The day I opened a Bible was a tale of two cities,
The best and the worst of times,
I could no longer lay back and leave the sand in my hourglass,
watch the days of my life drift,
while logans lurk,
wolverine around the brook in the forest,
looking to claw the hope away,
make a ridge between the family I claimed to love.
There seems to be harmony in passions,
But not even Timmy knows which spell Tabitha will cast to cause more division.

The continent of the canine always barking with it's mouth open,
Feed me,
We cry,
now we are fat with corruption,
preying on the piety of poverty,
prophiting leviathans,
the cultish land with a superstition,
fearful never able to hear the mission.

We hold fast but not to the word,
starving ourselves from understanding,
traditions trump truth,
as we defecate more dangerous nonsense into our ear holes,
perhaps we're better off,
we have some peace and food,
we don't have the rat race,
maybe I've been too sheltered,
failing to truly discern the state of the land that houses me.
I couldn't even see that my house was burning but it was cool if  it was watered down by a firetruck .

I used to think that every African knows Jesus. Sometimes I act like I don't.

I STAND FOR PEACE

I am an instrument of peace
I preach peace so dont have ******* off like a flute
But I know these gees leaving a high life will wanna ******* off like am a kush
Shushhhh
Shushhh to these bodied Able men who don't mind Killing their brothers like Cain
I stand for peace so let peace Reign
What is the joy in causing a fellow pain?
In the name of politics our brains even cease to work and we act like Zombies, [Blood thirsty]
Our leaders don't mind seeing the nation in chaos and the blood of the natives popping like Champagne cos they wanna win a championship game...
****!
If so then I guess our leaders are "Game boys" they wanna offer us as sacrifice so they could hit a "control".
Control? Our red, yellow, green don't even work, we are too wise to be manipulated like lude dice.
This should be the our motive our loyalty shouldn't  be bought at any price
We stand for peace we not in support of any vice
Let those with ears listen to this advice
We cannot be used as bait we are not mice
I choose a piece of peace cos I don't want to hide

Peace

Primeval drops concealed
in meteorites cascading
on a coagulating planet
where temperatures dove,

just enough to hoard
the lymph gingerly forming
oceans springing life, birthing
after many million years

of labour humans, hiding
inside their beings composing
their bodies dooming,
them endlessly to need

liquid blue paragons covering
the surface of a rocky sphere,
while only few dare to dig in
deeper. Of the entire treasure only

one percent can quench
the thirst of living creatures yet,
as all diamonds on Earth entice
ignoble notes of greed,

the exchequer is governed
by unfair rulers careless
of the poor, albeit their poverty
is by them imposed.

I spoke words of water
cycles to the kids who walked,
miles with buckets to polluted rivers,
frantically running to place

rusted containers under
sporadic tropical rains. They listened
and looked at me in awe,
uncomprehending why

some had less and some had more.
To date each time I open
the faucets each drop,
reverberates my gratitude

as my skin absorbs, particles
saddened by the unjust
sharing of a gift
given to us by stars.

in this world
the drums of scrap
steps leading
CIA man nodded
neutralize it.

"So we understand yes?"

"Fascinating."
