Poem ‘Oblivion’
Drastic times calls forth bold demands,
Not quiet hearts or passive hands.
For change to rise, the roofs and roots must shake,
To build a new, immoral and unethical ways must break.
Sometimes it takes the patience to fall,
To raise up justice, loud and tall.
Opposition paves the path, it’s true,
For something better, bold, and new.
Wrongdoing for too long has been bought.
For so long, people of the past have fought
Acts of misconduct is in plain sight.
We must fight wickedness and injustice
With all our might.
Together we must unite and stand strong.
Before we go down the path of oblivion
From them doing wrong.

On the tv show Perry Mason
The guilty admit their wrongdoing right away
By the end of the show at least
They apologize and show remorse
This show was popular in the fifties
A time when people expected others to do the right thing
On today’s detective or murder shows
The accused person who is caught by DNA denies it
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
Shows no remorse
Does not apologize
Takes no responsibility
I liked the guilty on Perry Mason much better.

In the insurmountable obstacles of life,
Love, LOVE.
With no torn apart starts,
With no borders nor walls.
For, love is a guide to humanity,
And love bridges all gabs.
For, love heals,
And love leads.
Ofcourse love can be a great ordeal,
But, it forever remains a great deal.
Even the bible concurs
1Corinthians 13:4–8
Love is patient and kind;
Love does not envy or boast;
It is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
Love is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things,
It believes all things,
It Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love, LOVE
Love with no bounds,
Love with no fear.
For, love is a beautiful thing.
And love is a special delight.

It amazes and
Wow’s me
That some people
In this world
Will see and
Quickly accept
Wrongdoing then
Hop right on the
Bandwagon
Like it was said
Birds of a feather
Flock together

It is a poem nobody wants to write,
About what will never be right,
About those who think they have the right,
To take from a child all that is bright,
And make the sun disappear out of sight.
When something is so wrong,
Where do those who do this wrong belong,
And for how long.
It is beyond my understanding,
With the sun in my childhood mostly shining,
How one could contemplate this kind of undertaking,
And think they have a right to belong,
In the world free of any thoughts of wrongdoing,
When so many look forward to hearing the sound of children singing.
Yet we must write about this wrong,
Put it in a song,
For to reach even one, before they do this wrong,
Will encourage a better song,
About one less wrong.
That moved us further towards the light,
And a future that is bright.

When youth is so vibrant and sets us aglow,
and no words are mentioned through sorrow:
we are the seekers of wild adventures,
pushing hard beyond all boundaries!
In the prime of everything that sparkles joy,
we aren't afraid to explore the great unknown;
falling to earth and savor the complicity of sin
as the Fallen Angels did: we will pay too dearly!
A motivation to declare life and safeguard it:
is to cleanse ourselves of all wrongdoing,
of all vanity to pursue vainglory as the great ones did;
are there precious thoughts that gathers no dust?
We can find them in acts done by saints living or dead,
or in a hymn to love: whenever it's rejected as a vain thing!
When we witness those tragedies that make us cringe:
is it a punishment from cruel Nature or angry God?
Young lives are mainly lost to Fentanyl and syringe!
Should we go on, making believe each mind is sound?

Tall Her Eminence stood, calling my name,
My first-grade teacher of notable fame,
Who had taught most all my kin years before,
Now she was summoning me to her court.
She was judge and jury, penalized fast,
Any wrongdoing or mischief in her class,
No one could counsel me in my disgrace,
She was the defense too, for goodness sake.
I had committed a horrendous crime,
Someone’s stomach had felt my fist big time,
Now this tiny hoodlum was called to pay,
For what he had done at recess that day.
As I slowly approached, a friend of mine
Whispered, “say you’re sorrow, might work this time,”
As I stood before the bench for judgement,
I said those words, vowing I would repent.
Reprimanded, I quickly retreated,
Glad my life had be spared and not deleted,
Learned great lesson about grace extended,
On which I routinely contemplated.
Strange how such events look in retrospect,
People like her, I will never forget,
Those who taught me to behave as I ought,
As that first-grade teacher of mine, Miss Mott.

