#humanitarian
Beneath the flickering of a streetlight’s glare, Her shadow sways, a monster in the midnight air. No words exchanged, just minutes of horrendous lust— She buries dreams that the world discards as dust. Her heels cling the cracked concrete, defying strength, Each step feels like a mountain, too high to climb. They find joy in loud moaning, homicide, and cigarette butts, But none of them want to hear the anthem she actually sings. In solitude, she dreams of a sky unbound, Of fields where her soul can amble and run free— A writer, an activist, a doctor, A gleaming star that runs over rudimentary scars. Yet again the night arrives, the golden cage of her life, Each stranger denudes, defying her inner scream. She looks at the mirror, at the dark— A ray of hope screaming to the walls: “I am more than this body, a glaring star!”

Whispers Never Heard
Cry. Don’t cry, Do not hang your head, my neighbors. You cannot choose when you die, When your woes are straining, The careful muffled sound of heartbreak Of the deep silence of the souls. A giant **** in his own backyard, It is “ride or die”. And you can choose how you die. And nothing more, and nothing more. And we’re no more, and we’re no more. But be alive, alive and only, Alive and only to the end. Wind, keep singing for them, do not wane, And in it, now forever. Arise, arise now, brother-soldier. Freedom is never free.

The tears flow for Ukraine
CONEIDER HIGH" Mmm life of stress, no rest. Nothang but Struggle, I ponder why it seems trouble. No one knows he struggled, Dadda sa'd tide stays not longer. Weather wiggled unstable'. Coneider strong. Clouds appear awesome and the top of the skies smell so handsome. Top on the peak of the world. Above adhere golden stones of light. Realistically loyal to life. Optimistically humanitarian. Much more to life than Destitute, if there's any infrastructural, love is, spread her wings she learnt to soar. Human is made, none cultural. Who did it save? Transformation does not come without individuality. Power of love create solidarity. '4gi'e me' f'r my flaws already bow' my head. I wish more freedom as free as tree (s) fixate hove on Cloudnine as I'm high. C9fm

My Magellan
He was lost in the spirited flow of a river, Later  found himself in this lady's boudoir, The circumstances to onlookers are little unclar, But suffice to tell, in water things were quite  fluid, The boudoir was hectic, he was more or less stuck. Don't think he had any serious complaint about it, Only hoped, this strange fact  be better explained. Her kind of explanation was rather queer, he felt! "There is nothing to be astonished, my dear I'm an ace swimmer, and was present there At the time of the incident, nothing more" She mysteriously smiled, adding a dainty twist. Well, a rescue mission, as we know is higly humanitarian, There are more than what meets the eyes, in this situation. He was of two minds, to remain there and to break loose, Life in her boudoir, he feared would make him a libertine!

The strange tale of one who fell in to a flow
Shackled imprisoned in an oval office Called Robben island Transformed Unshackled twenty seven years later Freed a nation from an apartheid regime Inspired the world from the Grand parade A Universal Icon Humanitarian *** laude Now honoured in the halls of Valhalla Glorifying God...Looks upon us With Love from the heavenly realm INKULULEKO AHLULA

Libertatem Victoria
Born into a world and taught to dream and die To have a life but not at the same time Never shown how to see when the assumed outcome is not met You followed each step accordingly, what did you expect to get? What will you do if perfect does not exist? And digging deeper leaves a hole that can't be refilled Go and get over, give yourself a rest The throne of want is the first step

Out Of The Ruined Place
The sun glimpses through the trees. Casting a shimmering light onto a dust covered world. You can taste it in the air. War is coming. But, is it enough to breathe life into a race full of martyrs? Probably not. Only to those who see through divine eyes know the end is near. By the hands of man, not God, the walls of the world will crumble like Jericho.

Jericho
tears in my eyes, my version blur, my heart pounds, my body shivers, push myself to the edge, for them, I must.... many thoughts in their mind, innocent faces, can not hide, I see... one and only thing left in my mind for them, I must.... (c) Ko Win Khine aka. D Hlaine (May 25th, 2011. NYC)

for them
The sky is falling The people are hiding The jackboots are on their way A mother is calling A child is crying Uncertain they'll live through the day The tanks, they are treading Across sovereign borders Some soldiers are dreading Their inhumane orders Though they have an advantage This war can't be won And that "collateral damage" Is somebody's son The victims of war Are the poor and the sick Slaughtered like cattle For the wealthy and rich

War Never Changes
Life is not a spectator sport If an injustice bothers you don't just sit on the sidelines take action If you want to see changes in the world don't just wait for others to act take the first step yourself Don't wait too long You don't want to die wishing that you had done more that if only you had truly lived and made an impact on others living selflessly instead of selfishly Hero's are often found in ordinary people who have the courage to do seemly extraordinary things We all have the same potential to take action to preserve our basic human rights and the rights of those around us and the potential to make a Global impact   If you observe discrimination  and injustice don't simply be a bystander instead take action By not taking action you are being part of the problem instead of the solution If you are not sure what to do talk to a trustworthy person that can help you if you need to make a formal complaint muster up the courage to do so You may discover that you are stronger than you thought you were more courageous than you believed yourself to be Make a difference the world is counting on you   the first step in making a chance is often taking action locally   Now is the time to make a positive change if you have not started already You may inspire others to take action but don't wait for others Make your first step today even a marathon starts with a first step .......

First Step
When I wash my dishes I wonder if it will crack the extremities of hot water mixed with lead steaming its skin making it dry and wet at the same time When I put my wet plate in the air the water dripping from its surface I wonder if it will become my heart the red moon that will drip with blood staining the floor consistent, but flexible When I put my dishes away I wonder if the dishes dry due to their exhausted fear from being touch for indulgence and thoes plates that crack finally becomes tolerant...

When I wash my Dishes...
In my love of day My love invents another day In my window night Another night is invented We are what we think So carnival of carnal imaginations Be still, learn to concentrate For the calligraphy of fate Shows sign-seeds of Syllable-clusters, rampant sparks That the stars in my hands Invents a touch that deconstructs Itself, these eyes that have Taken these pages by storm And this heart that cannot Let any portion of the World go unloved alone.

Time Split Open
That which is true surpasses time because it cannot be destroyed. Just like our words... They might torture, cage, and even ****** us. But the one thing they cannot take is our soul. Death will come, but our words will never die. Our soul will live on and resonate in others. The words that we have spoken can never be taken. Our soul will always be free.
