On an island kissed by sea and sky, Where winds blow soft and people sigh, Lived a girl named Masumbuko— Her name meant pain, and life moved slow. A house of many, food was thin, Love stayed quiet, locked within. Mama was tired, worn and gray, Baba stared as dreams slipped away. Masu, strong but still so small, Carried water, cleaned it all. School was...

There are places not meant to be spoken of. They say beyond the edge of stars, Beyond light’s last breath, Where time forgets to tick And God no longer watches— There lies The Dark World.

There is a door no one speaks of. It is not built of stone, nor carved in the timber of old houses, but hidden deep in the marrow of the world where beginnings were never written, only uttered once by a voice that no longer is.

Marie lit atoms' trembling core, Her lantern glowed through science' veil; While Rosa sat and shook the war Of silence—made the strong rails pale. Malala, bright with sharpened pen, Still sings where tyrants silence books; Jane healed the lives...

A pale ray bleeds across the swamp. Slick ivy coils tangled tight, choking voices into damp grass hissing...love? —drowned before heard— They say Mother Nature provides but she doesn’t shield— we live for ourselves, as the swamp feasts on our marrow. She taught us: you either hide from or become the man-eating ripples. You have to get your shoes dirty to not be swallowed. “The water,” my mother warned, “takes...

Our hard work put in grades To a future that’s printed As people and trades become money that’s minted Our peace slowly lost to a world full and grey With a price tag and cost We sell our souls away ...

I once took my mother’s pearls and wore them to kindergarten. I wanted to look like an Adult— a word now bitter on my tongue. In playgrounds, we believed in monsters— now we drink with them, learn their masks, mirror...

[Verse 1] The lithium, the satellite The blood moon in a sleepless night The reels you posted, burning bright Still echo in my chest The AI wrote a lullaby The sea caught fire, the wires lie But somewhere deep behind my eyes She dances like the rest [Chorus] There she goes, my beautiful muse There she goes with nothing to lose There she goes, and I light...
