Pharmacist with the funny face
I’m not sure how the lines were etched
and set in place across a severe brow
like storms had raged and winters chill
had set the frozen expression
into an acid dipped contour.

Each time I went with a prescription
to collect remedies for a cough and cold
a limp here
a sore there
some racing bp charts
an erring heart muscle.
His face remained stoic.

His face alone would frighten me
as pale as death he looked at me
over the rimmed glasses
and just that one second longer
than necessary.

My guilt soared. I felt like an addict
come into store to fetch
a high kick of something
suspicion hidden under the GPs scrawl.

I dared to look back
flushing red at his store.
It became a battle of the blush.

Twice I won
And never went back for a whole six months
Is he the guy that protects our streets
from the throaty lozenge
that may contain crack *******
hidden in its entrails? I dont know
but I always felt he had a secret sleeve
from where he pulled out those potions!

The voices inside my head are taking over.
These u-u-uncontrollable quirks I have.
My eyes twitch as many times as a heart beats after doing a triathlon.
In my head of runs a marathon of thoughts that don't belong,
things I can't do because they're wrong.
Within my blood stream flows 1.26 grams of dopamine given to me by doctors who don't know how to fix my situation,
only mix prescriptions to intensify vexation. Pharmacists eyeball me fearingly because I appear to be nothing but someone with chemicals wandering around into the little bit of a brain I have left.
Serotonin to regulate my mood, appetite, and sleep but I still only wish for all of this to be nothing but a dream.
All of this making my intestines mutilate, slowly dying inside as if I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Otherwise known as I.B.S. but I know for a fact that this is all just a bunch of B.S.
My enterochromaffin cells may just burst, I am often told.
If only I could tell what was real from what was fake.
For I also have A.D.H. - whoa! What's that?!
Sorry, where was I?
Oh. Tourettes Syndrome.
I guess I just twitch it off.
Maybe these are all figures of my imagination from the hallucinogens.
Who knows?
After all, I am a schizophrenic.
Any constructive criticism, guys Please feel free to say. By the way, I'm not a schizophrenic or any of the above, these were just some thoughts roaming my mind.
We,
the uninsured
being inured to this,
the will of gods.
Our lives doled out in tablet form
from birth to breath by those pharmacists
with death proscribed,
prescription wise.

My eyes have seen the crookedness that shake
foundations,
three times a day we pray again to all the gods
to open up and swallow pills and god just nods
his head,agrees that we need medications.

The ***** top bottle throttles me
but I am strangled happily by those 'dolls'
the greens and reds of fol de rols
a plague on gaudiness unless instructions say,
take the pills three times a day.

These games we play, I'll say,
are just a side event,a small diversion to prevent us
from ever having to face the facts,
but we're inured to that and so,
on and on and on we go until the end is reached.

I plead,
just one more pill,
it appears that this is not the will of god or any pharmacist,
I missed the last bus home,but home is hell and
so that's just as well.
I wait in the wings to see
what tomorrow brings.

Sisters: my veins drain into the sand.
My grave exists on wood.
My eyes close.

The crows pick at my womb; my brain.
Each nail tattoos my blood
into my bones.


My dying started long ago;
it started in my youth,
when Teacher told us

boys pull our pigtails,
shove us down on playground pavement
to show their love.

It started in high school,
where bare shoulders blinded boys
from their books.

And now we are twenty.
Now men's fingers pull us into the dark.
Now the alley concrete burns.

Now a suit and tie
asks if his defendant
could see your breast and thigh.

One out of every three;
if we escape their claws
we do so narrowly.

If we flee when they call,
we risk the slice of a knife
or an exit wound

or an asphalt tomb.
Whistles peel at our skin,
the wolves to our moon.

My body is a temple.
I open my womb
to expel all who intrude:

wrinkled politicians with withered pens,
with legalese, God's pharmacists,
the filthy, forceful tongues of men

who chain my worth to fertility.
I drive them from my holy rooms
with whips of cords.


