In sleep..Deepest sleep, does the body not move.? For lying too long on just one
Side is bad? I believe that is true.? We turn right to left, all unaware, as ( the body )
Regulates by innate care.' So being on the
Left indefinatley will stress your skin crush blood in transit, cause pain within
The same for the right, do not stay forever
Maybe a while on the back, will suit you better.? A simple enough theisis, but practical truth..Could it be applied to politics.? Would it help somewhat.? In
Valuing balance.? Does it allow a plot.?
As in seamanship? A course to follow for
The body of a country, maybe we all
should on just not? swallow..That the right side or the left, are the only choice.'
Available is discernment, treat it not as naught.' Maybe better for the body of a country, to have chance to move? And
Before retiring to the bed,
in making; slip off real heavy shoes ?
Men,
I think I'm color blind
The way I see, no color on the skin
Is white lucid?
Or is it black being hazy
Ain't no love for White
Neither loyalty for Black
Don't just be preaching Black Lives Matter
How about if we all matter
Speak against discrimination
Men, speak against segregation
It's all against the laws of God
Remember, we all created
In the image and likeness of God
I bet, therefore, you and I should hold hands
Our conscience is rational
That means our thoughts need to be radical
For whether we work for good or evil
We'll all be judged on the same scale
And it's either the promised Heaven
Or the bottomless Hell
Surviving Pawn
No need of UN peacekeepers in DRCongo
As they seemed to fail their mission
after some decades.
Many Congolese accused the UN militaries
to support the rebel troops in many part of Southern , Nothern Kivu and Ituri provinces.
Few days back ,
some civilians marched peacefully,
while claiming the depart of UN peacekeepers
as they were caught many times supplying munissions
to some rebels.
It happened many times for the rebels to hide
in UN military bases when they were ambushed
by the Congolese national defence forces.
The people who marched were shot by four complice militaries who refused to point the commander
who gave them orders to shoot on civilians
who claimed their rights.
It caused a bed tension in the entire country for some days.
The government officials decided for the swift of UN peacekeepers in the entire country to please people
who are tired of them from twenty six years
in that useless UN peace mission.

Many of them are
rather shallow and almost silly,
and also extremely
poisonous like many species of lily
(at least those in my beloved country)
assassination
the other side paid in gold
blood on these plaid streets
Body Politic
David J Walker
The shooting never stops
Until the bullets are all gone and the
Bombs are all dropped on the city streets
in the way of a foreign
Body politic
Declaring a breach of its borders
And ironically orders an invasion
So goes the persuasion of
Defensive strategies and arguments
Concerning armaments
Employing the services of accountants
Keeping death tolls and destruction
And payments to
Widows and orphans
Veterans with lost limbs
Trying to remember when
Things were different
Back then
This notice to public,
For a vacancy,diplomatic,
To serve people civic,
Here come symbolic-
Not much on academic,
May not know Alphabetic,
No need Arithmetic,
Ignore all Ethic,
Nothing about Logic,
Not much on technic,
Married to calls,telephonic,
Depending on statistic,
Working not systematic,
Not much on geographic,
Always on picnic,
Places of historic,
Busy like Olympic,
Not much on economic,
Talk all comic,
For every thing critic,
Not much on genetic,
Enough,no lunatic,
Prove via clinic,
Belly up to Arctic,
Back down Antarctic,
Not much on tactic,
Actions all Astatic,
Vanishing like magic,
Possess all said symbolic,
Apply,the job politic!

I cling to Thee
With all of My beliefs'
- And -
Surrender all of My
Doubts' of Severity
Fore You are the Mighty
Of the Most High
------
Much more Noble
Than I,

Your Moral Indignation
Is non consequential to My
Outer most discretion'
Poet Author

Tired of the media
stories on the news
a massive hysteria
that's not something new
I see people dying
living in poverty
I see the government does nothing
this is the reality
I wished all turned right
so all of us can sleep well at night
when I looked into the city light
do we all ate well, do we all feeling alright?
when I can't do anything, I prayed
hoped this world gets better, I prayed
hoped the children will grow well, I prayed
hoped they will save this earth, oh I prayed
Tired of the war
When people asked for what reason
well it's all politic
We give money to pay the tax
the government say it can save the nation
yet nothing is changed, it even getting worse
well it's all politic
Be careful, Acirema
torrential are the rains
that befall your treeless soil.
Be careful, Acirema
denial is a river that runs deep
unfathomable the depths of your flooded streams.
Be careful, Acirema
what gloom, your squandered potential
retain from times wasted your dwindling remnants of era.
Be careful, Acirema
of your copious memorials, in their heaps
your decrepit utopia craves no more.
Be careful, Acirema
shelve your inner warrior
snarling and catalogued, let it collect dust.
Be careful, Acirema
your prized infinity may conclude
should your grudging manner made an infinite.
politic
dare on international cogressen
even ap til a 1000 times say respect
fore the peoples rights
the basic of the new world order is
but it doesn't mean any thing
if the moreley law
not have the respect of
the nature
the universum
our one existents
