I'm riding the train into town, Enjoying the suburban scenery. And here it comes -- a poetry idea! I know it's an idea 'Cause it rides beside me: Something about the riders As they all crowd the train, Rushing, sitting, reading. I'd like to share with the man on the next seat. But no! he doesn't want to hear from me. I'm walking west on...

In a realm once pure, where stories were shared, A new world arrived, yet no one was prepared. Young hands that once worked with skill and grace Now swipe on screens, lost in the race. They dream of fame and riches untold, But in return, their secrets are sold. A click, a share, and trust is gone- Privacy is lost as the...

Chaos has its own grace, a beauty hard to embrace. They say it leads the way, a way nobody dares to obey! Living only where it sways, they say they hate the disarray. Where peace feels so far away, Who needs order, anyway?!...

In the spaces between heartbeats, Where time stretches thin as spring leaves of poet-trees blowing in the breeze, I catch glimpses of you living In a universe adjacent to mine. There, the sky burns violet at dawn, And trees grow downward, reaching For a core of molten starlight While gravity plays different songs. You drink tea made from moonflowers, Write letters with crystallized rain, And speak...

In a world of faces, I'm lost in the crowd A master of mimicry, but my true self's avowed I change with the seasons, like leaves on the tree A chameleon's camouflage, to blend in with glee. I've tried on many faces, like masks in a play Hoping to find my true self, but it slips away I've copied the confident,...

The land, where gods once trod Has kindness withered, lost to rot? Naivety is not kindness Trusting is not blindness Adoption is not a taboo It is not a crime to have a tattoo. They crash big trees with veins withered bare, And all we do is see their dead remains in despair. They whisper on women, they murmur on the state, They...

“STANDARDS” Let’s talk about the standards of the general society, And not just society, the beliefs, normalizations and false norms believed by variety, We live in a new world now whereas being your most authentic self is not just enough, And then you begin to question yourself and society calls your bluff, The truth however is that everything the society...

ALPHA BETA As I understand it Back in the distant past Communication was at first, verbal Distinct, if limited Every tribe began with its own Finding it a challenge across boundaries Getting an understanding, the first step However difficult it may have been In delving deep into facial expressions Just as tribes began to share stories Kinsfolk with greater vision Laid down a simple written code More in...

You can bleed me blind, execute my eyes, victimize my vision, immolate my imagery, nullify my name, suppress me into silence, slaughter my soul, execute my ego, slay my spirit, veil my verses, poison my prose, annihilate my alliterations, ravage my rhymes, waste my words, vaporize my vocabulary, halt my heartbeats, but you will never pause...

"I am because we are," a truth profound, In Ubuntu's philosophy, our humanity's found. Our shared existence, interconnectedness so strong, In unity we thrive, together we belong. To be truly human, the first maxim shows, Recognize others' worth, let empathy flow. Through others, our mirror, humanity's reflected, Respectful relations bloom, connections perfected. When choices arise, wealth or life to save, Opt for life's...

For twenty years I have walked my curvy tree lined street, and there're neighbors I have yet to meet, I look into the windows of the oblong and squares, and wonder about the people who live in there, I was once a happy and energetic child of the nineteen seventies, now I'm saddened and tired by modernity of the twenty...
