CAME the great Popinjay Smelling his nosegay: In cages like grots The birds sang gavottes. 'Herodiade's flea Was named sweet Amanda, She danced like a lady From here to Uganda. Oh, what a dance was there! Long-haired, the candle Salome-like tossed her hair To a dance tune by Handel.' . . . Dance they still? Then came Courtier Death, Blew out the candle flame With civet breath.

Came the Great Popinjay
We mourn atop skyscrapers As our forefathers Mourned amongst baobab trees in Uganda Because we have been forsaken, It is judgment day, And we’re fearful.

As kids we played soldiers sticks were our guns our words were our bullets we had hours of fun But for kids in Uganda it isn't the same not since Joseph Kony took over the game He forced them to fight and he forced them to **** while we stood by and did nothing lacking knowledge and will But let this be the year that it comes to an end that there's visible justice for invisible children Because Joseph Kony we're coming for you stopping at nothing and there's **** all you can do http://vimeo.com/invisible/kony2012

KONY 2012 - Tell the world
In days dead and burried in time, In a very far away enchanted clime, In the mighty kingdom of Nineva Where there fairly shone forever, There once was a strange lonely wood That ever in fairest robes of green stood By the edge of a fair shoreline of pearl, Whose mystery none may tell nor unfurl. For akin to the most effulgent yonder star That forevermore scintillates from afar In a splendiferous novelty golden cluster, So thrice scintillated the gem's luster. And 'tis for this that as we all truly know, All mortals, I say, all mortals  of long ago Gravitated from corners of distant lands On the quest for riches by those strands. Once, sweltering was the noontide When upon a violent lonely rolling tide A bunch of desperate pirates were seen Nearing that wood of emerald sheen. In a while, they'd gathered all they could, Leaving not a single gem in the wood. Alas! A wind murmured upon the skies In faint whispers: "Woods have eyes" So muttered all birds - all birds of the air, All creatures in caverns desolate yet fair, All leaves upon strange shadowy trees, And all - all creatures of wild lonely seas. But, despite the looming dark omen, Swifter than plummeting drops of rain, So hastily dashed every single pirate Blindingly minding not about their fate. They raised their silvery sails to take sail But hark! All this - all this was to no avail; For upon the skies no wind was seen To render them across so wide a sea. In a jiffy, louder than birds of the skies All gems whispered, "Woods have eyes." From that moment on, all lost their sight, Doomed never to behold the sun's light. And now, upon those murky restless seas They dost weep but no plea can please, For they were doomed to rove evermore In search of their long forgotten shore. ©Kikodinho Edward Alexandros, Kampala, Uganda. 29th.July.2018.

A sadistic outlook I hide my fallacies and avarice in a sock drawer, neatly placed next to my pill bottles In the closet closest, I store the prospect of future casualties Shuffled neatly undernearth media propaganda and the war in Uganda I suffocate the tragedy of unknown victims in my display of malice Muffled as they’re whimpering Sociopathic symphony

Sanguine Shapeshifter
Some times tremors of foolish wise thoughts, pass man's mind like waves of earth quakes across the muscles of unsuspecting earth, to day one of the type has visited my brain, i ask myself why John F Kennedy committed suicide, with all the resources and riches in America of Kennedy's time, The FBI, CIA, NATO and the shrewd Mozart, the security masters of the world's vogue all guarding the Kennedy the president, how came that the public imbecile had claim on his life, money overflowing like the waters of River Congo, into insatiable Atlantic basin is the simplest measure of American riches that Kennedy headed at his time of demise, full backed with intellect matchless muscle from study of history, eloquent like the weaver birds of Uganda in the city of Mbale, sending all packing in the likes of Nehru, Nyerere and Nkrumah, perhaps subdueable in single phase to the mighty of Castro, how comes that a madman killed Kennedy in the fullness of the day, was it the invisible hand of the Ku klux **** Synagogue of Satan or Freemason, the death of Kennedy is none other than beautiful suicide or the active curse of fate, misfortune and violent death. Why Nkrumah died out of power was political suicide, his knowledge of the world set African pace, towering mentally above all else in the chronicles of consciesism, he stood like a tor on the African mountains against Senghor Why Colonel Afrifa putsched Nkrumah is none else other that suicidal politics played at helm of power. why Tom Mboya died is suicide of suicides to believe that reason can overwhelm ethnic sentiments in a tribal consciousness of country like Kenya in time of Kenyatta, to foolishly conceive that Kikuyu can assassinate a Kikuyu was Luo foolishness of that particular century, it is Mboya who bought the gun that shot him dead, it is Mboya who bankrolled his own assassin he brought to the world political suicide of the century.

