Short Settler Poems

Oh you settler! Why'd you settle? 
Why'd you settle for less? Why'd you settle for distress? Why settle for emptiness? Or unhappiness? 

Oughtn't we to be Nomads? To search, no, strive? To strive for that which is better. That which we know is best. 

So why settle?...

The arise of racism is unknown
Maybe due to the historical factors
The first settler factor
The authority and jurisdiction factors
The origin factor
The dispute factor
It needs forgiveness, forbearance and conciliatory if any
But I believe I hope I pray 
There won't be racism in the eyes of 
God
Am I a day dreamer...

Irish Settler,

            watchting by lake shore,

as a lonely hawk circles,

          around the blue velvet sky,

serveral times, then flies off

                       into the horizon,

then she beckons to her

         master as she

swims out to

          retrieve his

prize.

On the grounds of Kongo dya Ntotila
Monte Kibango saw you born
O fearless daughter that quiet talks
Nganga Marinda of Mwana Kongo´s clan
In “Antonianism“ your belief was let known
To the dogmas of the Catholic faith, you were contrary
“Heretic!” - To death the clergy condemned thee 
On life, at the fire that burned much
Still, your goodbye was sincere
Now, in deep sleep
Crowned laurels, in eternal glory
Rest forgotten of the filthy settler...

To wander life, an aimless fellow
Under sunlight, bright and yellow,
Walking roads and rough terrain
May seem to settlers quite insane.

To have a home and plot of land,
A friendly neighbors helping hand,
And happy tales of family lore
The wanderer would find a bore.

A settler and a wanderer sit down to have a chat,
Each asking of the other guy, "How could you live like that?"
The settler prays the wanderer will someday realize,
Yet over the horizon, the wanderers heart lies....
