Far from home
Our minds thus wander
To a land
Vast beyond the ocean
Where the whites lives yonder
With minds stone cold
We shun our homemade products
The fats of our toil
We reserve for aliens
Who in their world
Are not worthy
Of a strike of an applaud
Nor a job to be poor

Our children scavenge for crumbs
In the hands of strangers
In their home land.
Our leaders with alluring deceit
Conjure soothing malicious stories
To educate us on the benefits
Of this benevolent strangers

Our youths for ignorance
Scramble to be noticed
By this fair coated aliens
Who's helping outstretched claws
Would save us from the ignorance
Of our daring impulsiveness.

No-one will ease her of the heaviness
The heaviness of her yielding back
Nor till beneath her scorching smiles
But would rather
Dance to the sophisticated tune
Of the aliens piano
Neglecting the message
Of her talking drum.

**! mother Africa
How she weeps so
Beckoning on her children
To come back home
To the hospitable warmth
Of her essence.
Where we love
One another without fear
Nor look down
At our resourcefulness.

My heart is very fragile
So I kept it  from your love
Love is a painful wound
Yours, I might never recover from!
Don't know when I started this!
I think I learnt well from friends

Even if you love someone else
Please just notice me
Nothing hurts more than going unnoticed by someone you're emotionally attracted to.
Ouch! It hurts!

Deceit
Beguiling faces
Smothering soothing smiles
Dealing deadly dreaded dives
All Liars!
Clarity
Maybe just another word for
Shame
Reality
Maybe just another word for
Pain

All sides fair
Life's a big square

To gnawing twilight snare
Memories recall
To a bayonet dance

Twinkling
Colour highlight
Natures creatures chuckles
Blushing between blissful blisters
Painful!

Still, regardless of a rose's thorn
From within a beauty is born

This quarantine got me dizzy
Will someone help me
With a cup of hot coffee
        Or
              Should
        I
                               Go....... On
Being lazy..........
                   Lying..... on
       My bed
Starting at empty pages.....
Dabbed with ink
Of once beautiful memories.
Memories before I was quarantined.