What seems now old
Used to be utterly new
What was previously told
We cease to over chew
*****
All that is old hold a treasure
If only we all knew
Just weigh and measure
Under the veil a unique hue
*****
Out of memories we grow
Been taught lessons to the bone
We do reap all that we sow
And for wrongdoing we atone
*****
Pleasure and pain what we gain
In a life not taken for granted
Who can stop time or rinse rain
Or suppress anger that should be vented
*****
Life will continue to hurt and heal
Vomit its villains to mould the meek
Send its saints to instill ardency and zeal
Never always the ones at the wheel
*****
Deeply inside my prayers I recite
To always endurance and faith embrace
Be human of worth, decent and upright
And paths that stain never retrace
*****
A great depth of gratitude to God we owe
For both strength and forbearance
For age that vigorously flow
And for the gift of Love in abundance
*****
An abiding passion for her Majesty the word
Delving into my smile and feel would draw
The music of heart in verse softly whirred
My poetic human soul imbued with awe.

You drove many species to extinction.
You plundered, thinking all the earth was yours.
You dumped your waste causing gross pollution.
You blatantly broke all of Nature’s Laws.
Just where have these offences now brought you?
Surely you see that you’re in one big mess.
Your arrogance and greed just grew and grew.
Perhaps it’s time to come clean and confess.
But oh, you will not admit wrongdoing.
You got away with it, so you assumed.
From the mess you’ve made there’s no undoing.
Can you not see your species now is doomed?
Your game of greed was but a shabby show.
Now from this precious planet you must go.

Wrongdoing such as cheating, lying, bullying ...
Prohibited strictly and used often as warnings
This fact relieved me, and left me a feeling
Any of which will be no longer our problem
It took me a long march of experience to tell
Those tricky things can indeed achieve winners
Alike the rich, well-known, and high officials
Needing to stand upon other's behaving finer
This assimilated human education with health care
Though they alleviate badness as mutual effect
Neither education eradicated human misbehaviors
Nor health care eliminates diseases as a fact

We all destined to suffer pain and death
and great sadness on earth.
Pain and suffering are always inevitable.
Men suffer because of sinfulness and carelessness.
Human brain has the highest intelligence
but their choices and will power cause negligence.
We all live to suffer, to prevail is finding meaning through suffering and dying.
People need to learn how to settle their arguments without resorting to violence.
Threat of resorting to killing is irresponsible
and irrelevance.
Men must seek God to amend for their wrongdoing,
accusing blasphemy is lack of reverence and insulting.

OBSERVE others before you speak
BLAME games never prove successful
JUSTIFYING wrongdoing is always wrong
ELEVATE the interests of others with kindness
CORRECT others with understanding and wisdom
TAKE time to listen and learn before you speak
INDIFFERENCE shuts the door to objectivity
VERIFICATION is a must before we can wisely trust
INCLUSIVITY goes a long way in seeking to be objective
TIMIDITY has no place for those seeking to be just
YEARS of experience with people encourages equality

It was Jazba and lots of Chewed Khat
That saw me enter an altercation
With them boys in blue add a rivally
Between service men and Guradians
The sworn rivally the had just crossed
The thin blue line and now twas war
They knew and were ready for it..
An ovepowering sence of wrongdoing
Plus an age old saying.. You Know Roi
You Just an intellect Playing stupid..
I was rushed and bumpend into the Car
The Grand Tiger serged forward as..
Mik On one Tango Sier Do yo read me over
Am out on a plea bargain yet it saddens
That the powers be had to use tramped up
Charges to remand me.. Twas good for...
My training, Team Eagles we always Wanna
Fly high as Silver stars we like to be Just
Roi 1 Alfa did I say they called You.. Stupid..
Them pistol service guys and their.. kengz
Incaceration schemes yet I harbour no hard..
Feelings.. Muses are at the behest of a Smile
What we do best is write.. habouring with intent
An intent to commit a crime isn't one in its esssence
