Think first, act after
daunting one’s plight
Black lives matter
so does the white

this horrendous game
that has no shame
played by one lame
who’s hard to tame

the man gains billion
blames the one with none
jester for presidency, will he run
ready to rumble, the fight is on

need not to be fed
a garbage, that’s canned
Sarah, Malcolm, Jose, Ned
draw a line in the sand

Daughters, sons of Adam and Eve
you’re intelligent being who believe
in peace, harmonious profound love
and this fabric of existence, you weave

There is one race
on the face of Earth
dubbed human race
in a regional dearth
two eyes, a nose, one face
or Buddha like in girth

why do some hate
though not in their genes
organs, hormones, or gait
the color of shirt, short, or jeans
something that they ate
be it rice, fruit or beans

it’s taught by parents
not in blood, or heart
an act, played by runts
not in the realm of any art
so, stop being blunts
and listen to this old ****

Faded, cracked, on the wall
sitting on top, a barn owl
next to a tree, a window
singing a song, on prowl

she could hear eagles call
mingling with wolves howl
a whispering water fall
pushing the rocks to brawl

a big river in the Gaul
hissing cicadas crawl
even the calves, in kraal
school of fish in trawl

singing, dancing in red shawl
Janet, David, Kathy and Paul
young or short, old and tall
every summer, winter, or fall

My love for you
not like any other
why did you have to leave?
my dear sweet mother

Man has two faces
the inner fits Satan
the outer meets graces
one’s Godly, the other pagan

Every 12th of  May
a forsaken, lonesome day
even the sorrow mopes
life glances, then shies away

What is life
a wall of dreams
be it short, be it long
nothing is, as it seems
