"diverse" poems
Collab, collab! Oh thoughtful collabs! Amalgamation of two unique minds, Merging of dual thinking labs! Cerebral workshop of life's diverse grinds! Collab, collab! Reinforced true! Melding of minds and honed crafts, Mounted up with bolt and ***** Assembled solid in monochromed poetic drafts. Collab, collab! A trend that's trending! A fad that now seems ever growing... Each other's style we will be wearing. Matching ensembles, yours for the liking. Collab, collab! More of it please! Ocean of creativity, pearls ripe for picking, Journey for two across artistic seas. Wonder who with next I'll be swimming...

There are some people Who think very logically They have a hard time Seeing anything that Doesn't make sense in Their minds and that Doesn't fit into their Ideas of what is Logical and right and What they can see right In front of their eyes There are also the People who understand And comprehend the World around them Through their feelings And emotions and Can see the bigger Picture and the bigger Plan easier than most We all make up our Own parts and we All have our own Purpose and even Though we are all Different in our own Ways we must learn to Appreciate the wonderful Differences that make Up the whole and To see and take notice Of the wonderful and Beautiful diversity of Life and of people and Of thoughts and even Of the Earth as well As we begin to Celebrate the diversity Instead of trying to Segregate and separate Ourselves based on our Differences we should Be trying to learn and Understand from each Other instead of trying To conquer and subjugate People to our ideas and Ways of thinking we should Be trying to see things From the other side of Things and understanding There is more the life than Right or wrong and trying To prove yourself to others And seeing that even with All of our differences we Are for more connected And alike than we all Could imagine and once We understand that simple Truth everything else starts To fall into place as we start To see the beautiful diversity And the wonder of life as We begin to see things More completely and Understand we are all Parts of one big great Diverse community that We call the human race

*I am an African My skin is black My hair is black I am black I take pride in my blackness For my colour is not a badge Of shame, but an identity, Yes black is my identify Africa is my identity I am the son  of the black soil, A soil rich in history And blessed with diverse cultures Each unique in their own way, I am an African Africa a nation of the oppressed But slowly rising to conquer And claim what is theirs From the oppressors, Yes the sleeping sons of Jacob Are rising,  slowly realising Their potential as nation , Yes my fellow Africans are rising The black nation is on its knees I'm a proud african, Africa my roots Africa my identity Africa my ancestral land Africa my home Africa is who i am I am African Copyrights.

Happy Heritage Day South Africa
Look here, Come closer and look, That's it... Close your eyes, No, please don't laugh, I'm serious, Right, now that your eyes are closed, Look at the darkness, Do you see the different shades? It's amazing how one colour can be so diverse, Imagine if we mixed the vibrant palette of the earth, What a wondrous and magical rainbow we could create, Come, let's go generate it... ©Rangzeb Hussain

The city of lights
You are the sky While I'm of dirt and earth Sharing the universe in separate realms Conflicting factions, diverse births I would forever look up Rest my gaze on the tide of the air And dream for our eyes to meet Temporary eternity that we would share I've cried many a teardrop But you can never know Because to you they never could reach For into my core they'd only flow But when you stare down sullenly Your tears would fall, soaking my plane I'd drink the drops voraciously Those gifts of love from heaven's rain Your tears would nurture the seeds I've planted They'd take root and flourish in the sun Resolve in my soil held firmly in place Thinking our journey forth would've then begun Roots would give birth to stem Which in turn, would branch out into leaves Plantling will eventually grow up high To give back the love, it constantly receives Such misfortune little sprout You can only grow so tall You can never reach that far You and I can only kiss the drops that fall So... My beautiful sky of azure I am but dust on fate's heavy feet We can only look to the faraway horizon Only there could heaven and earth truly meet

Heaven & Earth
We first sexed in a tumbling, fumbling manner; The time had come, it seemed to us, To consummate our ****** lust. The Valley was shakin' to The Rocks, A popular Irish band; We'd had our fill, I sparked the engine, And parked my bike on Techumseh Hill. The summit was dew damp; We spread wide our pants, Not knowing who should go for whom, So we relented to the crescent moon; I acquiesced to the shooting stars When my eyes Diverse moons have filled my nights, Long since the grassy knoll,

