There Are No Accidents, Hagar
It always seems as though, the first line holds this key....
Creating a moment it's poetic course yet, rarely, be she thus
Adrift about his isles desert dunes like Ishmael, an outcast; tides
These ebbs in flows to scrutinize their Archer's bow ? Zodiac's montage....

I do not know?
Aboard the Pequod
I would tell you a sea-farer's sad tale
About a captain who chased a white whale
To the depths he condemned
All but one of his men
And alas for my name isn't Ishmael

Looking In the Mirror, Listening To Others
Call me Ishmael
Call me baby
Call me later
Call me sick & tired of platitudes
Call me the ubiquitous love of the universe
I am tired
I am nameless
I am vapor sifting through the trees
I am a billion mildly annoyed atoms
I am just like you
Only I have a pen
& the audacity to think this matters...

Ishmael Beah
My face tiled in rubbles
make my troubles visible,
result of my lamed fights,
became my life unfeasible.
Don't talk about my mojo,
if you don't like it,
it will chase you all the time,
if you don't stop it.
Child soldier Ishmael Beah,
who jumped to peace,
who let go the bullets,
to embrace world of man free....

Land of Worry
Give me a keg of palmwine
That I may drink to my demise
For to die is gain and to live is pain
In a land not sorry for our worry
Like a toddler cruising in a lorry
Our lords sailing on the yacht
Driven by the waves of poverty
Gulping glasses of champagne
Squashed from the grapes of agony
Lords eating fried lies and check-ins
While we ride on a trolley down a bumpy gully
To shatter our broken piece to bit pieces

Sierra Leone - a Long Way Gone Book By Ishmael Baeh
South province where Mattru jong is located!
Intriguing issues as a young boy!
Escaped from drugs and the war!
Rebels – They don’t agree with the government and think everyone is the enemy!
Ready to start over!
A lhaji close friend of Ishmael!
Lonely waking around by himself at the age of 12!
Evaluated but never understood!
One world with terrible memories!
Never being able to let go of memories!
Elated at being with his uncle!...
