unpredictability

devotion

potential
     denied
authoritative 
    yet
      unruly

The Grandfather

A grandfather
Is a little bit parent
A little bit teacher
A little bit soldier
And a little bit best friend.

His words are laws
To ponder with
To followed with
To learn with
To gain with.

He's the source of bread
A living example
A good provider
A good father
And a follower.

In him true men breed
The little ones look up to
The standard of maturity
The source all men of courage
The warrior leader of patronage.

Political patronage

Donated Clothes are so wrong
hand down offerings
Tired and dusted threads
of political patronage
Turn your heads
the public have had enough
Donated clothes are so wrong
why mast your colours ?
You know you've blown it
when the people have been passed over

Premium Member The Moral Compass

The bombs of justice overcome the bombs of terror
The drones of peace fight back the drones of war
Some gnostics claimed this world was the God’s error
I rather think about the error 404 
The moral compass has not been updated
Since 1970s, it wiggles every way
According to the graphs the most outdated
Drawn from the dust of ancient blood stains
A bunch of modern noahs build new ark
Which in the fit of patronage they do
All gimmegrants and askers come to mark
Their presence in the nest of grand cuckoo 
I was there too, but didn’t warble my requests
Thinking that come and go would do me better
Than if I’d stay as cuckoo fledgeling in that nest
I was mistaken, but it doesn’t really matter.

Premium Member Andrew Jackson At New Orleans

Poor soldier Andrew Jackson who
Attacked the British after peace 
Was signed three weeks before at Ghent.
Unnecessary bravery 
Is no less admirable for that.
He waves to patrons eating their
Beignets at the Café Du Monde.
Astride a horse, saluting with
His bicorn hat, and stern of face,
He looks less menacing than if
They cast him brandishing a sword.
But who can blame his victory
(Redundant though his conquest was),
The English might have occupied
The Crescent City, New Orleans.


Between Lake Ponchatrain and Gulf
Of Mexico the land is boggy here.
Once rains would pelt Orleans and make
A flood enough for fetid pools.
Pine coffins bobbed and knocked aloud
Discouraging the patronage
Of all the working girls for weeks. 
But that was long before the war.
And British and Americans
Were mostly buried on high ground.
So no unnecessary dead
Were ever disinterred by rains
And washed some parishes away
Without their names on coffin lids
To now or ever be reclaimed.


Be Mindful Sierra Leoneans

Bad, worse and worst we grow, oh poor Sierra Leoneans
We seem to know our rights, but honestly we do not;
Instead we misunderstand them:
How can we fight for our rights against one who defends them?

Our situation is escalating to its peak.
We are damn harming ourselves, and not the upright man!
How folly is this thought:
To wander about the street in the name of demonstration?

For I tell you: we are destroying our little development.
If ethics would permit me to speak,
We are not prudent to do such!
And you, Mr. upright man, 
You ought to patronage your people

In their impediments and hardship;
And not to add to their problems.
Uniform men, control your frigging weapons!

You were not employed to murder
But to defend and secure.
In all, we are all guilty—
None is exempt!
Let us be mindful about our country's future.

Parent Threatens To Withdraw School Child

Promote my Charles to the next class.
I know The Idiot did not pass.
Yet, I’d tell ears you have to,
Whether to it or not prone to…

Hundred percent sure you need it,
No need digging collective pit:
Your school from head to toe Private;
Rather few of your staff Graduate
Among them A Clark Porter,
Who is eyeing my young daughter
Some while walking on Doughnuts snack,
For mischief-making quite a knack;
One I saw bubble gum chew,
On her blouse stains from a rushed stew…

My patronage likely to cease;
And Donated School Bus seize.

a comic-tragedy in days of yoreda
He used State patronage you see
then a socially desirable policy

Premium Member Wisdom

Rumors of spirituality, rumors of knowledge,
Kings and queens of the past rumored it wisdom.

Rumors of its very existence hail patronage,
Providing comfort through a baby's thumb.

Time engulfs solidifying thoughts,
Traveling faster than the speed of light.

A spiritual transference like Pandora's box,
Opens with insatiable appetite.

We assist mistakes, seeking to be free,
But the rumors of spirituality linger, endlessly.

We hold onto hope, we grasp at faith,
Searching for truth in an endless race.

The rumors of spirituality, the rumors of knowledge,
They guide us on our journey,
Towards a brighter tomorrow,
Where our spirits can be set free.

Westphalian so prolific  
Charles  I patronage made him tick

Challenged Nigerian Pharmacists

The Roadside Medicine Sellers
Are Pharmacists' bold tellers
Of an enduring contest
Not unlike a weighted test!

Ever waxing Drug Dealers
Competing as Sure Healers
But spinning laughing profits
For all their being cursed misfits!

Shame to legalizing Laws
Unbolting illegal doors,
Patent Medicine - obtained Rights
A From - Reality Fool's flights 
That often drop a body
For a post -  Morten study

What a crazy patronage
Of Butchers in Tactful Age
Hardly like us for neck ties
Their tie - free neck for loud lies

Oh' how their shelves kick with drugs 
In their stores Persian Rugs
Their Sales' Facilitators
The Non - Stop Oscillators 


Admit men ,though, we're the cause 
Before customers long pause 
Smiles not customer- friendly
Handshakes not given grandly
Lordly prices for packets
The released picture Rackets.

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