We are the kids – beautiful blank canvasses ready to receive the joy of life. We are the kids – hope & love consuming our souls, grasping at the shiny & new. We are the kids who played in the fields and danced in the sun. We are the kids with innocence in our hearts and a cheekiness in our soul. We are the kids who believed in a benevolent God and the generous teachings of Jesus. We are the kids whose imagination was an infinite resource - bounteous, diverse and effervescent. We are the kids who reveled in the fancy, the nonsensical, the romantic and the wild. We are the kids that couldn’t wait to grow up, We are the kids who believed in our future. We are the kids who never saw it coming. We are the kids who lost our innocence as soon we walked through the big school gates for the 1st time. We are the kids who were told to “think of your future” and to suppress creativity. We are the kids who were forced to grow up very quickly. We are the kids who didn’t know we were “different” but there were plenty out there who did. We are the kids who had to pretend to be what “they” wanted us to be just to survive. We are the kids who came home with scars every day – both physical and emotional We are the kids who endured the obscene words of Neanderthal hate every single day. We are the kids who were screamed at by our parents to fight back even when we really didn’t have the capability to do so. We are the kids who were told crying was a sign of weakness. We are the kids whose so-called classmates stayed silent when they did their worst. We are the kids where the school gates were no barrier to their lynching. We are the kids who turned quickly from being wide-eyed & hopeful to being terrified & desolate. We are the kids who dreaded every single weekday from first term to last.   We are the kids who fruitlessly prayed to a God who had deserted them. We are the kids taught by teachers who were found wanting. We are the kids who suffocated in sheer hate. We are the kids who took our own lives or at least tried to. We are the kids who self-harmed. We are the kids who sometimes never came home. We are the kids who survived but never really left the school yard behind We are the kids. Your kids. June 11, 2018.

Prolog: Foreplay opens with an aphrodisiac dubbed the mind caressing private chambers with passion, over time words stimulating nerve-endings for the ideal tease like the skin dripping of honey from the nectar of bees exploiting the fragrances of scented oils and balms or maybe vib’ing lyrics inducing a seductive calm compelling forces bombard the intellectual’s sanity as the proximity of the blackhole distorts humanity Love’s Play: Costars entwine heated bodies for love’s embrace as moments become endless as vectors of subspace sporadic movements take the form of blissful spasms while the players combine to mold a single plasm ringing chimes fulfill the awareness with sensations too diverse to classify for logical deliberations yet finally, the mountaintop of cliffs can be reached where there is no retreat and no return from its breach Epilog: Aftermath closes basking from the physical exertion as two kindred spirits epitomize timeless insertion gazing deeply into the abyss of the partner’s soul only to find comfort and compassion ruling the role can this be the earthly heaven that one truly beholds written in the historic words as the heavens foretold feelings ignite once again burning deeply within opening yet another intriguing act, one must attend.

Love’s Play
The diverse assortment of enrapturing conviction Is but cacophony to most other than me, Discord to the passionate, Defending concepts they find true Clamor to the indifferent, Those value peace and human happiness Above factual correctness For years they’ve all, with incessant attempts Given their utmost to indoctrinate me, The most easily swayed of all— But I’ve found in the rupturing of the fervent, All ideology, ethic, doctrine, And in the serenity of the agreeably pacific I’ve found faith, hope—I’m sure that’s my own, Art is by no means meaningless, I find, Especially so when inherent by human ability And ascribed to this lyrical poem I’ve crafted Consisting of what I, by my means, find true Diverse conviction is beautiful.

Diverse Conviction
I. Neptune’s Theater A rock spins through the universal tumbler and its warm blue pools calcify as turquoise Neptune in his cloudy blue bath bath builds a lace castle with his fingertips Sculpts a submerged eden of crimson and emerald where painted parrots chat up cardinals butterfly and angel fry sway with wave pulse and foliated coral fingers beckon from arched windows. Neptune’s children are flat and bright, spined and notched free yet entangled in lace mesh ecosystem beneath an array of bioluminescent stars as a gangly pretender watches and blows bubbles. II. Sapien Siege The hot acidic hand of death grasps the mesh rends and tangles the ecosystem shattered reef’s loosed children scream beneath planet’s stars. Butterflies impaled cyanide-swooning damsels mesh-tangled angels hauled heavenward coral to potash, corpses to coal. The pretender to the throne blinks rubs blurry lenses, kicks plastic fins and moves on to the next show Unseeing and unaware of the luminous filament in his wake. Self-appointed divinity, deus ex machina. ******************************************************************************************* Ann says: All of the animal and human characters in this poem (except Neptune and The Pretender) are named after coral reef fish. Coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems, are expected to be largely extinct within one human generation. Deus ex machina is Latin for “God from the machine.” Copyright 2013 by Ann Marcaida.

