Inside the great big global village not everything is rosy even a cat knows it a leaf can sniff it. The Moon shines not in every night nor God promised always a blue sky. Still the roses bloom Cinderella has the lot the reasons to groom. The richest among the folks turns philanthropist in the globe. The wisest among the men celebrate the era for it’s the civilisation at its peak. Hooray what now triumphs at last is the wisdom and humanity! Really? O please tell me? Not very far, nor for much, just because some differ in faith mothers and fathers left in pain. Not because they are to lose Rohingyan sun nor the land beneath their feet but in no time their sons and daughters can be put to death into fire that too before their eyes before the silent established world!

Doctor, Doctor give me the news
#*“Come, all you who are thirsty,     come to the waters; and you who have no money,     come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk     without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread,     and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to Me, and eat what is good,     and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to Me;     listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you,     My faithful love promised to David...” Seek the LORD while He may be found;     call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways     and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them,     and to our God, for He will freely pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,     neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth,     so are My ways higher than your ways     and My thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow     come down from heaven, and do not return to it     without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish,     so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth:     It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire     and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy     and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills     will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field     will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,     and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD’s renown,     for an everlasting sign,     that will endure forever.” ~ New International Version*#

Threaded brows and polished nails, Pouting lips and ruffled skirts. Doing it slow, with a Magic Mike look-alike. Hosting shows for the richest of the slums. Wearing glittering rocks,  buying Vuittons. Stolen dollars, well spent before their time inside.

Pre-Prison Party
Already over the sea from her old spouse she comes, the blonde goddess whose frosty wheels bring day. Why do you hurry, Aurora? Hold off, so may the birds shed ritual blood each year for Memnon's shade. Now it's good to lie in my mistress's tender arms; if ever, now it's good to feel her near. Now drowsiness is richest, the morning air is cool, and birds sing shrilly from their tender throats. Why do you hurry, dreaded by men and dreaded by girls? Draw back your dewy reins with your crimson hand. The sailor marks the stars more clearly before you rise, not raoming aimlessly across the sea; the traveller, though weary, arises when you come, and the soldier sets his savage hand to arms; you're first to see the farmers wield their heavy hoes and to call slow oxen under the curving yoke; you rob boys of their sleep and give them over to schools, where tender hands must bear the savage switch; and you send reckless fools to pledge themselves in court, where they take ruinous losses through one word; the lawyer and the pleader take no delight in you, for each must rise and wrangle with new torts; and you ensure that women's chores are never done, calling the spinner's hands back to her wool. All this I'd bear; but who would bear that girls must rise at dawn, unless himself he has no girl? How many times I've wished Night would not yield to you, the stars not fade and flee before your face! How many times I've wished the wind would smash your wheels, your steeds would stumble on a cloud and fall! Jealous, why do you hurry? If your son is black, it's since his mother's heart is that same color. How I wish Tithonus could still tell tales of you: no goddess would be more disgraced in heaven. Since he is endless eons old, you rise and flee at dawn to the chariot the old man hates, but if some Cephalus were lying in your arms, you'd cry out, 'O run slowly, steeds of night! ' Why should this lover pay, if your husband withers with age? Was I the matchmaker who brought him to you? Remember how much sleep was given to her loved youth by Luna - and she's beautiful as you. The father of gods himself, to see you all the less, joined two nights into one for his desires. I'd finished my complaint. You could tell she'd heard: she blushed; and yet the day rose at its usual time.

If I could pinpoint the exact moment your breath touched mine washed me over in ocean waves sea creatures glowing in delightful recognition as the seedlings of connection shimmied into our being and, dancing within me in its own lifeforce your mind a living, breathing animal your heart, purring and whirring its sacred forces into my molecular structures your soul throbbing in mitochondric pulsing (*oh what a delicious vibration of ribosomes*) Between us, we hold the true treasures close, in frothy                        tenderness a purity of the expanse of our universe, swathed in prismatic color colors that shift, these fresh hues for which there are no name they are lucid and fine-woven as silk histories yet deep as earthcore your eyes, voice are forever burned into my own every day scriptures that rock my shattered parts into wholeness and, like ancient magic, I conjure forth the holy gospel rising from our bones every second of every minute as our deepest fires our most secret filth our murky corners our darkest hours we weave into light brilliant and lustrous multi-layered in the richest folds of the earth and as you place me upon the shores of your garland-graced                               throne Now I'm alive in a new kind of light and all I can do is love         and love and love

I may not be perfect, but at least I know who I am. I may not be a fighter, but I know how to walk alone in dreary desserts. I may not have wings to fly, but my dreams have. I may not control my tears, but at least it’s not fake. I may not be the richest girl, but guess what? Who cares! I may not write the best, but my words are true. I may not be loved, but I am in love. I may not express myself, but my eyes don’t lie. I may not be perfect, but it’s just me.