Melting madness and shimmering isles The bubble-gum boils in drug pedophiles Let's teach the East to love Western style We come in with strap-on's and pillage with smiles The rest of the world watches their watches People keep saying we're at hour eleven We're changing the design on our gold lockets From a heart to a blackjack, Seven Seven Seven! The college boys assure you that they know the lyrics And the meanings behind them for they've been enlightened They swarm out like locusts and pretentiously parrot Verbatim the textbooks they read when they're frightened That they'll die with nothing to show for their efforts They want everyone else in the world to remember That they did exist on some scale of importance Even though we're just spun yarn of grass, dirt and oceans Intelligence streams the consciousness seeds and conscientious objectors it seems So pardon me for the fallacy of pardoning tyrannical dictator queens It seems these days to be discovered you need to cheat on your spouse or your lover You'd think that with all the war crimes we've seen we would have hung at least one or the other We've got two parties, so pick one or scram! (Look at them squirm as fast as they can!) They're starting to think for themselves again! Quick, strangle the market and feed this man Acid and bath salts and give him some tear gas and send him on in to disarm the smear traps And **** everyone so we'll jump to conclusion with no where to turn, the final solution! I'm drunk again and we're falling in, the shoreline is riddled with explosions We don't speak of the war, we have no comment, we're almost out of original content We're frantically searching for a brand new contest to prove that our nation is still the best Whether you're China, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, the U.K., or India, the U.S. or Japan Let's take all the gangbanging **** out of Oakland and drop them in to the Atlantic Ocean Or better yet, set them loose in Uganda, let's see how long they last in Rwanda. I'm done with religion and socialized medicine, this aristocracy of pull and deception So for once in our lifetimes, let's seek a vision, because God knows people can't make ******* decisions.

Oh benevolent One, One who loves us as all over the World People Suffer. *Today in Uganda women who show any signs of being gay are repeatedly ***** by soldiers* Is that Love? Lord you omnipotent force... A force which sits by as wars destroy People and Places Up to this day 162,400 innocent people have died in the Syrian Uprising Is that what you do with Power? Mighty omnipresent God, A God which sips on wine in heaven, While children die due to lack of water... 4000 children die every day, because they simply don’t have access to an adequate supply of clean water How can you just Watch? So All Mighty One, You are no God in my eyes. If there is a heaven, I'd rather rot in hell, Than look that God in the eye...

God...What God?
Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow because even today I still arrive. Look deeply: I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch, to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile, learning to sing in my new nest, to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower, to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone. I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, in order to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that are alive. I am the mayfly metamorphosing on the surface of the river, and I am the bird which, when spring comes, arrives in time to eat the mayfly. I am the frog swimming happily in the clear pond, and I am also the grass-snake who, approaching in silence, feeds itself on the frog. I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones, my legs as thin as bamboo sticks, and I am the arms merchant, selling deadly weapons to Uganda. I am the twelve-year-old girl, refugee on a small boat, who throws herself into the ocean after being ***** by a sea pirate, and I am the pirate, my heart not yet capable of seeing and loving. I am a member of the politburo, with plenty of power in my hands, and I am the man who has to pay his "debt of blood" to, my people, dying slowly in a forced labor camp. My joy is like spring, so warm it makes flowers bloom in all walks of life. My pain is like a river of tears, so full it fills the four oceans. Please call me by my true names, so I can hear all my cries and laughs at once, so I can see that my joy and pain are one. Please call me by my true names, so I can wake up, and so the door of my heart can be left open, the door of compassion. Thich Nhat Hanh

I will miss Uganda The people that made us feel most welcome That helped us learn as part of the team I will miss the sunshine Even the downpours and storms that stunned us And the dryness of earth that dusted our skin I will miss the hilltop views That look upon the cityscape of hectic humanity And roads filled with the danger of boda-bodas and matatus I will miss the expectation of casual tardiness Of moving like there’s no rush No better place to be so why hurry I will miss the adventure of discovering new places Of eating new things with new people And sharing stories of varied past I will miss Uganda and it says it misses me But as long as I remember I wont need to miss the memories

