Broken Afrikaans

die briesie van herlewing kom saam met u besoek

daar is 'n hindernis van byna 500 jaar wat ons suiwerheid geskei het

in velkleur, godsdiens en verhoudings
ons is van wortels gekastreer en gevoer met

godsdienstige ywer, gierigheid,
en wrede verkragting van ons voorgeslag

vrees nie die seë wat God stilgemaak het nie

die wind het gedreun van gehuil

of die son kom nooit op vir rus nie



the breeze of revival comes with your visit

there's a barrier of almost 500 years that separated our purity

in skin tone, religion and relations
we've been castrated from roots and fed with

religious zealotry, greed,
and brutal rape of our ancestry

fear not the seas God stilled

the wind muffled from howling

or the sun never rising for rest



For a friend from CT

Recycled Treasure

My heart has accepted every piece of furniture
you have brought in and hoarded, polished and stored, 
for show or hidden in the attic of cerebral storage. 

Cobwebs draped the entrances I walked through
without wincing, chasing extinguishing light…
gold tarnishing possibilities that I found invaluable.

Where Are the Bones

...He said: "I believe there is a God.
Something ingenious was most definitely
at play.
But, I've asked some other
reverends, pastors, and ministers,

where are Jesus' bones?
Not one convinced me, which repulsed
my eagerness to fellowship.

We have
dinosaur bones, giant and dwarf bones, 
archeologists artifacts and a slew of other 
things that prove that these historical events existed
or occurred. 
I'm a total believer of proof!
(with a grin on his face)
Can you answer that"?

The other guy paused and prayed
before taking the quiz!





He says: "the miracle is prophecy since the Old Testament. 

And the sacrifice of foul offering
became displeasing to the Creator's taste buds.

And, don't forget about Abraham who was willing 
to sacrifice his own son when God asked him 
to pledge his allegiance... an Initiatory joke
that the creator ante up one
with a pure scarifications and sacrificial lamb;
his own child!

You and I have bones from our parents
meshing. The sperm penetrated the egg.
Mary, a virgin, 
 impregnated by a message
that she would bear a child.

Without the meshing of two
those bones 
left the same way that they arrived... Miraculously
with dominion over hell and a graveyard".

The Song In Spirit

adjust the equalizer on a distorted aura

when they hear beauty with their eyes, they will play it again

A Dream Bail Bondsman

dreams are beings 
incarcerated inside of sleep,
and we petition for their freedom as poets.

Close your eyes, build a beautiful world
and bring it back in handcuffs.

Darkness the Cannibal

A breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
 
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.

Total darkness is a cannibal 
that feed on lighter shade shadows.

Live Streaming Suicide

Premature stars planning to shine 
from their burial grounds; They thought... 
Social Media is the guarantor,
but actually quelling the quality of life over 'LIKES'!
The noose (an employee)
willing to hangout with them until the end.
