Let hate dissipate
Sit down, talk, hug, make amend
All life suffer end....

No Matter Where He Will Go

No matter where Trump will ever go,
Sure is all talk and never any show;
Not my support;
Belongs in court;
To us has been horrible and a bad blow.

I pour my soul to you.
You tell me it's not true.
I confess my horrible faults.
Yet you say that I'm all talk.
You claim that you have my back.
Yet when I turn your gone just like that.
Oh now you want to be my friend.
When things were going wrong where were you then....

Politicos prattle
their prating rattle,
will such rantings ever cease ?
Smugly they sanctimone
as listeners,inward groan;
With theories,so unreal
hypothesising on how we feel;
Will such arrogance condescend
listen,or unbend-
or is it all just talk
sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !...

ALL TALK

will such rantings ever cease ?
Smugly they sanctimone

or is it all just talk
sans hard yards of walk.

Trust me,it won't happen again !

Rejected you in this life
Closed my eyes to real fact
Gave a deaf ear to all talk
Refused to accept the truth
But you still existed
Coz everything showed proof
An intelligent being’s handiwork
You gave me reason to believe
Made life meaningful
And worth living to the fullest
Now I always know
You will always be the same
After my story is over and done with...

Eyes like fire and voice like rain
eyes like fog and heart like a stain
cigarettes burning in the coals of the night
shivering from the downpour feeling unright
she lookes at me with contemptous passion
asking me if i'm all talk or action
leave her on the street
scuffle by dragging my feet
don't want to look back at the girl i knew
knowing that this is what became of you...

Listen to poem:

talk talk talk
talk about everything 
everything but you and i

talk talk talk
avoiding the heart of it
the heart out of its depths

talk talk talk
while in silence
the emptiness grows

are we drifting apart
as we talk about everything
as we talk about nothing

talk talk talk
what about me
what about us

father dear , you lied and betrayed.
i cant believe you.
words are all talk. 
thats what you are, all talk and no actions.
you do drugs to hide from your kids.
so they wont see how much of a low life you are.
father dear, change your life or i wont be apart of it.
father dear, i am beautiful in my own way.
father dear, i am smart.
im tierd of being broken, its my turn to be whole.
father dear, your a fool....

I try to hide my sorrow
Because there might be no 
tomorrow 
They all talk and bloat
While I just hide underneath 
my coat
They try to crack my code
But I'm in a different mode
They all stand and stare
Because I'm just sitting there
I have a really small voice
But u guess that's my choice
They all laugh at me 
But I just say let it be
There's no need to run away
Because I know that I'm ok.

too black for the white kids
but their parents say
i'm too white for the blacks
it's sad and dividing
like they're making us walk
on opposite side of train tracks
they talk about no racism no more
i think it's all talk and lies
they don't talk about invasions on shore 
and killing the black man where he lies 
how do you steal babies from parents
and think that's okay?
how do you rape and enslave women
the brutality began 
in botany bay...

6.	WHO  CARES?

Death hides in the
body
but who sees? it’s
obscure

living on the edge
seeking space into
swamp

they all talk about
the sun
swelling in the sky

and close eyes to
the spider
spinning waves on
the ceiling

all alone, but who
cares?
suspicion and
distance

like lovers they 
pretend
to leave, yet stay
longer

dishing out luxuries
showing off
generosity

on the heart’s fancy
table
waiting to welcome
the guest...

I was social 
Surrounded by people 
Many local 
the crowd was equal 

A place where loyalty lies 
And boy does it lie 
All talk til the cry 
Their gone no goodbye 

Favours for favours 
Owners and slavers 
No one to save us 
Takers and traitors 

I thought I had close ones 
The mean the most ones 
Those well known ones 
Suddenly no ones 

I cared 
And I got hurt 
And I swear 
Care is hurt 

Avoid
Assumptions
Destroyed 
Only done once...

I remember the days,
When my mom and dad were superheroes
Everyday, they’d save my world
But now I hear things about them
Things I don’t want to accept as true
But the words won’t leave my system
I remember I asked someone one day
“If I find out about everything, will I end up hating them?”
I looked into their eyes as they said,
“Yes, you will.”
Ever since, I ignore all talk about mom and dad
And I don’t want the day of hating them to come any time soon....

We’d meet and collapse into each other
like two stars burning out.
And then what?

We’d run away from their whisperings and they’d
all talk about the escaping compass lovers.
And then what?

We’d be together, live together, have a life together,
despite their burning inside-eyes.
And then what?

We’d be buried together, their cold spades finally hiding 
our weathered hands, still holding each other.
And
then
what....

So we all talk.

And it’s all a little less dreary.

It’s as if they’re smiling more.

It’s as if they’re smiling at me.

And even starting to care.

Asking if I’m doing ok.

Asking where I went last night, as if I remember.

Asking why I’m doing weird little things.

My family and friends, they are now compassionate towards me.

We all have each other now.

I am a part of the circle of each otherness.

It’s like- everyone I ever knew,

Is new to me....

We never need a special day
To bring you to our mind,
For days without a thought of you,
Are very hard to find.

We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much

Thinking of you on your birthday,
With sadness in our hearts,
For a very special someone,
From whom we had to part

Happy Birthday Blondie
We all talk of you still,
We certainly haven't forgotten you
And I doubt we ever will

Xx Much Love xX...
