Scotland, rich in pride
Braw mountainous scenery
Stands proud and salutes
 
Saltire shares the wind
Tartan Highlanders kilted
Kingdom of the clans...

With as little thought, think you
Can be brushed aside
All their concerns, as waste of
Sweepings to one side?

Then have you not once witnessed
The regard given
To duck clans, a road, crossing.
Respect, more lordly
To elephant, real king, he
By pride-shrunk, stomped men!...

I danced with joy for a soft breeze, 
Forefathers knows me by wisdom, 
My numerous arms keeps you at ease, 
My clans makes a wonderful kingdom. 

My kind gives you fruits and comfort, 
I protect you from the heat waves, 
Yet, everyday I am outnumbered, 
Your forefathers will lament from graves....

No, clandestine link
Brings the Dress Act of 1746 to the brink!
The mighty kilt
On which highland culture is built...

I, a Scottish Golden Eagle so regal on the breeze
To soar on thermals high over Scottish Glens with ease

To look down on the lands of kilted, pipes and lochs
Witnessing the scattering of our clans, be present at our loss



For Andrea's Blog, if you were to be a animal?

They met in October, Mama and Papa Bear.
We were young, in love, we had no care!
From two dissenting clans, but we did dare….
Dancing in the leaves, reflected Mama Bear.

My clan has never let me back in their Papa said.
He smiled at his cubs and shook his furry head.
Let’s go see them, the twins said to each other.
Reuniting him as soon as they yelled “hello grandmother!”...

Time is different in its fulfilment 
Yoruba status is unique in its path
Western education isn't enough reason to activate its abandonment 
Black soap is good for bath 

Worthy is informal education 
Which equips the brain scans 
I am made unique in its adaptation 
Well enriched in the history of my clans 

Face of the earth 
Mask of heaven 
Ritual to death 
Done in seven...

My princess is the fairest in all lands
Her hair made from golden strands
Thousands come in clans to kiss her hands
She will never be bland
Everyone is a fan of her command
When the big band plays we all stand
Her beauty is forever grand
When she is with me I am in a dreamland
Her love is in high demand

My princess is my daughter and I heart her

S is for the songstress O Sunshine.
U is all the whole world to mime.
S is for the pride O the Scottish.
And the A is for oor Angel we wished.
Named and baptised as Susan Boyle.

Boy did the Good Lord bless us all.
On oor own Mother type Kelly,s doorstep.
You were chosen to tread the red carpets.
Littered by the flowers of your fans.
E is for the Everlasting thanks O your Clans....

The battle well fought,
Blood drips from the blade.
Clans kill each other,
A grave history made.

Women and children weep,
Men driven by fear.
Prejudice handed down,
Death year after year.

The torch forever blinds,
The flame of hatred burns.
A sad lesson taught,
But no one ever learns.

With malice in their hearts,
The war will never end.
The righteous always rise,
To do it once again....

Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through my loving land
You will be greeted with a smile
Share in banter that beguiles
As golden harps
Play sweet tunes
Leprechauns dance under full moons
Glowing fires  warm you soul
As colleens dance on the ballroom floor
Fields are green and valleys lush
With streams and lakes
Full of tranquil hush
Castles stand throughout the land
Steeped in the history of their clans...

Cadence calls collective clans
ricochet katydid
not crackle her crocodile skin.

Crazy kids combine their fares
for riding rickety RinTinTins,
out zipping their yipping files.

Corny crackers crash their lines
lickety slippety splat
finishing race far much too soon
before fine ladies grow fat.

Cadence cries corrective crams
flippety frying flies
falling their crowns upside down
while mothers cry for their sins....

Moving on surface waters
Playing on dream-stirred waters
Diving with stretched feathers
Blowing out soft lathers

Under the clear skies
Waltzing before my eyes
Above the blue skies
Images so deep, flaunting in my eyes

Up the streams they wail
Down the streams they sail
Above the strings they play
Below the springs they pray

Dance of the Swans
Trance of the wans
Swans under the blue moon dance
Clans of the half-moon's stance...

The Oracle spoke in tongues
Of crisscrossed words reversed in a pattern
Percolated in the minds to be given to lungs
Then tossed to the winds like a light to the lantern

Giving out hope for each to carry out
A new day that torched in their voices
While the words that did sway and melted all doubt
Meant all they could say or impart in their choices

A time when tribes and clans joined to make great their cause
But forgetting the reason for all the applause!...

Waters Deep

Come swim with me in waters deep,
With swish of tail and sparkling scale,
Through the caves of wishing wells
Where dreamers dream in rich detail

Below the waters breaking waves
We’ll ride the tides to nether lands
Down beneath the breathing clans
To depths that quicken hearts demand

Then rest with me on rocky shores
As we bask in rays of ecstasy
Above the waters, definitely,
We’ll find our true heart’s destiny

THEY CAME FROM EVERY ANGLE BY SHIPS THE SIZE OF TOWNS.
IN IRON CHARIOTS ASSEMBLED DEMANDING A CROWN.
THESE WERE THE FEINDS OF HATE AT OUR VERY GATES,
WITH FOREIGN LEGIONS OF SLY AND SADISTIC MATES.
OUR CLANS UNITED WITH THE PLAN OF FREEDOM FIRST.
EMPOWERING THE THIRSTY, OF OUR PREVIOUS BLISS.
WHERE EVERY CLAN HAD AN ACRE OF EDIBLE LAND.
AND MOTHER NATURE WAS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
 NOW THEY HAVE BUILT A MONUMENT IN HADRIANS WALL.
BOW!BEFORE YOU ENTER!OUR HEAVEN AND THEIR HELL!...

Gradually reminders hover.
Between the hearts akin.
No matter if it is a brother.
Who lost his way in sin.

A family born is absolute.
There's no need to ask how.
God's presence is now resolute.
We're connected forever now.

Inter stellar cosmic clans.
With earthly mixed up ways.
Do their best with best laid plans.
In hope's, Mother's love stays.

The only song that we should sing.
Is one of help and hope.
And then compassion's joy can bring.
The strength to help us cope....

Token Steps 


Ruling winds the austral buttes naked slopes ...

                   as vortex smoky rise aloft Zulu's kraal
            Clans in circular indlu huts enclosing round
                   all women famous to craft their beads
           while getting set for tomorrows Reed Dance
                   a trait of Zulu armistice Nguni extends

Bestill, war drums eve chants Shaka's hopes ...
