Friendships that go the distance
Make all the difference
Through lines of continuity
Lasting a lifetime.

Acquaintances come and go
They don't really know
Same team
Same office
Same school
All friendly and warm
But when you part ways
You'll never see them again.

Or there is the reminder
everyone is a hero in their own melodrama,
hurt feelings
falling outs
blocked
miscommunication
blame

Let's let'em pass

Friendships that go the distance
Seen you throughout, inside out
ugly and beautiful
Know all the idiosyncrasies
Know what to give for your birthday
Know what your all about
Willing to work it out

Friendships which go the distance
Are friends with benefits
Unconditional accepance.

Acceptance connecting
Both ways.

We can surely say,
It makes it all worthwhile
When you have friendships going the distance.

For my dearest David on his birthday, the friendship which is going the distance.

Kerala

Nights like these
when the moon floats
on the creek, all pale
and swollen, I try
to sleep without dreaming
of a small child, still
and not breathing, like
a leaf felled too soon
during the season
of the monsoon rains,
heavy as the pain of a father
looking here and there,
everywhere for a daughter
somewhere in all of this water.

Donations needed for survivors of the flooding in the Indian state of Kerala. Here is one place you can donate:

Sunny day

Sunny day,
can you see?
You worked so hard
to give to me.
I am here,
are you free?
Without you
I wouldn't be.

The Reason

In life there is a reason for everything
Why the rain falls and why the birds sing......why we live and why we die....and why the sun is up in the sky
There is a reason why a person keeps popping back into your life.....sometimes things happen and they go away for a bit.....but they come back.....it is not because the universe is out of whack....but there is a reason
We are all gods creatures and we have a purpose....and a reason.....the reason why two people keep popping into each other's lives ?.....it's because God had planned for them to be together forever.....and that's the reason...and to tell you the truth a very good one.....just believe...

# it is the reason

A letter to my haters

This is a letter to all those,from whom I get only hate,
Because now I'm going to change their destiny and fate
This is a letter to all those who mock,
Because now I'm going to be heartless like a rock

Dear men, I did not cry because I was in pain
I cried because my efforts went in vain
Dear men, I didn't cry because I wasn't strong
I cried because goodness was defeated by the wrong

But now in front of you I stand,
I welcome you with a gun in my hand
But now I fight against the Devil ,
For the fair victory of good over evil

Don't think that I'm powerless and weak
But to take revenge, an opportunity I seek
Don't think that I can easily get hurt
Until I cover your face with shame and dirt

I am here to fight against all the odd
For now I am the only devil and the God
I am here to fight till the last man
The fallout of my rage has just begun

And now I'm going to be the enemy of their lives
And throttle them with swords and knives
Dear haters, you should be ashamed
Because now I am going to fight until your wildness is tamed

Pensive

Life is a series of moments unraveled
A continuum of time and space traveled
Ellipsis made around the earth by sun
A summation of experiences interpreted subjectively by one
Neurons firing and synapses receiving
But to think that this is all life is can be most deceiving
Life can be measured in statistics sure
But is it quantifiable that life is greater
Than any undeniable fact
Perhaps life is only defined by how we react

Ye Men So Coward Of Poor Uganda (Sonnet 16)

Ye men so coward of poor Uganda,
Why dost thou comfortably rest in bed
As though crimes extant all propaganda,
And overlook the rising toll of dead?
Ah, night is nigh, rise now or nevermore,
For deep in dungeons lies thy dear child
Who should have lifted thy hope from the floor
That bliss as merry birds spark in the wild,
As such would bloom again upon thy land
That now lies in a sepulchre of sorrow,
As of a pirate prostrate by the strand
With faded hope to sight a new rainbow.
O rise up now and fight for thy freedom,
Before the land sinketh in lasting doom.

#Shakespearean sonnet

This sonnet hath been written in defiance of atrocious acts by the current president of Uganda, he who hath been in power for more than 32years. This time round when he detained Bobi Wine, a musician yet politician who is now on the verge of death in dungeons unknown after being subjected to atrocious acts that deserve not even an animal because he stood up against his malicious acts, I had to pen this poem to cowards of my country (Uganda) who have failed to rise up for freedom. God bless our dear land.
