We must do something,
Liberals holler! After causing
this mayhem, rigging an election,
throwing peace out of power:
His tweets were too nasty, too
macho-type-man”~though he
confounded tyrants, LIKE PUTIN,
laid Isis cold, to rot on the sand.
Now they call out! We must
do something, for a time again,
we: Send my children, my
grandchildren, their sister and
barely of-age brother~reply I, yet
a sigh: lead the way, outside a
poem. Where words are safe
to toughly roam;
let me see a rifle in your
hand, you at the head
of the liberating pack (in-front
not in back)~then maybe
I will ask mine to follow –
not because of your belated moan~but
for our God! For His mankind's sake,
though adding more innocent voices
to your well deserved, culpable groan.

I remembered a foolish thing I did, oh no!
Decided to bought food at the drive through,
So hungry to eat but forgot my drink,
I opened my car and went inside the place
Going somewhere to park,
But it seems the place was too dark,
Never mind, I’m so hungry to worry,
But what I ate makes my eyes blurry.
Munched my food hurriedly,
Felt something hard as I chewed toughly,
A coin at the tomato sauce, Oh what a night!
It fell down on my food as I sealed the plastic tight!
As I threw my left-over at the bin,
Something was missing, my feet felt thin,
Didn’t wear my shoes the whole time!
I’d removed it as I entered my car.

A Dandelion lives as a Dandelion.
A Forget-not-me live as a Forget-not-me.
A Plantain lives as a Plantain.
A Plantain that live one Rough Earth
Can only grow Toughly,
But on an Oily Earth, it grows
In different style
With Deep – meaning and Sturdiness.
No matter what,
I don’t lose my Identity
And I continue to live as a Plantain.
I learn it here, that I have to
LIVE LIKE MYSELF.

We slum dwellers strive through arduous thistles of hardship
We tough it out through the mere adroitness of apprenticeship
We writhe morosely, carrying the world over our shoulders
But we tussle toughly the travails like soldiers
We're the slaves that bolster the aplomb of the upper crust
The hapless mendicants whose ascendancy the haves must thrust
The loyal ignoramuses that politicians use for their puissances
The impoverished natives the government uses to seek aid for its juissances
The kooky denizens that researchers scrutinate as a case study
The inane old guard whom the civilized take as nerdy
We sleep like foiled wolves and wake like champion lions
We carouse in our wobbly shanties like they're our Zions
We wade through the filthy excrement as our daily tracks
These afflict no more, for we've in vain raised our flacks
We accept to be the encumbrances the society discard to roaming sellers
But we know behind the hurdles what we dream, we slum dwellers

Treasures of gold are the ones untold:
The ones stand so bold & yet never fold…
In the deepest corners scorned but not torn, Bruised & tainted but still not worn….
Beautiful on the outside but worn within:
toughly put together with the gentlest skin….
Impacted with newest wishes but covered with the old on the outside, eyes open wide..
in the rain shivering cold hands clinching to hold the very gift built from my life's treasures
of gold so beautiful & bold yet untold………..

In muddy waters blood suckers live
No real work they do in puddles
Day and night, they wait for
An unlucky man blindly wading
To offer his blood for leeches’ meal of the day
For they know blood is life
Human blood leeches stand those
Fearless male and female of all lands
Greed they are for supremacy
Lovers of hard power they are though
Faint not to know its soft side
But decide to eat, drink and respire lies
Human vampires have no select and side
As they sleep day to work night for
Ready they are to change attitudes
As chameleons dye to lie the killer
When they hide colors to grab preys
That we the grassroots are
Human leeches are bogus dangerous ticks
Seeking other humans whose blood to suck
They awfully kill their rights
Willingly bury their liberty and economy
For they behave sadistically
To remain toughly eternal blood suckers
.

So precious, so dear, so exquisite grin
All of us could have is Sanmati jinn.
Notable for her academic success in
Many spheres of schooling life she win
Almighty’s blessings – parents too – akin.
Talking debauched of her is for me like sin.
Toughly soft, visionary blind, free chagrin –
Is she though a fortune maker for father in
Job and all prosperity of life as kingpin.
All I need is she be best in discipline,
In chastisement, regulation and tailspin.
Notable for us is Sanmati – a stickpin.

Be it human, be it more,
The most complex substance is the ore of inner core.
It’s vital for a stronger base and the line of arc,
It’s vital for the making of nature and emotional mark.
Most of the time we are searching only on the upper thrust,
Without even lowering our searches down the crust.
We see only the heat, roughness, dryness…
But no, eye on how melted the inner ground is.
There comes complications, as so many thing toughly packed there,
Hidden aspirations, sorrow, guilt, fear, loneliness are just the mere.
But, who dips down there, with patience of being a with care,
With time to just sit and hear
And dig out reasons and tear…
the unwanted spread all over..
and misery creeping for a makeover.
If we care for some, we have to be alert
Be it nature or nature’s birth..
let not go anyone to dearth.
