Could never imagine the ways

The colonial duty of an iron is to smooth the untamed grass into areas of growth. 

Dismiss shell like existence and reveal the warrior within using the light bulb glow.

Dance. Dinner....

Fear is 
A cat-of-nine tails
She live on slave ships and
Colonial dry lands
Striking against the
Backs of Slavery
Yes, fear can
Break the 
Heels of your soul 
Breaking flesh and breaking bone...

"The Lady with the Lamp," Florence Nightingale
  Icon of Victorian culture. Her life, an exciting tale

     White pinafore over colonial dress, she wore
She served as first woman nurse in The Crimean War...

Shouting your name does the trick
Echoing when the heart is empty
I lamented all the signs
Really ruining my fate.

Dropped repugnantly colonial
It spreads and hates changes.

Some remnants of nobility
Sort of pinnacle
All corrupted spelling in my prayer
Alhamdulillah....

The absence of copula, 
black and white to and fro,
Pidgins broke the rules.

Yu spik a long tang,
ol rul mas stop, Braddah.

Into colonial subjugation,
Pidgin has no future, stalemate.
Falls under freedom of slavery,
let's have an interracial,
the bukkake of licentia poetica....

Trophy Hunters eradicated lesser one-horned.
Traditional medicine was reasoned then killed.
The colonial era malignant apartheid seized.
Tragic wildlife ranches endangered.
Tremendous Javan Rhinos died.
Tied mud wallow was converted, the game started.
Trapped maggoting man heart wolfed....

Fallacy....inappropriate fantasy

Fantasy.....anticipated reality

Reality.....imaginative stability

Stability.....exacting security

Security....forfeiture from fallacy......

Vain glory be hi-story......infamy be thy shame
baneful flourish from ruse historic,
enemies created to blame.........

A writer whose writings are meaningful
A writer whose words are bold
A writer who writes for the well-being of fellow men
A writer who shows you who you really are
A writer who is stable and soft delight
A writer who is creative and Scotch Brite.
Note. A colonial writer is like an artist who produces a picture of a colony....

In days of olde
Lords spoke French to their king,
In church,in Latin would sing-
Poets,changing this mould,
Their verses,in English did bring.

Note.Poetry & literature in the 1300's helped to coalesce English into a native,nationwide 
language by rejecting both the secular religious power of the 'colonial' French of the Court 
and 'imported' Latin of the state Chuch...

Words are born and some change, adapt, some wilt;
Norse drips into French seeps into English, hidden treasures under silt.
Blendings swirl meanings and semantics shift our daily use;
once uttered by tongue, electric touch now lets language loose.
Ancient lexis under threat became narrower with colonial treks;
Luhu and Yahagn, two dodo vocabularies now buried within texts....

A ship, a journey,
across a vast blue sea.
India calls
it a whispered mystery.

Foreign lands,
new sights unfold,
colonial eyes,
stories yet untold.

East meets West,
clash and blend,
cultures collide,
a world to transcend.

Hidden truths,
uncertainties,
a clash of hearts,
and different realities.

A passage,
not just of place,
but of minds,
in time and space.

At pasture's edge
the last Tansy*
sheds it's blossoms

Common tansy is also known as golden buttons and garden tansy. Common tansy was introduced from Europe into colonial North America in the 1600s as an ornamental plant and for medicinal uses. Ironically, common tansy contains alkaloids that are toxic to humans and livestock if consumed in large quantities. ~ravallirepublic.com...

Great Britain and their beloved colonial states,
struggled and determined each their own fates,
foes in war, but united in common civility,
unlike Putin's abandon of simple humanity.

Ravaged and weakened, but firm on their feet,
Ukraine lacks no courage in evil they meet,
and those who would claim, "It is not our fight."
abandon Heaven's calling to do what is right.

day break is dawning
I captured the moon yawning
while the sun was getting dressed
I heard cars rolling over 
the wet pavement from the mist 
of the morning dew the smell of wild 
open granduer arouses my memory
of colonial pastures and beckoning hues
the crawling grapevines creeping around 
the banyan trees of warm wood cold rock 
crisp cedar too why day break is dawning 
its dawning anew...

Start with an obscure form of poetry,
a female role in Shakespeare comedy
to find yourself in gender politics.

With changeling, colonial politics
mask anonymity in poetry
add subjugation into comedy

To mix sixteenth century comedy
with twenty-first century politics
without doubt produces bad poetry

I-mportant freedom from
N-ation of different race
D-elivers us from slavery
E-ven from colonial ways.
P-ursuit of important freedom
E-vidently shows our being worthy; 
N-ever will we lose our honor, 
D-efending with highest dignity.
E-veryone wants to rise, 
N-ever to fall what may come; 
C-ourage contains the conquerors, 
E-merging with important freedom.

Tonight when I think of the people
I cannot tear you out like a page
For men and ideas are the struggle
Ideas can only explain our rage.
There should be a Lumumba day
In Africa, wherever the Congo flows
Some vision as foundations stay
Some death are meant alone for heroes.
Those colonial advantage is dying
The blood money looters now cough
Tell me why the Congo is not danccing
Lumumba, I fly you as the flag aloft....

Memory of Liberty

  Ballroom entanglements of crush induce dancers,
  Flouncing hem of skirt of my lady the Royal Queen,
  Wavy as ocean, swiveling and sweeping in spiraling
  concerto,
  The sea of floating headgears bobbing up at the simms,
  Footfalls on the parade paved hill tarmac of many
  destinies,
  Lives held in captivities in the jaws of colonial
  metropolitan,
  Imploding, searchlight to conquer the fun-fare frontiers,...
