"I have not seen
The likes of it!"
Reads a caption
On a Facebook
Uploaded utube
That fails not
To immediately
Grab attention.

A bird is seen drawing
Close to a pool
With a speed
Starved fishes to feed
Fishes, eagerly awaiting it
To regurgitate
And drop a seed.

I reflected
Making a paradigm shift
If a bird
In a way that seems absurd
Shows such magnanimity
How then we fail
To maintain unity?

Men are becoming on
Neighbors  brutal
Inflicting an attack fatal,
While animals
Are becoming humanistic
In a way that is fantastic.
In my country famed for unity in diversity phony politicians are breaking social fabric using divide and rule under the guise of ethnic federalism.
All Souls’ and All Saints’ were made to disappear
Easter is bad enough with rabbit eggs
And Christmas was appropriated by The People
As a tribute to (belch) Glorious Excess

But no one has taken Good Friday away
With gifts and treats and two-for-one specials
Down at Chez Bubba’s Discount Liquor and Smokes,
And Colonial Auto Parts stays open - why not?

But while the world spins along on its way
A few eccentrics remember Him this day
I'm late with this. I hope the Holy Saturday Hamster (who hides omelettes for good little girls and boys) isn't miffed.

That fat singer
Is getting
A divorce.

Not surprised,
She's the size
Of a horse.

Not interested
In who
She screws

Just wish the BBC
Would report
Some news.

Her hair's mostly shaved
       The remainder's curled
       The furious girl
       From Clown World,
       Calls me a fascist
       Calls me deplorable
       The angrier she gets
       The more adorable,
       Painted blue and green
       Her eyes are crossed
       She wins my heart
       My war is lost.

Hello Google,
Run me some searches
News from France
About burning churches -
Embers and ashes
Fixed by the bankers?
Pigs might have flown
And so might have tankers.