Children of the Reef
**†           †           †     A quorum of biblical scholars turned their doubts into thousands of dollars. Armed with Document Q they revealed nothing new but the dirt neath’ the white of their collars. A proud “health & wealth” Oklahoman was renowned as a gospel-tent showman. While the scriptures he twisted, their tithing assisted his rise from poor hick to rich Roman. A sexually diverse professor (assured he was not a transgressor) spoke only of openness glossing sin’s brokenness; rainbows and tolerance—yes sir. A Mormon, who lost his own ephod Realized he was running quite slipshod and invoked Joseph Smith. (Yes, it may be a myth— but it’s not like misplacing your I-pod…) A Christian whose faith was prophetic held to views that were truly pathetic. This crazed Pentecostal, not quite an apostle, had taken an End-Times emetic. A sober and staid Presbyterian was distrustful of thoughts millenarian. After smoking some bud, he awoke with a thud; in his sleep he’d become Rastafarian. A preacher who fleeced his disciples overdrew his own balance of scruples. He was finally captured (defrocked and un-raptured) and rent by his destitute pupils. A sister who waxed Pentecostal, mistook herself for an apostle. Speaking pure glossolalia she sure could regale ya’ with prophecy; crazy—but docile.

Christian Types in Limerick
Robert Frost once talked of taking the ‘road less travelled’. Well, I didn’t. When the time came, I blindly went and took the safest road. A very long path where the pitfalls were plenty. I stumbled in the bracken. Stymied by the darkness that fell quickly as I ambled along. The soul bruised, battered and exhausted at every infrequent stop. It was not apparent then that in this venture there was a bleak dead end ahead. I plowed on even though something inside was telling me again and again to turn back. But, slowly, a gleaming light of hope crossed my vista beckoning me home. I crawled. My strength regained as the light intensified. Then the end was in sight - the portal was within grasp. And so, yes, I now take that road less travelled. Standing tall and proud as I gleefully stride down its glowing thoroughfare.   Smiling at the diverse and playful changes that cross my pathway. All told, it’s never too late to trust your instincts and make a difference. Just ask me. And Robert Frost.

♦   ♦   ♦ She was an earnest devotée. Her ideals, birthed in Chardonnay were globally diverse (read: white). A liberal bark preceded bite. Her crystal clearer than her vision; she provoked bemused derision as she breathed intolerance toward all who would not dance her dance. She swooned for distant pagan tribes, attuned to their exotic vibes – rapt in multi-culti piety strangely deaf to her own society, judged by her as abomination; unredeemed.

The sisterhood of hu(man) kind was foremost in her earnest mind – even should that same sisterhood be sealed by her well-meaning blood.

Her theory landed far from her praxis spun, by default, on an evil axis. Hot with zeal she fumed and stormed quite certain she was well-informed, at benefits, non-profit functions rallies, boycotts, left-wing luncheons; warm with righteous spite for Israel, aiding and abetting Ishmael with fellow-travelers, like-minded similarly hateful, blinded, rattling sabers, scimitars, axes… (lunacy never wanes, but waxes hotter with the passing years as activists confront their fears). She finally shilled for the Intifada (stopping short of reciting Shahada), reaching out to the terrorist with righteous raised progressive fist… offering thus her neck to blade: collateral to be repaid by murderers who couldn’t care less about her open-mindedness.

DIFFERENT OR DIVERSE
My family is a bunch of animals. My mother is a lioness, strong, brave, and full of pride, with claws sharp as knives, for anyone that harms her cub she will strike. my father is a hyena, foolish, never serious, and a lazy scavenger, that doesn't do anything but eat the crap that he creates. My grand parents are elephants, big and strong during the day, blind and helpless during the night. My aunts and uncles are the herd of gazelles, they graze when they can, but when the lioness comes they silence and run away with fear. My dogs are the shade that comforts me from the burning sun of life. The day has come when the lioness shall not roam the tall grasses of the Serengeti. Without the lioness the gazelles are persistently grazing, depleting the grass, grazing and depleting until there was no grass left for me to hide in, they rammed and bucked at me like I had no right to grieve. I was a helpless cub on that day and I still am, wondering when the lioness will show up to be my heroine again. But as the gazelles buck and ram, a kangaroo and a zebra rush in, embrace me, and take me in, I now have a second family with: a savage tiger, Italian chipmunks, boxing kangaroos, kick-ass monkeys, elderly turtles, burly bears, religious zebras, and untimely rabbits. My second family is diverse, but they never do the worst just as my first. This is a story that I usually don't tell, but this my past life so I must tell, tell, tell... This is what God raised me to be, This for me and only me. One day the light will show for me, and me and the lioness will forever again be free, to roam the plains in the skies above, just like a dove.