Like a male monkey you rises up And thumps hard your chest-it is you and you only! O Man! You forgets, who you are and what you are is Nature’s She generously gives and she avariciously takes- Just a few chances she is giving you to repent before she ruthlessly returns She is a sharp, doubled edged sword-merciful and merciless! Man, Humanity is not hostility: Humanity is humility! Like Sheol that is never satisfied you want to swallow the whole world Like death you want to take everything, big-small-you want to stomach all Everything you want to keep to yourself, to be to your entitlements You take and leave nothing at all for the harmless hopeless-the voiceless Yet you easily forgets, when the angel of death calls it’s only you and your soul in burials Your ill amassed pride, wealth and health is not with you anywhere in this your brutal trials Man, Humanity is not gullibility: Humanity is generosity! O man! O man! You fills the whole world with mortality You have killed the sole essence of the soul’s endless immortality With your undignified dishonesty, your free-will to filthy immorality War you begins wealthy to get-war is a supernormal profiting business Man, Humanity souls has never been subjects to severity but sanctity! Innocent-as little as little children-you murders-they were inevitable! Common civilians’ deaths are collateral damages-inescapable! You forgets who you are-you are a little loaned, little you returns for judgment Here no allies to look after your backs, no cracks to corruption kickbacks- It is the fairest of all hearings, a ***** for a ***** it is not for a big spoon! Man, Humanity is not ignobility: Humanity is dignity! What you are given to govern you governs not What you are given to take care of you pilfers all For you and your lineages eternal legacies-the richest ever to have graced the earth! Yet you forgets, Master a little while returns to put you to a rigorous account And whoever much is given-that much is also expected, what will be your report? Man, Humanity is not royalty: Humanity is loyalty! Humanity is a community, not a sorority of individuality! Humanity is not infidelity: Humanity is honesty Humanity is not how wealthy: Humanity is how a loyal legacy Humanity is not how large is your multinationals entity: Humanity is how huge is your small heart-its hospitality Humanity is a humble history, a saintly story! © Kìùra Kabiri.

Lost to backdrops scrolling past, She sits knitting in the carriage of a train. The vague needles They scintillate and glimpse With the cadence of the wheels – Upbeating ceaselessly. Strips of tiny loops And eyelets like dewdrops Of condensation Grouped on the superior rim. Once in a while, She gives a heave To loosen more yarn from the skein Of Filipino-made wool, brushed worsted weave. Spun and carded from the richest fleece, Deeper in the wicker basket by her feet. The needles flash, With ancient rhythms and attack Of duellists in their chainmail coats. With little hesitation she can tack From plain to purl to blackberry. Count back by rote or slip a stitch While the fish-eyed gimlets gleam. All gather profusely in her lap, As windfall trove, rich-patterned And warm with peach-fuzz nap, All crafted from a single line of yarn. Marvels fall continuously from wise Spell-binding hands and all is well for now. (9/11/13 @xirlleelang)

Mending Queen
I’m the husband of a woman married to a lucky man. It’s her desire to please him, in every way she can. No one’s better as a cook, her home is clean and neat. All who know her love her because she is so sweet. How can one man be so lucky? He’s blessed without a doubt. This woman who became his wife, is beautiful, inside and out. I know this man quite well, and know how much he’s worth. If happiness were dollars, he’d be the richest man on earth!

I believe in one church. I believe in an inter-racial and unbiased church of many nations. I believe in one church of many traditions. I believe in one church not hemmed in by history or by man-made borders. I believe in a God for whom his pallet of skin colours reflects his love of diversity. I believe in God-given racial difference. I believe in one creator God who made all humankind equal. I believe in Christ’s one church that reflects our maker's love of difference. I do not believe in uniformity. I believe in the Christ’s common language of love for one another, for neighbours and for enemies that transcends local dialects. I believe in one sundry collection of priests who are called by Christ to serve one God together, saved by His one sacrifice once and for all time. I believe in the promise of one resurrected church drawn from all nations, from every generation to meet her bridegroom, Jesus Christ. I believe in one eternal wedding feast at a table prepared by God which features everything from the finest vegetable samosas to the richest steam puddings. I believe in one extravagant Father who has built one massive mansion with many rooms so all his people can come and dwell together. I believe in God's Kingdom come.

