Ordering a 'Mustard-and-Catsup'
  I was ever-so-rudely refused

  Not a happy camper at all ~
      'Dog-on-it,' I mused...

LESSON
I am learning the hard way the easy lesson
There is nothing can overcome depression
We can have free expression
But we can't have the concession

You win.
Take circumstance
and all it's hopscotch words
and fling them far beyond me now
for you have taken every how and why
and blown my dandelion air
without rhyme or season
or consequence.
You win....

1.Pockets of air.
2.Roaring gusts in critique.
3.Swirling leaves.
I'll build a concession stand here immediately.
I knew one day you'd get proactive.
I just thought it'd be, you know- maybe liquefaction, 
flooded power station, mudslide..........

It always makes me pain.
My mother’s scissors.
It’s an either-or situation
She cuts my old photos up into small pieces,
Or stir you into the mixture.
Whether or not it’s true
How could it interpret
These actions as love
Or the other kind of concession...

Freedom of speech is not what we want to hear
Freedom of speech is harsh criticism we bear
Let the critics speak without fear
Freedom of speech is the fundamental principle of expression
Let's not oppress speakers by giving them concession.
Note. Abusive language is inappropriate....

I have to make a confession.
My new year’s resolution is to kick this bad habit called depression
I will leave it to the people who have made concession
For their selfish personal suppression
Of  “I’m a failure” obsession expression
Their transgression of depression 
One can consider as a new profession...

When does education
Become indoctrination?,
When does being questioned
Become interrogation?.

When does discipline
Turn into abuse?,
When does an explanation
Become an excuse?.

When does a gift
Become a concession?,
When do beliefs
Become  an obsession?.

Who has the right to judge
Between your ideas and mine,
Our limitations just depend
On who will draw the line....

Not as rejection's standstill of define
thy purpose wasting has acquitted thine
still wasting ~ as with messaged intertwine
a fact is blown to another mind.

And I am blown away by sadness, mine 
eternal wasting is a pothole's fine,
no exit, no conviction, thee to time,
consistence only gathers smooth, while I'm

A'wasting with concession, wasting rhyme ~
If in thy heart, am wasting to divine!...

A heavy stone
of concrete
steel
and dust
sits on my chest

I can't breathe...

A yoke of shame
hangs around my neck
formed with tears, blood
and bones
of a thousand victims
of Gender Based Violence
women
and children
knocked down 
and slaughtered 
before their prime
now singing: "senzeni na?"
from their shallow graves.

You asked what you did wrong
my answer: "nothing."
After this,
after this concession 
may you rest
in peace....

Enveloped in luxuriant
life giving verdigris;
I breathe in the light;
exhale the darkness.

Cellular metamorphosis;
fusion of spirit essence;
concession to chrysalis
trans-formative
intervention...

Miraculous visitation,
persistent progression,
a celestial procession;
time-slipping
towards renewal...

concatenation luring elation;
blissful appreciation
for Raphael’s gift...
I succumb to
supernal rejuvenation.

The rift
They say comes from deep
within.
But I beg to differ
Isn’t pink a compromise between
red and white?
At times even slightly
approaching lavender?
So why should it not
make a concession?
An indulgence
A consideration for the niceties
of the heart.
Dear pink alloy
So pure yet so imprudent.
Or is it that the alloy which was
refuses to acknowledge the alloy
which could become?
How my heart yearns for
your sweet fragrance!

Spread your petals and
Bid me inhale....

The bunny came and hid the eggs
since he’s mammal the question begs
	where did they come from?
	did he buy lump sum?
wonder what he’d do with frog legs?

What’s with the chicks following him?
maybe they’re there on a wild whim
	difference in age?
	large, I’d wage
but I am not a judge of them.

Then there is the most obvious question
if Easter Bunny is male, concession,
	how could he lay an egg
	down his long trouser leg?
I think I need a therapy session....

It's taken me some time but I have finally arrived, so yes that look is hatred in my eyes, I took the long route you the express, now I have a black heart that beats in my chest, I used to dream every night but not so much anymore, dreams defer  when you walk through the door, what really happen I sincerely want to know, what could turn off the light in your effervescent glow, I tried the best I could but they gave you too much power, bitter sweet now here comes the  sour...

The most noble act in all the world, I think
To back away from war on the brink
Seeking peaceful concession
With reparation
Restoring
Peace
Endorsing
Calm separation
Mutual declaration
Leaves both nations prospering insync
The most noble act in all the world, I think

What causes us to feel hungry
you would believe people wouldn't
why do some people become chunky
while others eat a lot and couldn't

why do we feel sleepy
you would conceive we wouldn't be tired
I pleasure in being speedy
I am confused with it being required

why do we feel discomfort
such as pain and sorrow
I need to feel comfort
so I gaze forward to morrow

why am I in question
there must be reasons
is my query for concession
just time to pass the seasons...