Destination home... Making my way Sleepy heads leaning End of the day Different people Diverse ethnic races Same endpoints For us nameless faces Where we're headed Timeless cues Rain-stained windows offer Only blurred views Beautiful display Droplets colliding Like liquid missiles Crashing and merging Yellow street lamps Neons on buildings Vehicular signals Intermittent flashings Reds, greens and ambers Fighting for attention Blues, whites and their hues Feast for perception Myriad colours Refracted and broken Prism induced dispersal Little light show haven Quite the spectacle This dance and flight Kaleidoscopic effect Between water and light Rain didn't abate Unleashing full fury All of us still safe Capsule of tranquillity Watching the chaos Still silently looking Overwhelming wonder Heart is choking Found myself tearing At the sight of this view Realised for certain That I'm missing you...

*Poetry moves from within our souls, It's emotions pouring out Covering us in rhymes and flow, Like rain from the clouds* ***Infinite letters, words and phrases In various permutations we play Collaboration between heart and mind Breathed into these pieces that we lay*** *Touching lives with our written form Healing with words, what's poetically true Freedom of expression, thoughts and ideals Crying out in ink, until our sadness is through* ***Similar in thoughts but meander through individual routes We all sing the same but to different rhythm and tunes Inscribe our innermost but to varying worthy causes We all draw inspiration but from the same loyal moon*** *A different form of art, yet art none the same It's in the eye of the beholder, so they say Poetry is life drawn in pen, it's not an erasable game It truly breathes life, looking forward to each new day* ***We proudly fly our diverse flags United under one banner We revel in words of poetry In the hopes they'd last forever***

Poetry Breathes Life (Collaboration with The Girl Who Loved You!)
The great New York metropolitan stretching its  vibrancy trafficking its wears. Car horns combating in contemptuous arguments habituated eardrums unwittingly pulsating Great buildings upward; towering behemoths in grandiose splendor This great asphalt jungle sprawling its electricity for blocks, for miles The jazz of the city continues the chanting; the sounds of bass and the blowing of the **** sax, the horn, the piano and the drums drumming on its rhythmical beat Beating hearts feeling the vibrancy; the shock waves of nuances echoing the great hustle Multitude of voices singing praise to the different tongues; vibrant in diverse rejoicing, the poetry of men and women Metropolitans claiming the world condensing into small blocks and listening to its RHAPSODY.

VIBRANT HUSTLE A jazz-poem
From my perch,spanning the vast, fathomless sky at night, where 100 billion galaxies vie with one another, for foothold, shoals of fish on the swim in diverse forms of being ( or nothingness of various kind) in cycles  of birth from dust, growth, death in dark holes and rebirth. I now see only  a lone star above, cowering at a far corner, in silence anxiety ridden  as she's alone in this celestial grand opera house. Wonder, where had gone all, the spectacular display of star power, profligacy of fish of  ocean above proudly displaying just yesterday. Lessons, on equanimity perhaps, nature teaches,writing on the night sky.

Lessons on equanimity written in the starlit sky
a dark place, dingy and cobwebbed: the forlorn basement below an unfinished house; there is no hope of an HGTV house-flip or a makeover or the sort of boring/heartwarming story where some nice white family —or conveniently diverse— sets up shop, smash-cuts through a renovation and gets their dream home. no, the house will remain gloomy, this basement filled with emptiness; no one desires to come through the door, no one except the tweakers and the vagabonds and the runaways, the ****** and the pimps, the celebrities and psychiatrists, the demons and the ghosts, the preachers and their seething congregations of judgmental ****** that live across the street, and the ***** teenagers hunting for a place to try out *** no cleaning crew or maid service or organize-your-life guru or even the most experienced of all the world’s janitors could enter this house and clean it or beautify this basement or disenfranchise the squatters within; the neighbors just try and demolish it every chance they get, to rid their sparkling, spotless community of this disgusting eyesore.

the perfect neighborhood
I wonder where raindrops come from before they reach my window, A river? Lake? Ocean? I wonder how far they have to travel before they reach my window, A kilometer? Mile? Country? I wonder if these raindrops work together to sing as they reach my window, Plop-plop, ploop, plop-ploop! I wonder how diverse the raindrops are as they reach my window, Oh hello, I'm from Lake Ontario. I wonder if it's a wild party or wet war in the clouds whose raindrops reach my window, Let's dance! Fight me! I wonder how social raindrops are that reach my window, Stick to me, we'll become a downpour! I wonder if the cloud is the mother that lets go of its children to reach my window, Off to the lake, ma, see you soon! I wonder if raindrops thought they could fly but instead reached my window, Weeeeee-aahhhhhhhh! I wonder if they all fall but expect to soar as they reached my window.... Plop-plop, ploop-plop, plop, ploop, plop, plop....