My body is limp on these boards.
My skin is an ossuary
for relics women will soon possess.

It is easy for me to die.
I bleed for my Chinese sisters,
slain before they speak;

for my Indian sisters,
doused with acid,
stolen while they sleep;

for my Saudi sisters,
given a warden,
kept from their own streets;

for my American sisters,
losing their bodies
to others’ strict beliefs.

I bleed, I bleed;
come, stand in the scarlet mud.
Come, bathe your feet,

wash your hands
in the dregs of my end;
come, purge unwanted seed.

Come, drink of my last breath,
women who wear veils,
women who sell ***.

The crows circle,
the vultures too--
I smell of death.

I am not weak.
I will not forgive them;
they know just what they do.


Now, my slaughtered sisters.
Now, my survivors.
Set down your stones.

Take the nails from my feet,
plunder my bones.
Wear them as amulets.

In three days,
I will rise
and forge weapons from your cries.

NOT LOOKING AT OURSELVES

August 7, 2009 - Damascus

Ayad bin Izzet


Why is it so hard to think of ourselves?
Why is it so hard to change bad habits that seem to possess us?
It seems to be a near certain fact, that humans do not like to think of themselves; certainly, very few seriously, deeply think about themselves. Who asks himself: “How do I look like to people?” “How do I sound to people, when I say this and that?” “Why is it people like certain aspects of my behaviour?”
When you open up such a subject to people in general, it is common to hear: “Look, I don’t care what people may think of me”. But an answer like that will not help you go far in this world. You do need to pay attention to what people think about you, otherwise you will be, de facto, behaving like a tyrannical dictator – you are, in effect, alienating and restricting the advancement of your varied self interests.
Why you ask me?
Because we all need people if we are going to succeed in our professional and social lives. Without the agreement of people you cannot succeed, unless if your work can survive within a hermit’s context.
So why are people so antagonistic to change themselves?
I think that for people they are scared of thinking about themselves because they fear what they might find out the nature of what is existing within themselves.
Another reason, is addiction. A person may simply be compulsively addicted to the harmful personality he has – yes, even if he knows that his personality is harmful to his own self interests.
I talk about this subject because we all do need to change our selves, our personalities - since all the troubles of our entire lives emanate from one source: we dysfunctional humans!
Where else do they come from?
And yet, anyone who has ever tried to explain to another person their faults will surely go nowhere. No one is interested. I know one lady who I call the ‘Pharmacist’ because she lovingly showers everyone else with advice, while she herself cannot bear to hear one word with respect to her faults. And then, as the years passed, I came to realize, why all people are basically ‘Pharmacists’!
People have an obstinacy that harder than leather, colder than an icicle; we simply will not improve, as human beings, if we remain this determined not to reform our minds.
And there is nothing else to add on this sorry subject.
How pathetically sad.
A fine epitaph on Humanity’s grave.
Nisha Oct 2017
My father, he always has so much to say,
you know.
He loves weddings.
My daughter,
yes,
she’s always been so smart,
and we’re so proud of her.
He says it like he knows anything about me.

I nod and smile,
and shrink myself in front of the men.  
What is there to do but pretend?
No one needs to know about
the ways that you made me unlovable,
the way I spread my legs,
the way I strike a match.
We don’t talk about it.
It’s cultural values,
or something like that.

Look at the happy couple,
interchangeably
pharmacists, physicists, or physicians.
The groom smiles,
the bride does too,
they’re both so
good.

I sit there
and dream
of it.
A mandap, a
great big white horse.
I would be forcing it,
I knew,
but I wanted them to see me in red.

I wanted to walk
down that aisle alone,
and smile, demurely, smugly –
look what I did.
I got him,
I
wore him down.

I dream like it makes it redeemable,
the things that I’ve done.
How bad is the punishment
if I deviated with best intentions?

