stigmatized when I’m shot by the love arrow,
the ripped heart floating on the river of sorrow
valentine has come
also you may come
I have no complain against you
to dead heart you may come also
wedding lock the ring
may bring to make link
on the epithet blossomed flower
for the true love I surely capture

A different weapon conceived in Wuhan
A Poisoned Jab?
Don't ask me.
The sky is no longer brilliant with the tint of Truth
A strange world this,
These covert crime overlooked by justice.
communism seeks dominance by invention,
Pollutes the air, subjecting all to speculations,
The Marxist shuts her door from investigation.
A gas inhaled needing a cure,
The media accomplice for dictators.
Pharmaceutical rushed to the lab with different names,
A greed controlled world.
opinion censored to stiffen logical thinkers.
disputing every solution to offer their Greek gift,
And the guessing of bourgeois with synthetic substance.
in less than a year,
human experiment called a Vaccine.
no time to observe efficacy.
Celebrities rushed for Jabs for the Camera
advertising to lure the hesitant intelligent,
The media invades homes with propaganda.
globalist compelling all by Force.
luring the greedy with a flat-out Bribe
Take vaccine and win a Million dollars, they say.
Close your brain as you wear imposed Mask
disfigured beauty stigmatized by unverified suspicions.
Suddenly the Origin of Corona are Okay.
Wuhan and the entire China are Covid free with closed door.
China dictates global economy by obstruction,
Just a Button from a Lab,
globalist becomes advocates for Vaccines,
denying you of Voluntary consent,
The first Jab becomes a second Jab,
Then a Third being conceived,
Oh! you still have it after the Vaccine they say,
Of what use is it then?
A question you must not ask.
Then they began a naming ceremony to confuse us.
Alpha,
Beta,
Gamma,
Delta they say.
From
censorship,
to propaganda,
Then shaming,
after that bonanza or Bribery,
gradually they take your rights away through cohesion and Force.
As china Laugh the world to stupor.
Is China winning a war without a gun?
Think! think! think again.