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving And all through the forest All the turkeys were gathered From the richest to poorest For a meeting was called To plan their revenge For all of their loved ones Who were ever cooked or singed Now this turkey rebellion Was long overdue How would they get even? And what would they do? I was there that night When their meeting adjourned Keep reading this poem To see what I learned This meeting went on For what seemed like an hour 'Til a gobbler stepped forth In their circle of power Now all the turkeys agreed To this gobbler's idea They'd all eat some exlax And give them diarrhea No matter how they cooked it Bake it or boil it The humans would spend All day on the toilet So, remember this Thanksgiving As you try to relax Have plenty of TP For those sudden attacks

'Twas The Night Before Thanksgiving
The streets are clear, we're hydrophobic Hoods propped by hats and socks pulled high; The rain brings peace to the agoraphobic Puddles form moats and clouds fill the sky. Splash, droplets hit the window, chauffeured by the gale outside. Squint your eyes and flash back boats tilt starboard, with the tide. The captain shouts to the decks, paranoid 'Clear the decks and brace for impact' Without turbulence we are disenfranchised Boredom becomes us when we're boring. Shake it off and stare at the dot to dot the residual carving of water as it slides Another droplet falls beside it, parallel it aligns, growling thunder overhead. Without stirring we are robotic workforces Without awaking we are left inside The constructs created for us, by corporate- conglomerate elitist-psychopaths. Two drops of water on the window simmer red with burning anger. Crash lightening sears the sky Rage becomes you, girders melt. The starry night undercurrent, flings us backwards, never up, as democracies which seek to serve sink into a sea of stocks and shares, the wall street journal sits atop the captains lobby, economies were meant to tumble as the working classes fumble for bread, men in suits gaggle and toast to the millions they left for dead. Resistance is futile, when eighty-five of the richest suit owners sit on currency that was meant for the three point five billion who aren’t driven by gluttony.

Chrysalism
*she returns from her classes, ballet, yoga, core something and Zumba for flavoring, her hair, an upward, toe pointing cannon of mop mess, her face glowing flushed, one look and I know she is both, morphing high, wipeout exhausted a little ritual she performs somewhere between "it was great and she (the instructor) killed us," auto sub conscious, she looks herself over, twisting elegantly like the Argentine tango dancer she is, in the mirrored closet doors raising both arms to see (show off) the sums of her endeavors, the exoskeletal musculature she has earned, a life long effort, like a prize fighter as he macho enters the ring, an alpha male gesture if ever there was one, made over to say, hey boy, look at me! *and the boy looks her over, always thinking, but never revealing, that it is her muscles of mindfulness and mercy, that take his breath away, the ones that are worked out daily, the ones that surround and work the heart beating, the lung inhaler of humans in need, exhaling the richest oxygen for others to breathe and the boy does his service, providing a "wow" or "very impressive," only you and he know his real thinking, and his muscle memories secret, you to keep, just between us, and his secret identity, only love poetry...* 8:52pm 7/20/17

There are two types of people in the world. People who don’t have enough shoes and people who… There is one type of people in the world. People who don’t have enough shoes. The poorest people dream of one pair of shoes- a right and a left, a pride to possess. The not-so-poor-people dream of two pair of shoes – one pair for casual, one pair for dress. The not-so-poor- but-not-so-rich people dream of four pair of shoes- one black and one brown, one to walk and one for play. The not-rich-but-better-off- than-the-not-poor people dream of multiple matching shoes- one for each outfit, a new pair each day. The richest people dream of endless lots of shoes- two for every outfit winter, spring, summer and fall, some that match their pets and some match nothing at all. Yes, there is one kind of people in the world. The kind who love shoes, and that makes us the same black, white, yellow or blue. So, let’s love all people, people with shoes. And give shoes to the shoeless so they can be loved, too.

Gunboats ahoy there’s pirates about Speeding from Somali’s shore, A fast flimsy boat and some black skinny men With grenade launchers, cannon and more. They’re coming to capture the tankers They’re coming to capture the crew They’re coming to take you hostage Because fat cats will pay cash for you. It’s happening more every day now Ships are held to ransom for gold, This contagion is out of hand now The Somalian pirates are becoming so bold. Hard men in the west prepare crackdowns Gunboats sail for the Gulf as we speak, With instructions to shoot to **** now And make eradication of pirates complete! But you ask, why is this happening? Why does a man, a pirate become? What instigates this crazy morphosis From fisherman to pirate with gun? Somalia has no Government to speak of, It collapsed and went long ago. No law or army in place here, Life is dangerous, chaotic and low. Some fat cats made use of the vacuum They ditched toxic waste in the sea They irradiated the coastline region Making this a poisoned place to be. The coast folk were dying in thousands Sick mothers lost babies and kids Black illness spread madly in villages Then blind panic and pain hit the skids. Some fat cats made use of the vacuum They trawled the coastline clean Somalia’s fishermen were destitute The catch went from vast to lean. The villagers were starving and hopeless And what was pain became death. The leaders appealed for salvation But those with the means, had turned deaf. Who would take this problem on now? Who would make these ******** pay? Most turned around and shunned them, The world had turned and looked away. So hit transgressors where they’re vulnerable. Strike in sea lanes where it’s free. Hit them near the Horn of Africa. Attack with blades of piracy. Hooray for the small man’s justice. Hooray for his skinny, black shanks, Please God help their quest for deliverance For the West has arrived with their tanks. Now I ask you, in all fairness To stand back and view the scene, Where the richest and most powerful are doing something that's obscene For not only are they poisoning The most vulnerable race on earth But compounding it with genocide, And I add, for what it's worth, The West, in righteous arrogance, are crushing poorest fellow man In his struggle for survival Against their mammoth, global hand.

