To the promiscuous
To the promiscuous
Even though the ocean dries not
In the rain, it’s salt content manageable
Birds come to drink
Soon they fly and run
For dry season introduces more salt
This devalues the ocean
For though it lies there
Its better avoided

Sycophancy
Sycophancy
He waved at us
Such a good fellow
Or so we thought
Now the eclipse is gone
And faces now brighter
We saw trails
He was the one
He that took our position
And drank our portion
Of the libation
Given to us all
Yet he calls himself a brother
If such is brotherhood
Shall I stay brother less?

Horrific News (on the death of a Friend)
Horrific News
The horror of dreams
Crashing and causing me flight
I saw him fall
Like the crashed plane
I had a hope
That of waking up
In blinking of an eye
The horror of reality
Men dressed in foggy
Singing an unknown elegy
His face upside turned
In his only chattel
Adieu Amis curiae
A tragedy without raison d'être

Is The Light Glowing?
IS THE LIGHT GLOWING?
They took it from the moonfaced
Our clans’ men
Through an inky war
Ink and voice their warfare
Unduly the light was taken over
This time gory
Some gloomy
Another they staged, taking over
Yet some inter-freedom wanted
From barking - to shelling
No victor or vanquish
However, some knew better
The light again took
Until 1’99 uncle brought it
Sorry...gave it to him

Dream filled Night
Dream filled Night
Like the river flows tirelessly
And the fishes swim continuously
Up the sky, the star shines brightly
So shall your dreams romantically
Let your inner mind see vision
That of a future passion
Sleep tight in thy mansion
And indeed inside thy cushion
Thy dreams are no illusion
But realistically an expression
So shall it become thy tradition?
Let thy love flow without intrusion
Let passion thy friend be
And thy heart unbreakable

A Soilder’s Anguish
A SOILDER’S ANGUISH
In a flash a flashback
The transmission of images forgotten
Images that halted time
And tamed a lion
The gory of lost sons
His eyes swells
Like that of a widowed woman
The egos of men
With or without consideration
Those who decided the fate of others
The horror of a haunted night
The cry of departing brothers
Brothers turned enemies overnight
Over the change of interest
The trauma of witnessing a murder
