Sitting on the balcony of the modern world,
I wait for destruction to unravel itself.

I Like To Wander
I like to wander,
Wander where,
The landscape’s wild
And I can breathe fresh-air,
Where the modern world
Can be kept at bay,
Where my anxiety and cares
Seem to melt away,
In fact, I think,
I think ….
I’ll stay....

Maelstrom
in the modern world we have been hurled,
the maelstrom is inside us,
the greed of rich do cast their pitch,
the feathers can't abide much.
tarred and feathered,
brainwashed for 2 blind us....

Touch Skin
Too many people do not know touch.
Our modern world does not allow such
Underlying need to be expressed.
Can't we please simply regress?
Hug each other, really press
Skin to skin, body to body.
Keep truly connected
In a physical way.
Now, go and hug someone today....

Thy Native Land
The island
Once naive
now tainted
by the winds of change
Once native
now giving birth
to a race of diverse cultures
Once a peaceful place
now disturbed
by a rapid modern world
The island
Once their home
our home
my home
has become an uncertain place in the heart...

Evil
People, at least in the modern world,
Have trouble even accepting
The existence of evil in this world.
But what is the essence of evil
If not the enslavement of others?
And all around we see that happening
Privately, publicly, and
Even within our own minds.

The Festivals
Festivals are celebrated
In grand feasts, a socialized and modified way
Only feasts are remembered
But
Neither the interesting and mysterous stories or fairy tales
Nor the unique, strange, never-met ancestors
For they are too far away
To be understood
By the stonely hearts of this modern world...

Dying Through Hate
child lower your hands from your begging plate.
shine my shoes and shut your mouth.
lose your innocence not a moment too soon.
this is what the modern world is about.
stop those tears that waste the need to hear.
your statistic is numbered down.
fear nothing but me,for i am fear.
and you are a ditch dug six feet down....

Mall Walking
Like fruitless wanderers,
mall walkers slap their feet
in a rhythm
that goes nowhere.
Only round and round,
past mega-bucks sales;
pet store puppy mill reject dogs,
a merry-go-round for elderly exercisers.
Fitness for arthritic window shoppers.
Fashion pants do beckon,
'come forth and sally
ye nomads of the modern world.'...

Istanbul
It's in sadness and sorrow do we find unity
Sometimes it easier to talk it than show it
Terrorism affect every person rich or poor
Anger it is real when it comes to your door
Nothing is so remote in the modern world
But let us remember those who have died
Until we trully decide to fight the terrorist
Lives will continue to so brutally taken again...

Discovering the Deep
A vast ocean
our churning seas
sit within Earth's bowl
containing historical treasures
within murky depths
Secrets settled
still to be unveiled
Precious cargo's price untold
not known if would offset
the cost of any rescue or revelation
Untold scenes priceless
hold enormous quantities of life
scarred by the touch
and interference of our modern world...

The Modern Era Milady
Times fly and life passes by,
Nothing but aerodynamics
And motion graphics,
Self motivated champs
And flying teens with automobiles,
Watching female cartoons
Projecting large moons,
Moors dreaming about freedom
And albino's rejoicing in the kingdom,
The modern world simulated by
Politicians resulting in deserted cities-
and over populated Deserts,
Captured men and freed children
Such is life: the modern times,...

Not Wholly As It Should Be
Not Wholly as it should be
O holy city set in gold
of thee both praise and woe are told.
To three faiths the troubled home,
we see the spire, the Wall. the Dome.
Where once did graze the kid and lamb
I behold a traffic jam.
In Heaven's name, oh, tell us why
property prices are sky-high.
O meeting point of East and West,
O thou at once most cursed and blessed,
show less of your worst
and more of your best....

Africa In the News
Africa In The News
Tanks hugging the
Unwilling ground,
Minute ants poke their treads.
As blackened trees still smoke
From the heavy rebel shelling.
A faceless child lays in a
Lake of blood,
Its toothless mother tries
To bite into a tree trunk
Just to get the last sap.
The filthy hands of other children
Weild machetes.
A colourless camera man incessantly clicks
For his modern world to see.
Paul Kasami...

The Homeless Artist
Penny pincher,
Sleeps on the edge of time,
Dreams of ancient civilisations,
How old is he,
How old is he,
He thought someone in the modern world loved him the other day,
No she's baiting me,
They'll kill me for sure,
Where are his people,
Where are his people,
Why do they treat him so bad,
The modern ones,
He calls it another damned day,
When he wakes up,
Alone and the alcohol isn't strong enough anymore,
How poor,
How poor....

Comatose
COMATOSE
Some call it verse without the rhyme
Marcel Marceau without the mime
The wasted words get joined in prose
and leave me mostly comatose.....
Yes busted prose is comatose
like coffins in a hearse
modern verse is for the crows
for making nests or worse...
so proze for those that wind it so,
just can't get a handle on it,
the modern world loves it though,
i just can't place the grommet.

Love and Loss
Love and Loss
Ghosts of missed chances, haunt my restless mind,
Regrets and what-ifs, leave my heart confined.
Yet I raise my glass, to hope’s flickering flame,
Praying for love’s revival, a second chance to claim.
So I wander through the city, with hope in my eyes,
Knowing love may come, in unexpected disguise.
For in this modern world, where hearts are easily lost,
I’ll keep searching for love, no matter the cost....
