Independence , Self- Government

Africans chose independence,
colonizers accepted their wishes
And  brought them neo-colonisation 
Which  looks like modern incarceration 
As they have limitations of rights 
Locally and internationally 
Which is opposing liberty 
And so called democracy. 

Some people of good hearts out there, 
What do you think when Africans banks 
Reserves are in control of some colonisers? 
As  colonisers continue  taking decisions
on all African matters  proves the inexistence
of the African Union institution. 

What is a next good move for Africa and Africans? 
I can see some riots of many Africans 
and chasing out some western soldiers
 in different UN peace missions,  
pointing them to be wars promoters 
And robbers of their natural resources. 

People of good hearts do you accept their claims? 
In democracy we must understand 
the voices of the majority, 
 if not... it is an  imposition 
which is much dictatorial.

People of good hearts don't you smell 
the arrogance of some world leaders? 
Where love operates,  
there are  no some colonizers 
who dictating other leaders. 
There is no so called democracy 
which is neo- colonisation.

At the very pinnacle of the authority chain, heaven reveals the necessity for government

Rivalry against God from the hands of Lucifer demanded policing and a chief among angels

Contrary to the belief of many, self-government is ideal, but it does not work universally

However, humans will often go beyond the line of necessity with too much government

Barriers, borders, and limitations are one thing; 'Overreach' and 'Bureaucracy' are another

In the New World of the early settlers, they desired a government without bishops and popes.

Similarly, the American style of government was enameled with vital 'Checks and Balances'

Holy men had to be held accountable, and 'the divine right of kings' was simply anathema

Once I heard it said that the governments that govern best are those that govern less

Power in the hands of mere men must always be linked directly to God, the source of all power

Premium Member Capital Congested Ways

Green currency
currently has a capital city way
of ungreening pastures,
dying waters,
spoiling mother lands,
decapitating valleys of red-flowing death,
fears of divested death,
war-torn unvictory gardens,
childhood dreams of peace
and nightmares
of capital-infested war machines,
robots,
goose-stepping soldiers
bearing automated black and white rifles,
either death or life,
you or me,
mutually ungreen
disempowered,

While cooperative
deep qualitative
memories of Earth, pre-capitalized,
and healthy ego wealth
playing ecological green win/win
nurtures greener theological pastures,
and cooperative self-government of grace
restoring living ecosystemic waters
of justice,

MotherEarth flows uncapitalized nutrients
dark and light
wane and waxing childhood lucid dreams
no greener than just right.


The Human Inchworm

One inch forward two back
Creeping toward a ludicrous goal
Relinquishing disappointment
Seeking internal satisfaction

Psychotic persistence, 
Emotional self-government, 
Invulnerable will, 
Summate its inevitable success
Bent on destruction
Of opposition
Nothing remains in its way 
Corrupt hunger for perfection
Double-edged sword it hunts
All lost, nothing gained 
Predetermined history
On course for an early end
Egotistical
Self-serving
None could’ve foreseen
Seclusion from society
Inured to anguish
Epitome of sorrow
Unfurnished with tear ducts
Just sweat and blood

Its release is its affliction
Its passion is its destruction
Its serenity is its inferno
Its infection is its only hope

Money

Money can buy anything
But doesn’t really mean something

Money can buy bungalow
But not a home for a widow

Money can buy a rank
But not a good tongue

Money can buy blood to longer life
But not a life itself

Money can buy arms to impede harm
But not a charm to the orphans

Money can buy war material
But not a freedom of immortal 

Money can buy independence
But not liberty of minds

Money can hamper Sulu self-government
But not sovereignty from the people’s conscience
  
Because of money Sulu Nation suffers
So please don’t use money to help rebuild Sulu after bombings!

Isn't it a total freedom?
That Sulu's really aimed

Since without independence
Seeking for freedom has no end!  


Dedicated to the defenders of Justice and Freedom of Sulu Nation.
