Resistance On The Iberian Peninsula

“Liberté, égalité, fraternité (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity),”
Scream French revolutionists as they guillotine monarchists heads, 1
Then crown Napoleon Bonaparte Emperor of France, 2
Who commands the French forces in wars raged across Europe.

Like the twelfth
juror in the play
I must say I am not
convinced
For I know a recipe
for trouble 
I have seen the
double standards
And I do not approve
this for Kenya
I will never approve
it, and neither
Would you, dear
friend of...

This could be a victim of predator-like paradise in disguise of a nightmare...you're greater than you think...I give you more credit than what you for yourself - think that through, why don't you?

Un-Bear-A-Ble

Used in the wrong way and feeling like a useless bug on the ground...having faith and wearing a smile during hardships...was I an experiment in this crooked society? Seriously?

When somewhere else lie our beings
Uncared  for  in inarticulate shores,

By  debris  left of uprisings.
Before the delayed departure
Does our bliss alight for a while

like dreams
and other multiculturing complexities,
process
and sometimes progress into becoming ripe,
then unbecoming dormancy,
advent of and for regardening

network of polycultural dream garden nutrition,
aesthetic nurture,
ethical nature,

HARMONY 69
The night of twelfth December `69  
knotted together an icy storm wind 
that whipped False bay`s waves

on a dark, rough...

More gains are his only notion.

Power blinds his wretched mind,
Oh! His deeds put all to the grind.

Another New Year
Expect a new threat
Accept a new scare
Confect some more fears

I walk the lane 'neath giant oaks,
vast canopies of green,
and view the mansion at path's end,
a sight I've never seen.

My mind begins to picture
those precious days of old,

with history yet...

Do I fly into another day without you?

With wings of a luminescent swan,
I swoop towards heavenly certainties
Holding each verse your breaths create
On our virgin parchment

Do I dream another dream for serendipity’s touch?

A touch against crevices’...