Missing Uganda
Do you see what I see? Do you see the children in the streets? Living on the streets With no father or mother? Do you see what I see? Do you see the poverty and hunger and illness Rampant And the people, not Westerners, but the fellow countrymen And women In India and Congo and Uganda and Afghanistan That work to put an end To the injustice Do you see the what I see? The world With glimpses of its entirety Beyond the shallow bubble of existence In a land of milk and honey and comfort That hides its own injustices In a closet where nobody wants to look And everyone knows of But almost everyone ignores And in amongst that hypocrisy Do you see the people Speaking out And fighting for you to see What they see Do you see the people Reaching out to those in need In their families and their communities Out of compassion People who understand Really understand What it is to love Because they choose love In the face of apathy Ignorance Materialism and Individualism That is what I see When I look outside my window Is this what you see?

Do you see what I see?
They show me vast expanse of virginal lands. They tell me words like breathtaking and lush. They gaze at dusty trees and sprawling sands. They point and gasp and they hum and they hush. They show me all of Uganda at once, Holding the globe in their palm and their whim; They capture it with their drones, blazing guns, Riding jeeps that cut jungles to a trim. Their mirrors shine brighter than all the suns They show me with praise and awe to the brim. They rant about how clean, and how unbound, How pure, as they yell and laugh and drop their Trash, but not their attitudes, to the ground. They cut through grass and leave cracks in their wake. They screen their footage and their findings on Flat-screens and talk of wonder and splendour, Five-stars in forests and lights blinding on, Massacring on hot days in December.

jewels from uganda
"I always wanted to wander." "To wander? To where?" "From Walla Walla to Uganda." "That's a wide world to wander!" "You wanna?" "Wanna what?" "To wander?" "To where, Uganda?" "Youbetcha!" "I don't want to onomatopoeia anymore!" "Are you refusing me?" "You're confusing me!" "Do I do that usually?" "Yes, and it's abusing me! "I didn't used to be." "But you see it's no use to me, So start talking lucidly! You're coming across abstrusely By talking so loosely. You've got a lot of 'splaining to do Lucy." "It started out grand!" "But quickly got out of hand." "But you fail to understand." "You should have planned." "Is that a reprimand?" "You're like the ampersand." "I don't understand." "It means 'and per se and'; The pronunciation became bland And three Latin words became 'ampersand'." "But, don't you need a vacation?" "What is the relation?" "It's a matter of pronunciation, And sometimes punctuation. Some words deserve elimination. Yes, and some deserve illumination. Thus my original illustration. In the interest of communication, Some things deserve enunciation." "I will accept that explanation." "But, I'm still hugely fond of The two of us going to Uganda; As we internationally wander I'm sure it will make you fonder The more the two of us wander." "But I really don't wanna!" "Don't wanna what?" "Go to Uganda!" "That's what you don't wanna?" "You betcha!" "It's okay. They probably won't letcha."

The Sixteen Sacred Palm-Nuts of Yoruba all enclosed in my fists, ready to spread holiness in Uganda and Baja California. I slept last night at the beach after a long hike down the Sierra Madres. (The Blackhawks were facing the kings of the western region tribe of Tongva, and if I were to be a spectator the privileged white male would win: so I didn't want to sin). No more. I went to Rent-A-Whore, that sunny afternoon. To my surprise it was stationed at the shore. Those were my goon days when I followed the guru      Long hair, beaded necklaces, and silk indigenous shirts from Nayarit. Just to **** Hunab Ku For you.

AND NOW SOMETHING GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE
Under the unforgiving summer sun, their small, winged bodies hover from one flowering plant to another, working tirelessly in the sweltering heat as we laze in the shade... Their work is endless, the product harvested in minutes. Smoked into a stupor while we steal their treasures, and if some of them die, so be it... Melissa, Queen of Bees, revered before by human royalty and great innovators, Melissa, Queen of Bees, who connects life and death, whose children killed the demon Arunasura in India, and were prophets to the gods in Greece and Rome. Melissa, Queen of Bees, her bees fell from the sun in Egypt, aided the first living man in Uganda, and created man from the back of a mantis in the Kalahari Desert. Melissa, Queen of Bees, her children are the origin of magic in Eastern Europe, a source of fertility and a connection to nature in North America, and fierce, terrifying warriors in the South. Melissa, Queen of Bees, the Great Mother, the root of being, the bridge to the afterlife, we owe her children our lives, the least we can do is spare them their's.
