Dear Dec 2013
LOVE
like
none other
like
KNOW
one another.
More magical than anything that could happen under sheets
or covers.
Tangible connection collecting energy
until it's as heavy as
a brick of gold.
WE WILL
RESHAPE THE FUTURE
make stoney hearts lighter
Infect the defects
with a
revolutionary virus.
WE WILL
make the boxes we're shoved into
castles for the ecletic.
THE UNUSUAL BECOMES USUAL.
Our ballads of
sadness
depression
oppression
misunderstandings
become our
MANTRAS
for growth and change
into the grandeur
WE WILL
hold the wealthy hands
so poor in soul
WE WILL
feed the mouths that never stopped yelling how
THEY WON'T LET THE ******* GET THEM DOWN
WE WILL
COME TOGETHER
despite
IN spite
of our colourful backgrounds
WE WILL
SHOW THE SUICIDAL A HOME
IN THE VERY SKIN THEY OWN
how to love it so
OFF WITH THE HEARTLESS HEADS!
We will not stand to leave
to leave this life
having already
been dead.
CAROLYN BAYNE Feb 2014
WOMEN OF COLOUR
WHAT’S YOUR FLAVOUR
GALLANTLY TRIUMPHANT
EXOTIC COMFORTS
MAN-MADE FIBRES
AS IT TRIGGERS
THE JOY OF THE WORLD
FOR EVERY BOY AND GIRL
WOMEN THAT WOULD SHARE
OF ECLETIC HAIR
LONG OR SHORT
TO SUIT ALSORTS
‘TIS NOT THEIR OWN
FROM SOMEONE ELSE’S HOAN
ENDLESS SPRAYS AND CREAMS
TO MAKE IT SHEEN
FEELING THE FLOW
OF SOMEONE ELSE’S GLOW
ON TO THEIR HEAD
CHANGING IMAGES OF STEAD
IMAGINERY FALSE
JOIN TO THE PULSE
OF THIS SURPLUS ENERGY
AND SYNERGY
FOLLOWING FASHION
ENDLESS CONFUSION
FULL OF EMOTION

TIME TO MAKE A STAND
FORGET ABOUT TOWING THE BAND
BE PROUD OF ONE SELF
NATURALLY, AND NOT ON THE SHELF
WITHIN THE EXISTENCE
AND BEING PERSISTANT
CLAMPERING OFF THE MOTHER SHIP
AND THE WHIPS
CENTURIES OF CONFUSION
ALMOST AN ILLUSION
MOVING FORWARD TO NOW
HOW TIME HAS GROWN
TO BE ACCEPTED
AS TO BE EXPECTED
THE WAY TO BEGIN
LOOKING DEEP WITHIN
TIMES ENDLESS STRUGGLES
AND MOVING BATTLES
THE DREAM IS HERE
IN THE INNERMOST STRASTOSPHERE
BEING PROUD
SAY IT ALOUD
COMING TOGETHER
LIVING NATURAL FOREVER
THE HUMAN BODY
IS NOT SHODDY
IT IS THE ONE LIFE
OF STRIFE
IN AN EVER CHANGING ENTITY
FROM NOW TO ETERNITY
LOOKING TO SYMBOLISM
USING THE WISDOM
TO BE ACCEPTED AS YOU ARE
THE WORLD TRULY CARES

ONE LIFE ONE LOVE

PEACE

— The End —
