Supermarkets Poems

Creatures of planet Earth under severe threat,
Their living status dramatically changed;
The cause of it all is an insignificant germ,
Unknown until now, no longer estranged.

The population no longer worried about wars,
The hatred for Muslims is a thing of the past;
The persecution...Read More

Just what you've 
been waiting for.
Coronavirus the movie.

First let the truth be told
Coronavirus is taking out
the young and the old.
Babies to Senior citizens.
Celebrities, Royalty,
and World Leaders.
Anybody and everybody's 
prone.
Part of the cure
is to stay at home.

Hollywood couldn't wait,
a movie series...Read More

Fleeing from the corona virus,
we headed out of town,
seeking isolation from infection.
Beyond civilisation,
beyond the traffic lights,
beyond the bitumen and the supermarkets,
we came to a wilderness 
of scrubby brush and stunted trees,
occupied by wallabies and emus,
crows and kookaburras,
nothing dangerous, 
except the...Read More

COMPLACENCY

When it comes to the coronavirus; of course it is never going to be you
As you stand there coughing on the person in front of you in the queue

You never once heeded the advice if feeling sick isolate yourself at...Read More

Who would have thought when it raised it's head
Flu like symptoms leading to scores now deceased
A few, now too many the authorities have said
We're about to find out whom are the real diseased

Borders become invisible as it spreads it's fear
As...Read More

This is Uganda
My motherland
My home that I love so much
Boom, boom, boom,boom
Another prominent leader has been shot dead
Who is it?
Abiriga, the yellow man
Panic here, panic there
Some arrests here and there
And that’s it
He is gone
And the killers too are nowhere to...Read More

60% of the world wealth
is owned by Billionaires
Which leaves 
the rest of the world

To function on 
forty percent 
of the world's wealth,
"getting a rich man into heaven"

Is like trying to get
a camel through
the eye of a needle
because with wealth

Gods expectation...Read More

Carl Marx
created the communist 
manifesto
he created communism

because looking at the capitalist world
he realized that eventually,
a very few wealthy 
people would control the world

well everybody else 
became slaves to their money
that's pretty much what we have now
the very wealthy

Getting wealthier 
we...Read More

Pat's
polecat
ate Jack's Brats**
got way too fat
So when that cat shat
on Papa's brand-new hat
he was punished tit-for-tat
Now forced to dine solely on rat
Pat's polecat said grace for meals, then spat


          November 07,...Read More

Certain stores have discounts
Saving this or that percent 
If you're old or are perceived that way -
I think that's their intent.

In supermarkets in my 'hood
On Tuesdays, says the sign,
Seniors save a whopping 10% -
Just mention it in line.

They never ask...Read More

I was here when television wasn’t…
Movies in color were still a new thing
Cars were mostly black

I was here when jet planes weren’t…
Telephones were bulky and hung from the wall
Most every town had a railroad track

I was here when satellites and...Read More

When poems can be bought in little tins
Available in supermarkets and corner shops
With appropriate labels by all the greats
And unpublished authors in their own special aisle 
At prices cheap enough to tempt the meanest soul
Think of how much more would...Read More

When we take a walk down any high street
more and more signs of to let or for sale
the demise of the independent shops no more
even the national ones struggle to stop the nail

It's so easy to put the blame on...Read More

After coming back from church last night, wishing everyone a Happy Easter, my sister's only wish was to watch The Greatest Showman. So, my mother and I took our seats next to her and watched, right in the dining table,...Read More

An Economy spirals up in euphoria, 
enslaving Casinos, Supermarkets, Malls.
Lavish and happy hedonists in quicksand,
relish in desert of drudgery, not so small.
As we dance, an orgy and frenzy of 'Plenty',
Mother Earth looks fragile.

Thousand channels on TV....
Commercial 'Breaks' bonding ornate families.
Fizzy...Read More

Greenland is the largest island in the world, but it is not a continent

I know

my life is being recorded indefinite
every movement
private or ordinary
including this moment
every event
big or insignificant
without my consent
there is no instant
when i am alone
only deep thoughts I no...Read More

Adjusting Appetizing Palates.
I have sampled the variety,
I am the one who has tasted life;
The one who has had a taste of life.
Rarely indulged in the main course-
Seldom a full meal-
I come hungry-
To leave satisfied...
I want more substance.

Sampled the world on...Read More

 The Paratrooper

I was falling through the air couldn’t see a thing, opened up
my big black umbrella and descended in an orderly fashion.
A scythe of a moon gave enough light so I could see the coastline
and the dark, menacing sea...Read More
