bliss beats zoom
ego’s doomed whence
joy vrooms within
Our soul blooms, as of love seeds sown
We are the shining one
Will we claim the light as our own
Glow of the central sun
Head and heart, hand in glove
Follow the scent of love
God’s blessings from above
Bliss throb vrooms
Our soul blooms

Quietus
Volcanos split the earth
Venting the heat within,
Vaulting upwards at rim.
Vermillion-burnt magma
Vrooms the molten lava-
Vailing, melting all paths;
Verily, countless deaths.

Kreereb, Kerrr, fredden gruntenly
Micro-grapple blurriae engaged blugents
This world been Vogonized
As implore those Vogonians......to subsitfews
WHILE THOSE spirilintayional debris
Collectivism fondling the beworly
Gravitational spurts of galaxtic vrooms
Kreereb, Kerrr, fredden gruntenly
Vanish Vogonians leave this world
Those words you speak we don't want to hear

The politician sleeks up a path in his new limousine
on a hunt a hunt for our votes...opens the door
money exchanges hands... i will see your voters.....
village come the next general elections..Vrooms out...
Such is the fate of ignorant masses.. ..who sell
the soul of the land for a few pitiful dirty notes..
thoughtless humans... whose only claim to reason
is an outstretched hand.. ready to receive peanuts
and vote in the leader - vote in the plunderer...
of our resources- cry our mother nation..
The enemies of my people.. the enemy of Africa
lives in state houses... and runs state resources,
he has powerful masters abroad who-receives the
souls bought from the people sacrificed at the
alter of greed and neo-colonialism
Who will help the dark continent
who will help Africa........ only..
only AFRICAN RENAISSANCE WILL..
A shout out ..for the movement is alive
a shout out .......African RENAISSANCE

Rushing from the balcony
Inside the house
The kid hides under the bed
Mama searches for him
With a bowl of food in her hand
“No Mama, I ain’t hungry”
Says the kid as mama spots him
“Come here, my naughty boy
The moon is waiting for you”
The reluctant kid follows his mom
It’s a new moon day
No moon at sight
The kid bursts with joy
“The moon is on holiday
Mama, No food today!”
“No dear, let’s count the stars
The moon will be out anytime soon”
The kid refuses, mama relents
The pizza delivery boy vrooms past
The kid shouts in joy
“Mama, I want pizza”
Mom heaves a sigh.