The old order changeth, yielding place to new -Tennyson, Idylls of the King Like dinosaurs our institutions gasp In spasms of existential death; they pass At first unnoticed by the casual unobserver Who trips over a covenant that isn’t there If you vote they give you a sticker The ephemeral Constitution changed Like sweaty skivvies by each president Law libraries catalogued for pulp By obedient functionaries in tees If you vote they give you a sticker The faithful escorted out of the cathedral By a bored security guard on overtime The altar linens for sale at Goodwill And the sanctuary repurposed on T.V. If you vote they give you a sticker Some of The Just Plain Folks cheer for the Reds And the others cheer only for the Blues As the reincarnation of Jack Chick Blesses their four-wheelers and plastic caps If you vote they give you a sticker Election placards on abandoned buildings Promise again prosperity for all The **** lab cooks behind The Kute Kidz Private Academy of the Dance and Math If you vote they give you a sticker An outreach of the Bright Light Free Will Missionary Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ Of the Lamb Sanctified 501C The Reverend Doctor Master Bishop Billy-Bob Hairdo PhD, DD a-brangin’ Messages and His Esteemed Lady Apostle Heather If you vote they give you a sticker And blessed be the Holy AR-15 God gave to His People to defend themselves Here in the freest country in the world Which you can find behind the barbed-wire fence If you vote they give you a sticker While fleets of luxury presidential jets Arc high over our public housing projects Reminding us of our prosperity Here in the richest country in the world If you vote they give you a sticker And them Jews for Jesus I guess they’re all right But them other Jews they just ain’t no good Nor them Cath’lics nor them Mormons neither And don’t you get me started on them Baptists (We seem to have been otherwise engaged) “The old order changeth, yielding place to new” – (But neither cares at all for me or you) But if you vote they give you a sticker

My heart Pounds faster and faster, My mind is convinced, That my body's disaster, But you told me it's not, That you think it is hot, And you would love, To have me in your bed. My body Shakes harder and harder, Your hands they wander, As they gently discover, Every inch of the surface, As if it has but one purpose, And that is to be yours, But only when wanted. My gasps Come quicker and quicker, And your tongue is slick, In its oh-so frenzied lick, As if my body was sweet, Sweet as the richest candy, ****** till sweet no more.

Used.
’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow, Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream: Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw: A whisker first, and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched, in vain, to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretched, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between: (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in. Eight times emerging from the flood She mewed to ev’ry wat’ry god Some speedy aid to send. No dolphin came, no nereid stirred; Nor cruel Tom, nor Susan heard. A fav’rite has no friend! From hence, ye beauties undeceived, Know, one false step is ne’er retrieved, And be with caution bold. Not all that tempts your wand’ring eyes And heedless hearts is lawful prize; Nor all that glisters, gold.

On The Death Of A Favourite Cat, Drowned In A Tub Of Gold Fishes
I have this idea of you. Tattooed and beautiful. Sarcastic and witty, with a silver tongue that tastes better than the richest chocolate.

You are Shakespeare in a world of fools, poetry in a world of broken words and broken feelings. in a world full of desperate cryings and spiteful noises, You are the jazz instrument that makes it quiet in my mind. You are love in the middle of this war i am fighting with myself. Your lips, pure art, You are the smile that brings colour in this black-and-white world. You a dance in a summer rain, You a rebel lost in a world of rules, a free bird, a mystery, You the richest wine, that makes my dark feelings numb. You, beautiful as Vincent's Starry Night, Your eyes are two blue moons i get lost in You, the one who has a shelter in my mind, You, the purest feet that have ever stepped on my heart. You, the voice that lifts me from the abyss whenever i fall. To be or not to be is no longer a question, to be with You is the only answer.