We hold onto these tiny ambitions,
the boy
the buffet line
and the bragging rights,
like it undoes the damage.
Julie Grenness Feb 2017
What is it really like to be old?
Read along, and you'll be told,
Well, there's spectacles and hearing aids,
Also along the way, by the way,
There's dentures in glasses,
Zimmers on greys who want to make passes,
Then there's incontinence aids, bad hips,
Appointments at medical specialists,
Then you're off to the pharmacists,
To get all your scripts,
Then there's the alphabet song,
Read along, read along,
A is for Arthritis,
B is for Bursitis,
C is for Constipation,
Always a grey consternation,
D is for Diarrhoea,
And no doctor wants to know ya!
Finally, Z is for the big sleep at the end,
No wonder geriatrics go round the bend,
Yes, greys, these are our golden years,
Have fun learning, no need for tears!
Feedback welcome!

                          **hahha love ya Brother
Just trying to flow with a fellow BElieVER. In poetry and the power of Love. (In poetrys artform)
On the street edgings
spring
pharmacists,
fledglings,
peddling their wares and
nobody cares.

More people are done by drugs people have done
and it's not any fun
anymore.

I leave them alone now and get
by without them,
somehow
life seems a
lot better.

There Are MANY Jewels In...
... The Crown of Life...
  
And A BIG ONE Is...
Being Able To THINK... !!!
  
A Jewel That Links...
To... POSITIVE Things... !!!
  
Because Those Who DON’T...
And Take Life For A JOKE...
Tend To Hold Fools Gold...
That Leaves Them BROKE...
And In... Lonely Zones... !!!
  
However... Being Able...
To Keep Yourself STABLE...
When You’re Alone...
Is A Jewel That Dethrones...
  
Things Like Misery...
Because Like They Say...
It Really Likes Company...
That Can Damage Families...  
In The WORST Kind of Ways... !!!
  
But It’s Also Said...
That To Find A Good Wife...
Is A JEWEL That Rests...
On The Crown of Life... !!!
  
Now I Really Don’t Know...
If It’s An Accurate Quote... ?!?
  
It’s Said That Good Wives Know...
How To Make A Man WHOLE... !!!
  
Or In Others Words BALANCED...
Another Jewel In The Crown...
That Defeats Getting Drowned...
When You Face A TOUGH Challenge... !!!
  
Like To Stand And Face...
Those Who Deal In HATE...
  
A Jewel That’s CRUEL... !!!
That Has NO CROWN... !!!
  
It Just Causes FROWNS...
And Fools Who ABUSE...
The Crowns’ BASIC Rule...
  
Do Unto Others...
As You’d Like Done To You... !!!
  
And RESPECT Your Mothers...
And Your Fathers... TOO... !!!
  
Unless They’re A Part...
of ******* Crews... !!!
  
Because... WITHOUT THEM...
How Could There Be A YOU... ?
  
So RESPECTING YOURSELF...
Is Another... Crown Jewel... !!!
  
UNLIKE The One Seen...
In The Crown That’s Used...
By The British Queen...
So Don’t Get Them Confused... !!!
  
The Jewels In The Crown...
That These Rhymes Speak About...
  
Are NOT THOSE That Shine...
Or Are Those That Are STOLEN... !!!
  
They Are Those Enshrined...
In Standards That Focus...
On... Living Life...
WITHOUT Dealing In Potions...
That Leave Folks BROKEN... !!!
  
Like Stocks And Brokers...
of... COLONIAL Rule...
Who ENSLAVED And ABUSED...
To Obtain Their Jewels... !!!
  
That Are Born From Falsehoods...
That Refuse What’s... Good...
  
Like Natural Food...
Another Crown Jewel...
That Will Serve You WELL...
And Maintain Your Health... !!!
  
As Does The Jewel...
of Knowledge of Self...
That Breeds Spiritual Wealth... !!!
  
That Will NOT SELL...
It’s Soul Well Short...
  
Like People Now Caught...
In The Trap Where Cash...
Is ALL That They Live For... !!!
  
A... DANGEROUS Road...
Where Crowns DON’T GO... !!!
  
