Big Fish, Little Pond
swimming in a vast pool of
self-congratulating intellectuals,
s/he will always have company
amongst those who take themselves
way too seriously....

Tanka Revolution
Tanka 
Working class people 
Do not trust socialist intellectuals
Don´t get lured by them 
They are upper middle class people 
Who want to run your revolution....

Illiteracy
Illiteracy
A world full of 
Too many intellectuals
Too many scientists 
Too many geunious
Too many smart technologies 

Yet find it deficult 
To live among 
each other 
With love 

Is equal to a doom 
Called 
illiteracy...

knowledge tells us not to kill ~ wisdom knows how to get away with it 

when a wise fool gets into power ~ intellectuals disappear 

wisdom is knowing how to do the wrong thing ~ and make it seem just right

Divorce
Demons gleefully collect  traces of love 
Intrigued by intellectuals' war games 
Voicing their venomous phrases 
Over petty domestic crimes 
Rage trickles the air as moisture gushes miniature eyes 
Carefree smiles sink flower pots' soil 
Echoes of cries ricochet throughout walls....

Premium Member Checkers
Checkers!!!
Black and red squares
going nowhere
you move up, down, horizontal almost everywhere
Jump me , I jump you
Move to the other ends of the square
old one new ones too
All intellectuals do
Crown me, king me,  I statically grin
You won, I win, whose next who's in
this a game of 
Checkers???...

Knowledge and Courage
I
a brave man without knowledge
intellectuals without courage
both fight 100 defeat 100

A brave man with knowledge
brave intellectuals
both fight 100 win 100

II
courage is fruit of knowledge
knowledge is daily bread of courage

III
It needs day and night to complete a whole day
It needs knowledge and courage to complete a whole life....

Her Wisdom
She is very careful about what she writes
Because she has found that
Although something is not true today
It may be true tomorrow
She knows, she knows without having learnt
Her simplicity comprehends the secret that
So-called intellectuals have altered
Her wonderful mind makes her light as a butterfly
Giving her different versions of truth
Which seduce, ease, comfort and survive...

Looking For Redemption
Looking for Redemption


                      Great minds are at work to prove or disprove
the God`s existent`s we know this I a game the intellectuals play
because they cannot accept the plain reason,
the world exists because it is an illusion.
 a conjuring trick, forgotten by its creator.
God is a perfect idea it resides in everyman’s mind
It asks an abstract good for life eternal,
an echo no God can answer...

Premium Member A Diverse Crowd
The righteous make good martyrs
To hang upon the cross
The wicked use their hatred
To prey on others loss

The meek look up to Heaven
And pray upon their knees
The wealthy use their power
To do just what they please

The gullible asks no questions
And believe everything that's said
Intellectuals see their folly
And sadly shake their head

Too many shout in anger
But never hear the call
I just sit in silence
And wonder about you all...

Come To Africa
Come to Africa
Do you see wonderful cars?
No. Only traffic jam

Ask about Africa
Do you hear smart answers?
No. Only questions

Think about Africa
Do you hear about big dreams?
No. Only survival hymns

Take a tour around Africa
Do you see dignified human beings?
No. Only precious goods

Africa my homeland hear all these
Arise

This is dedicated to African intellectuals faced with the task of recapturing true image of Cradle of humanity...

Aficionado
Aficionados here and there,
People craft, lead and build. 

Those traders are teasers of the wind,
Sail and sail, draft and rate, 
Be your own rafter till you lead the machines. 

Magician of genius, 
Roundtables of roundabouts,
Wheel and chain wheel every unshielded process, 

Superhuman intellectuals fragmenting puzzles of equations, 

Build this new cybernetics!
Nemesis are the rivals of each creationists. 

Mechanics are our homepage....

Half Baked Scholar
Representation of thoughts
Is now in demand
By the so-called scholars
Intelligent in nothing particular.

To debate is their skill
With no proper evidence
Just to brag and brag so hard
In the end, to shout for the win.

This is the condition
Of this fellow intellectuals
Complete half in knowledge
Need much to be acknowledge

They lead the society
Create the true disparity
The more they use the brain
'Half baked scholars' take us in vain.

Premium Member Waxes Taxes
We dread this time of the year
We are absolutely sure 
   When we file our taxes 
   Sam will surely wax us
Greed of Uncle Sam is clear

Stopping off from work to drink a beer
Not an option is totally clear
   Senators' raises
   Citizens' gazes
So much as a beer can’t buy this year

Economy in quite a mess
Intellectuals must confess
   We’re slowly slipping
   Mortgages flipping
Armageddon is the conquest!

For and in honor  of Carolyn Devonshire
And Contest...

the rock star intellectuals —
finding life a gas, smoking pot,
erupting all the free liquor,
devilish fame as a bot.

smashing guitars by the dozens,
oozing blood, alcohol and sweat.
impress daughters with their wild haze,
vocal chords slogging through their set.

a plane crash demolished their dreams
— the flash stars reap a reality.
the vibe’s dead there's no second chance
for trio erased from marquee.

James Stepped In
Needed to read, just myself, 
So James stepped in unexpected, 
Not hesitantly, but with ardour, 

Physically disabled, 
Well aware of my rights, 
To read and consider on my own. 

Mum wished to angle, 
My thoughts towards god, 
To a religious seat. 

But my chair was an intellectuals, 
My vision was unity and oneness, 
Not some to hell, others to heaven. 

James repelled them harshly, 
Said I had my own mind, 
Which could be secret to me.
