I learnt what respect truly means, The weight of pain and quiet devotion, The love behind being a soldier— Dying for a nation that might forget you. Even retiring feels like a battle won. The Doctor too saves lives, Sweating with a racing...

I am not a preacher! I am not a preacher Who preaches love and kindness But when my pen and paper collide They leave no stone unturned And no life unchanged. I am not a doctor With a stethoscope dangling in the neck But when words runs through my fingertips They mend broken hearts And heal wounded souls. I am not a sergeant...

What be Ye, Preacher or Mortician? A mortician prepares and buries the remains. The hole he or she digs is for a lifeless corps, free of soul. And the eulogy is of poppies and the utterance of past misdeeds restrained. A preacher lifts and builds the spirit with truth. The gates he or she illuminates is for souls of the...

I venture out For the first time in a while And am met by a sight: A Saturday Street Preacher, His altar an upturned crate, Voice amplified by a tinny megaphone.

The child of a certain perception, Among your kinfolks poor reception, You just can’t endure irritation: It could make you leave your own nation, White men’s world declare your new station, Face the challenge of imitation… Then, it’s all yours: A quick migration, Your legs not swollen for gyration; On foot you cross waiting borders, Dumping your unreceptive brothers! For those with no more...

Mixed with crimson and covered with wool. They receive with hope the spell of the gospel. His voice calls with mercy to devour innocent lambs waiting jauntily to be sacrificed on the altar of earth. Come to me ye labourers and I will grant you rest in a place of no return. One by one, heads of blessings are counted and preserved in knackery. Blood speaks and births miracles, money...
