Khoisan Nov 2024
I know
I never have enough
still the little I have left
I give to you
so when I run on empty
you would've been
a few miles ahead of me.

Salmabanu Hatim
My daughter screamed,"I hate you,
You are not my mum,
Sorry dear I am your mum,
From the day I conceived you,
A gift from Allah,
Stamped and certified by Him as your mum.
I am not your magazine to browse through,
Not your mobile that you charge and use me as you wish,
Or change as and when you want to,
Nor am I your footwear,
That you can have as many pairs as you want,
Neither am I your cook,
Nor your driver or your ATM card,
That you can cash whenever you want.
Whether you like it or not,
I am your MUM,
A relationship  that can never be erased or deleted.
Catering and caring for you is not an obligation but my love for you-my daughter.

Freedom
is
attainable
when there are mutual
consent
just like the multitudes
were fed.
5 loaves and 2 fishes

Be home
when opportunity
knocks
Your door
left open
— lights aglow

Khoisan Nov 2024
There are four
firewalls
in the square
attached
above his neck.
