Modern day slavery
The world drowns us in problems Then expects us to breathe solutions In a society that demands whispers of lullabies rocking them to sleep Whilst we deal with the havoc they wreak Safe in the silence of their homes Black women have to deal with the chaos outside alone The white man's mess becomes the black persons job Our...

Modern Day Macbeth
A mother walks through bullets for bread A child through shellfire for a sip of grain Young girls bleed in corners quietly Toddlers die in mothers' arm from thirst. This is the plot, world is writing on, Poets, presidents, painters even parrots all scribbling words on rubbles and ruins. An aid truck hums like ice cream van drawing children to their deaths. Graves are...

Modern Consternations of Lament
Modern Consternations of Lament Contradictions and formulations of thought that bridge the edges of time Benedictions and combinations that evolve into the refined Jurisdictions and innovations that are galvanised by crime Crucifixions in the courtyards of those who draw the cursed lines A damsel in distress crying for all the loss that cannot be expressed A shadow of progress dying...

Passing Through The Moment
Passing Through The Moment Aesthetic communion for an artist in a ghetto Prosthetic student union that is only there for the power show Anaesthetic ex-communion for a doctor who does not want to go Prophetic graceful union of the ones who seem to always know Consummate reliance on another person for your relief Don’t abdicate defiance...

Premium Member Modern Poet's Pinball Machine
Roll up to the amusement arcade. Behold all the video games you can play - Dodgem car driving games, smash-'em-up derbies. Claw-crane lunge-and-snag-a-toy games, Pop-a-shot in basketball hoops, Pac-Man, Mario, Galaga, Street Fighter. Way-back in the far shadowy back corner is the Old ‘Pinball-For-Poesy’ Machine, with lights blazing like a disco-machine. “5 Stanzas Fires for a Buck,” reads the sign. Come on, Come on, give...

Still the Dust Sings
after ‘The waste Land’, by T.S. Eliot I met a woman on a glitching screen, her face a whisk of pixels and prayer. She spoke of shattered systems and survived code, “The cloud remembers everything,” she said, "but forgets what matters.” A rat hurried through my feed at dawn, past memes and headlines, each a kind...