Because Greed And Vanity...
Deserve NO THRONES... !!!
  
They’re For Dogs Whose Bones...
And Souls Are... COLD... !!!
Like The Blackest Holes...
And Those Who Mould...
How People Are CONTROLLED...
  
But The Crown of Life...
Has Jewels That Are BRIGHT...
That DEFINE What’s RIGHT... !!!
  
Like Using Your Mind...
To Express What It Finds...
About Life’s Designs...
And To Share Insights...
  
That Are THOUGHTFUL And WISE...
... As Well As Being PRECISE... !!!
  
A Jewel With NO Price...
Like... Getting Old... !!!
  
So Is The One That Holds...
The... Number One Spot... !!!
Because It Comes With WISDOM... !!!
  
A... VERY RARE JEWEL...
That’s NOT Found By Everyone... !!!
  
Because Most CAN’T See...
Beyond Lust And Vanity... !!!
  
And This Thing Called Money...
That’s Just... PAPER And INK... !!!
  
Or This Need For Vaccines...
To Stop Us Getting Sick...
  
When The Jewel That People NEED...
Is To Question And To... THINK...
  
BEYOND Talk From Pharmacists...
... Politicians And Medics...
And Their Packs of Scientists...
  
The Types Who Said Things...
Like... DON'T Deal In Cannabis...
Or We’ll Lock You Up With Crims'... !!!
  
Yup... The SAME HYPOCRITES... !!!
Who Now Want To GIVE YOU IT... !!!
  
As Long You As You...
... ACCEPT A JAB... !!!
  
People Really Need To...
... THINK About That...  !!!
  
Because THAT Jewel Is A SCAM... !!!
  
You See The... Jewel of...
Knowledge And Thought...
And Common Sense Born...
From Using Your Thoughts...  
To Be Those That ABSORB...
  
What It Is That Links...
Yourself To WISE Gifts... !!!
  
Is A Jewel That’s PRECIOUS...
Just Like... THAT RING...
That Was Made For Kings... !!!
  
The One Where You...
Use Your Brain To THINK... !!!
  
For... YOURSELF... !!!
And NOT For The Crews...
Who Use Jewels To ABUSE...
That... DIVIDE And RULE... !!!
  
So REMEMBER That...
It’s MENTAL WEALTH...
That’s The Jewel That Really...
Will Serve You WELL... !!!
  
And Is One That Will Help You...  
... LAUGH And SMILE...
In The Face of What Are...
The... TOUGHEST TRIALS... !!!
  
And Is The Jewel That You'll Find...
  
That's MORE VALUED Than...
ALL The Others COMBINED... !!!  
  
That Are Part of What I See.....
  
As Being.....
Not the type of crown that most people think of....

worrying of a brain hemorrhage from illicit
things or prescribed demons,
a coronary on the verge of happening,
a massive overdose just waiting,
a psychiatrist not really solving,

friends, saying take this
pharmacists street and legal,
medicate your will into a blue green tired
witching siren screaming into wigging violence

take smoke shoot **** hit bang wig go off get on get off
you think for ten minutes slow decay fast death worlds fall around you,
no outlets, no day sleep until you take somethings,
drink gin fall in your puke smile
never
again.
Mateuš Conrad Oct 2015
the donkey-drawn cart etches the night with the remnants of a forgotten soberness, and for all those 1930s american sensibilities that spawned al capone and many more pharmacists of lost names more associated with mt. everest and mt. rushmore - a siamese of both heavy baritone drone song and a lotus dance on the windowsill emerges to illuminate over the cloudy night, so at least one fallen star might strike flint-on-flint with this coal heart; but on a sober note, if whiskey tangles words, let the same whiskey allow the orca thought to exhaust the use of words and make entry into the tomb of sleep more pleasant.*

