The Drowning Man

As I look pitifully at the expression of the drowning man; 
Picturing how he works his way, 
Trying his capability; pleading Nature for his life back.
As the going gets helpless, 
The drowning man makes scratches at the bank of the rushing brook;
 Gathering a sum of clay tightly in his fist; 
Death has his hands on him, 
Moving alongside him, through the mindless brook; 
Bearing him without mercy; stealing from humanity so helpless.

When a Free World Is Threatened

When a free world is threatened,
Letting everyone awake to security:
As the future seem so hard to predict;
When a free world is made homeless,
Parting us to think one another’s hate, or
Getting us united for a better tomorrow:
When a free world is given a will to fear,
The lonely looks on;
Sticking to a hardest clique: to call a family.

I Wish I Know Why

I WISH I KNOW WHY

A clot of blood into fetus my full form appear,
So unique I know for I have no siblings;
I rip pictures off my wall,
Names of fake dudes out of my list;
I wish I know why, attracting hate even when l'm not 
the blame.
A spirit become flesh out of nowhere is my 
knowledge;
Nature do explain, but,
Why am I the next trash in God's eyes to be called 
great?

No Racism

We have to accept every religion with respect and open arms.
It seem like we are here to eat, make good and then to die;
Getting hate, fighting wars over religious made covens:
We stand far from seeing love, peace or acceptance;
If we can’t live up to appreciate others for whom they are;
Where then do we go?

The Black Victory

Looking at the hues of these lives: 
Civilization has wasted so much time, 
Sharpening our old and rusted tool in hand:
We have come far with change, as nature brought the play:
Folks of a hue sail out of their coast, 
Navigating across oceans in search of wealth, land and fame; 
These sailors discovering other hues not as theirs; 
Showering these in-lands with gifts – 
Leading the in-lands through trade – 
Deceiving and robbing them out of their intelligence. 
Taking advantage of the indigenous people made possible:
Pruning the mess that has grown up without care; 
Bringing about the movement of the Republican Party; 
That set the crown of glory upon Abraham Lincoln’s head:
Not to forget the civilians’ blood,
That streamed in most streets especially that of Gettysburg; 
By the south war against the north: 
The greatest and all time American’s president got shot. 
Civilization did sigh for humanity as matters turned from bad to worst.
Many years after, many freedom fights emerged;
As Martin Luther king’s dream fought for civil right,
Breaking the neck of slavery and prejudice: 
We lived to see a black president of the United States,
 A dream That Abraham Lincoln also thought possible.

The Coffin Sways

The coffin sways;
The people grumbles;
Popping out drinks to libation,
Pacifying with the ancestors to receive the deceased;
As so is thought of the content in the coffin 
Unwilling to depart into the grave:
The coffin sways, and what is thought dead,
Has awakened from a long lasting coma;
Kicking and shouting so loud, but no one could possibly hear.
The coffin rest on holds of the family: swaying, and who cares.

After Humanity Ruin

From nowhere came a female rodent,
 With some couple of mice of her own; 
Looking far no, on the field of humanity; 
Drawing near in search for some grain to feed on: 
Unfortunately where they came to was a pepper plantation.
 Their disappointment didn’t guide them to back away.
The mother ordered her mice to scatter and destroy. 
The rush and work of the mice went on for a while, 
And then they stopped to cry out: 
“Mummy, the pepper hurts”. 
The mother laughed and said to them, 
“It is not for sweetness we’re after but man’s ruin.

Why We Eat

Starve that living one;
And then see, the dead cells failing to reform,
Bringing weaknesses;
Slowly stealing it out of breath:
Save that brute by an offer of a drink;
There, the lungs and the veins being weakened and 
shrunken,
Getting the living troubled by rage;
Desiring anything appetizing and edible:
Serve the living one with food,
Then, study carefully the change,
As the living hurriedly rules and devours the virtual 
as any brute could.

That Is Who I Am

Anywhere I appear I make myself known;
I can’t be obscure, and that is obvious:
I have an incredible innate as all humanity;
I have weakness too,
That at times set me to be down in the dumps.
If that hidden weakness is really a shame,
Then right at shame, we all fall short to perfection.
That is what it is,
Digging out meaning out of everything,
That takes my attention:
I’m so good at commanding alphabets,
But not better at numbers.
Eh! That is a place I own, that is who I am.

The Human Walk

Study the look of young folks, 
Employing their steps to abide by a routine course,
Their school has on going.
Some may miss out of being dunce; 
But many others may heed and may improve.
Study carefully the dudes, 
As they take off time,
 From class to keep tensions down for better tomorrow: 
They do come around in cliques; 
Making them known by what they wear,
Whether for peace or trouble the crowd they meet tells it all.
Study the look of students, 
As they close from school; 
Singing to one another; 
Taunting one another into a fight: 
These guys, some years to come, may affect their country; 
In a bad way or in a good way:
Anywhere you come across these guys pity them a lot; 
For some may die in jail: and some others where they could.
