"rafiki" poems
Life is school, this is silly.
I was always excited for recess,
Born to be Wild like homeboy Free *****
Dustin checked in to eventually check out.
He knew there was so much more that our existence was about.
Went into the wild under the guidance of Rafiki
Nemo found himself at Free Thought Academy
Lion King was seen weeping only tears of joy
At first roar of his cub, darling baby boy
He knew to nourish this being's mind, body, and soul. So he gained deep wisdom in the art of breath control. After this recognition, he taught his practice for free. Nowadays everything is fluid and the kingdom thrives with ease.

A Poem: Revolution Africa
All hail the Lion King
King Flair Simasiku
A certified change agent
You seem calm, cool and collected
How did you overcome fear
Dining with the king of the jungle
You even spoke their language
When you say "Roar", they roar
When you say "Walk", they walk
Where is Rafiki?
Did he give you the pass code
How did you surmount the insurmountable
"This is not a small something oh"
Success is not for Lilly hearts
But brave heart like you
They said real shekels lays in their mouth
Can you help demystify this mystery?
Tell me King Simasiku
How did you overcome your fears?
How did you win their hearts?
Was Rafiki instrumental
For he is the mouthpiece of the gods
He is the most popular Monkey on earth
Plesse say a word for us
Tell us King of the Jungle
How can we posses a Lion heart
When our leaders coveted the Lion share
They **** our national assets with impunity
Tell me King Simasiku
How do we blaze the trail
Just like you did
The whole world will hear your name
Be kind, take us to your Kingdom
Far away in Namibia
From you, we seek true knowledge
You inspire us King Simasiku
We are a people suffering and smiling
But if you teach us your ways
That we might be bold as a Lion
Then we can face our fears
And make 2020 count
Just like the Eagle Fola
She already raised the bar
And you, you killed it with this exposure
Brace up for impact
This is no PowerPoint
This is no Photoshop
Not even paint or corel draw
This is reality, get close at your peril
The morale behind this
Face your fears or die trying
Even if you perish
The world will remember you
Do it not for yourself
But for your Simba
That they may enjoy tomorrow
There are Scars lurking around
But we will always run to Rafiki
The just and Only Wise One
We refuse to be manipulated
And flee to return like Simba
We will fight for the glory of Africa
And chase every Mufasa out
Wake up Africa!
The hour to liberate her has come
Just say the word my King
And we will follow
Revolution Africa!

Love thy neighbour as you love thyself
I am thy neighbour, but you do not love me.
When "our way of life" is not really 'we' but your perception of who I should be.
We are family.
Until we disagree.
On the treatment of those who identify as LGBT-
Q - for Queer
Something you claim to fear
Yet
Something you love to leer at
privately
Must our realities be the same,
Must our differences cause me pain
Must you hurt us, condemn us, curse us and shame
How powerless you must feel
To attempt to halt a love so real
We will not let you steal
The beauty; the life that makes us surreal
We will continue to love
We will continue to laugh
We will continue to live
WHOLE.
You cannot break us in half
I am your friend
Even when you're not mine
This hatred will end
And one day we will all shine
- signed, Rafiki