it was shiva on the windowsill bopping along to
the evolution of classical music:
not much drumming in beethoven, is there?
no wonder modern music took to excess drumming
to the point of shunning the winds and the galloping horses
captured with the lazy swing.
but the best beer i ever drank was - franziskaner weissbier...
i tasted a melody of vanilla in it,
then i downed a bottle of whiskey, and as rich girls
selling advice said: alcoholic men are unavailable...
em... we are... but to cats...
i can get the she cat’s attention in her cushion in the corridor
to walk up to me while i walk down the stairs and
when descending start to wear an imaginary niqab,
she then decides to prance along to my twitchy eye comedy
and the stroke...
we’re available alright... but not for self-help therapy sessions
of two rich girls trying to aim at a powerless caesar with
fear of virtue and criticism - i’d allow your disciples to learn
the same mistakes as you before selling them advice
elephant in heels lawson and rayner - i have a french attitude to death...
ah crap **** crème brûlée (è eats the last e.... crem... and û = oo, like
drool - two point connectivity in the u like i dotted to an i to double up,
and the remaining e is missing, added for annoyance when the
é stresses the bull charge) - when will i regain my body without your subjects?!
tomorrow? golf help me, eagle ahoy!
let them the same freedom you had and **** up,
don’t let them **** up with your advice... at £500 a piece that’s
too much of life wasted... let them **** up as you did and stop giving advice
as a business model for you to **** up some more!
out of the two? persia lawson i’d do blindfolded with her mighty thighs.

p.s. as nietzsche suggested, we will only continue our belief in god if this parallels our belief in grammar, and since i've taken advice to do the opposite and bypass the twinned trajectory of god & grammar (=) having instigated my own presence and prevalence to understand these insignia (≠), i de-categorised several words, leaving each use of a word to float in ambiguity where obvious, although by stating this i also managed to conspire against another thing nietzsche said: a thinker who tells us what is thought and the manner in which it is thought? what a *******! well, my redemption comes from the fact that nietzsche prevailed in a belief in grammar to the extent that his writings are aware of linear limitations of an aphoristic narrative, not the geometric complications spinoza favoured.
Mateuš Conrad Oct 2016
i'm not Agatha Christie in terms of volume,
but i still feel a sickness
      when i'm the foetus
    and someone cuts my hands off
          that are attached to the umbilical cord
that's the mother that's the keyboard that's
    the cyber web, and what not.
i guess it's unforced haiku incision:
    poetry or how to keep a **** in yer ***
in a crowded train...
           they always say that: keep it to yer self...
true that, but when it's waking up in the early
morn and ******* hangover, even the Chinese
poets would applaud the effort...
                     excusing the pristine haiku and rhyme
and getting knee deep in **** -
sure i could have become an engineer
or an Apple pioneer talking about a revolution  
that never ends but actually ends when the next
revision pops up on the speedy shly
               for all 'tings said: Sean was always going
to say all things, a little bit shooner...
      Mish Tooshpencepenny -
                        he does say money-penny, against the obvious,
total badass spy work, that is.
the clocks are dead, the blinds are up, but it feels
like morning, as i lie in bed i know
it's the morning sun knocking on my eyes:
it's less dictatorial, actually everything feels less
dicta, there is no need to pass on the information
of any kind, imagine: morning sun and all the things
that desire for everything to be less rummaging -
the morning sun, a sketch of how it actually feels less
intrusive than what the hell happens in the afternoon...
to be exact, half past ten a.m.,
squash and contemplation of the anti-gentlemanly
consideration of a "stop the quirk **** reroute epi",
lapse into the metabolism, like any addiction:
worthy the romance, bro.
                       and no doctor could write a better prescription,
doctors are famous for their chicken-scratching
type of handwriting, they're one and truly kindred
to be in the white-pill mafia with only pharmacists
able to decipher what is generally thought to be a cipher
morse code...
                          now, if you ask me, i see a poem like
this and think: also a prescription,
              but less white-pill blue-pill and more a hook and
an offshoot for any analogous or otherwise narrative
in a person's daily hygiene / narrative;
i don't know, you might read this and automatically suggest
to yourself that you swallowed an octopus,
                 or that you drank some consecrated holy water
out of the benediction urn in a church...
                 whatever i did, i still remembered my first
lesson in sign language in a primary school playground,
five steps to say it:
a. left palm canvas
                   with index and ******* paintbrush
      slap
b. as           above, although reversed, slap with
         knuckle side of fingers
c. wedge a V / Y          of the index and middle
                            fingers to the side of the canvas (palm)
d. then make a fist and thump it against the palm,
e. the raise your thumb with the fist still intact
           and move it away from the left palm....
psst....
           you just said: y don't you f off?!
                                               oh not personally,
i'm just teaching you sign-language i learned as a kid,
passing on the genes, as it were....
                                             either that or it's me lying
in bed trying to think whether my body is the parasite
with a finite contract, or my ego is a parasite with
a deluded infinite contract - well mascarpone macaroons
to you too... don't know, just felt like saying,
what with the killer clown craze
             and the frivolous: ever dance with the devil
in the pale moonlight?             stance of the old waggler
being all hushy hushy, and not so much pushy pushy
in a public debate; for your eyes only ta d'ah!

