Short Brutalised Poems

A fellow named 
Timothy Terna,
was killed by a 
brutalised hyena.
When went him a 
forest,
to pray at a high 
crest,
for God to send 
down bunch of 
manna....

Landscapes of brutalised wilderness where trees stood

No amount of greed should ever see such destruction of wood

We have to resolve to live a life of nurture not simply of destruction...

a child is snatched
life forms brutalised
earth is a dark realm
where all of us dwell
feeling fear overwhelm

within the dark abyss
when all hope seems lost
our eyes turn heavenward
but it may be preferable
if they first turn inward

law of cause and effect
inevitably comes into play
but for now we weep tears
bleeding, bleeding, bleeding
paralysed by our worst fears...

Red,
Brown,
Gunned down,
A manchine ceased to be

Oxidised
Realised
Brutalised
Catharsis empathised  
Our fate it seemed to be

Hopeful
Fruitless
Helpfull
Useless
Your minds bent eye sees me

I lie here shunned
Yearning
Turned
To dust as you do sleep

But one man sees me
Joyful
Insightful
Ecstatic for my bones

Use is deemed
Beyond whats seemed
From rusted parts and skin
Inside what counts
Is what amounts
To what comes from within...

(letters to my presido-elect): i

good must be lucky
else
luck must be goody
that niger now lurks in seas of goody-goody

1960 as father sang
was her year unlucky
who dwelt
on many a natural grant
with sons great
that beheaded must
lie in tombs
the untimely tombs
of countless days

and now mend
your brutalised
your kwashiokored
your maimed
your exiled

for
good must be lucky
else
luck must be goody
that niger now lurks in seas of goody-goody