Doctors, nurses, firemen,
Scientists, caretakers and others in health care are praised for their work,
Except Pharmacists  during these lean times,
They are also on the frontline to fight the corona virus.
They  toil on and on,
Standing for hours serving patients,
Listening calmly to their complaints ,
Dealing with their bad moods,
Preparing boxes for each patient's and see they are delivered on time to their houses,
Theirs is a thankless jobs,
The least appreciated profession,
I see them performing their tasks silently
They too should be recognised as key workers,
They too, deserve due respect,
Instead they are not recognised in the medical fraternity and Government for their performance.
PRAY the Pharmacist Board and others would wake up and give them their due recognition.
23/3/2020
I have seen many Pharmacists inU.K and other places especially in these times working without any appreciation from Health Care. Please let them be under key workers category

A normal day changes into a nightmare,
One two three, soon the numbers rise,
Soon nothing left but to act quickly,
Constructions of makeshift hospitals with beds and critcal equipment necessary to fight the corona virus.
All hands needed at the helm
To steer through the storm of the deadly virus.
Scientists, doctors,pharmacists paramedics, nurses,carers,
volunteers, donors manufacturers to cleaners all deserve an ode and special prayers,
Claps are not enough,
Thank you's are not enough,
These people live on remote control,
To save and protect lives their first priority.
I pray to Lord to give them strength and courage to heal the infected,
To give solace to those who panic
The will to serve humanity.
The spirit to care for and support one another,
Lord,you are strength and refuge,
Guide them,
Reward them in this life,
Answer their prayers,
And if they die in the service of humanity their afterlife is in Heaven.
Amen.

****** into the vacuum of this universal tomb
Into a prison of total darkness and utter gloom

I dream of doctors, pharmacists and people like you.
They look at me, the way anyone would like to be looked at

Just another equation in their perfect heads
If it weren’t for law, they’d all be dead, bled and shred.

Like the food people are, how they take advantage,
Temptation kills, cannot comprehend how too even manage.

I’d Love to feed on their pathetic souls
We’re all dirt, and their the holes

I love to kiss your eyelids and burn your face away
Enjoy your last because it’s a good one today.

I want to watch you drown in your blood.
Dedicated to doctors & others who manipulate and take advantage of others for monetary greed. ~ This poem means something to me ~ There was speculations that i was going to commit suicide last year (2016) ~ because of this i was sent to a hospital/suicide center and i was stuck there for a week and kicked out of college for a while. **** the doctors & guidance counselors

But When You Eat Food...
And Take Food From Your Plate...

... CORONA ABSTAINS...
And Says... " Hey It’s Okay ! "...

To REMOVE Your Mask...
Cos’ It Then Gives You A PASS...
For Food To Get Through...
And... Inside of You... ?!?

Now As For World Schools...
It Seems New Gender Moves...
Are Something For The Youth...
To Now Get... Used To... ?

Well Me I'm Confused...
But What About You... ?

Who Are Now Parenting...
And Are Male And Female...
It Seems That You've FAILED... !!!

In Your Bible Class...
Because Adam And Eve...
Was Clearly A FARCE... !!!!!!

Which Suitably Leads Me...
To... Freedom of Speech...

I Thought Human Beings...
Could Now Speak FREELY...
WITHOUT Cancel Police...
On Internet Feeds...
Causing You Stress...
For Things You Express...
That May Cause Offence...
To Those Claiming Their ***...
To Be... DIFFERENT... !!!

So These Days I’m STUMPED...
By Guys Like Donald TRUMP... ?!?

Who STILL DOESN’T Seem...
To... REALLY BELIEVE...
That Corona Is REAL... ?!?

About The... CHINESE... !?!

Who AGAIN... APPARENTLY... ?!?

Have Caused The World Spread...
of These... CORONA DEATHS... !!!

Across This Planets'...

So Now Peoples Thinking...
Seems To Be SINKING...
Into Simply SUBMITTING...

For The... Powers That Be... !?!

And These Institutions...
Now Causing Confusion...
Like The Group...
That's Called... W.H.O.....

A... HEALTH Organisation...
Where Confusion Is Stationed...
Within All Their Statements...

" Lockdowns Were GOOD ! "...
But... " Now They Are BAD ? "...

Someone's Being... HAD...
Are These Groups Run By Hoods...
Or Just... CONFUSED Humans... ?!?

To Be Ready In... WEEKS... !?!

While... CERTAIN Cities...
Get LOCKED DOWN COMPLETELY... !?!

And Then... Governments...
Say They Could Close For MONTHS... !?!

BEFORE ALL This Stuff...
.... I’d Written A Poem....
That Was Called... ENOUGH... !!!

Which Basically Said...
That... Marketing PUNKS...

Who Keep Running Their Gums...
About... VIRUS Vibes... !!!

That Are CLEARLY Now Causing...

Us ALL...

...... “ CONFUSION “...... ?!?
Simply, as the poem says SMH !
My Africa

In Africa the only recognisable diseases are ***/AIDS, BP, cancer, cholera and flue, but no one recognises a disease like depression. Its like your mind haunts you, as much as you try to run in those bushes looking for the nearest light it stalks your footsteps like a hyena following the trail of blood. Its like a huge web that can not be untangled, you feel like your mind is drowning you and the only thing you can see is it smiling and hear it laugh, as you try to gasp for air.

In Africa no one recognises this mental illness but it has let our brothers and sisters hang from a tree, lie lifeless in a pool of blood streaming from their wrists, it has let them choke on pills 1,2,3,4, they lost count now the bottle lies empty and the soul staring at an empty body. Who knew depression could be a serial killer and even justice has failed to adhere to its oath to safeguard and protect its people. In our african culture we laugh and say drink a lot of water it will cure that head. Growing up bringing more and more burdens to the poor soul. I also once thought it was a joke until the pharmacists told me “that would be 16 dollars sir”.

Until you are a victim you will never appreciate how dangerous this creature is and we let it roam freely, feed it, drink with it, party with it and dine with it only to tuck it in at night. Its time my Africa recognises this creature. It haunts not by age, not by intelligence, not by body size and not by wealth. It feeds on the weak mind. “Im on anti depressants” i said, “ha ha ha at such a young age kuzviitisa unenhamo dzipi iwe usina mhuri (in english what problem do you have when you don’t have a family)” they said.

Continue to laugh my Africa, who will be left to bury you. Despite the size a problem is a problem my Africa; until you understand that depression will soon be the number one killer, but it would be too late, when they release the statistics we will be already carrying flowers to our brothers and sisters graves reminiscing “he/she would be turning 25 today”.

Wake up my Africa there’s a killer on the loose.

Yours The Beard King.
