SOMETIMES

Sometimes!

Sometimes I feel

world is sinking

under my feet,

sometimes I feel

sun beats more than

usual and moon isn’t

bright enough.

 

Sometimes I feel the

stars aren’t twinkling

enough,

ocean waves very

unkind to coastal cities,

sometimes I feel

life isn’t fair to humans.

Sometimes I feel man

is used and dumped

by rich and powerful,

sometimes I feel

how friends and blood

betray one another,

sometimes I feel

how colleagues take

advantage of fellow for

immediate benefit.

Sometimes I feel human

society is nothing,

but evil,

sometimes I feel

commerce thrives

only on greed,

religion on bigotry,

government on lies and

deception.

Sometimes I feel

humans on pathway of

self-destruction,

sometimes I see no future,

as civilization continues to

downhill,

sometimes I feel

science and

technology will help,

but side effect more than

benefit.

Sometimes I feel

humankind

oldest institution-family-

is dead,

sometimes I feel

tomorrow is a mirage.

Sometimes,

not every time,

not always,

but seldom,

I ask-what does tomorrow

hold for humanity?

 

Africa-Years of Pain

Africa-Years of Pain-

Africa-I won’t lose-

faith in you,

because your future

is great,

Africa-I won’t write you

off,

because your tomorrow

is certain.

Africa-I won’t forget-

your dreams,

because some day-

it will come to past;

Africa-I won’t forget-

Yesterday’s cries,

water that nurtures

today’s greenery.

Africa-I won’t forget-

your children’s journey

across Atlantic,

to build nations,

Africa-I remember-

those sun beats in

plantations from

Brazil to North America.

Africa-I remember-

those abuses,

which no human

law can rectify,

I remember family

disruption and tear-apart,

I remember all open and

indoor wailings.

I remember those

cheap and unpaid

labors

from sunset to

sunrise.

Oh! I can recall

those fears-you

live with-

for centuries;

I remember the

trauma-

emotional pains-

no therapy can fix.

I remember days

Days of famine and

thirst;

I remember-mothers’

cries- seeing her son

lynched for trivialities.

Never will I forget

unnecessary dirges

sung in churches as

memorials.

Africa-shall I forget-

sub human life-

you lived?

A record mind will

ALWAYS REMEMBER.

WOMAN

WOMAN-A Unique Creation:

She charm me with irresistible beauty,

shower me with un-conditional love,

very inviting her white-tooth-smiles;

very attractive her rolling eyes-

soothing like balm her velvet tone

before me,

so compassionate her big heart to

those around her.

Touch-of-love her fingers radiate,

her presence always change

dirge to dulcet causing

symphony of  joy;

her thoughts, very Solomonic,

her lips sweeter than honey,

her words stronger than iron.

Salt of preservation,

she has become,

Frankincense-a living odor

she emits;

worth more than gold,

value more than silver,

precious more than copper.

 

A gemstone of no equal

among bevy and throng,

a sapphire of nightly

deep-blue sky;

a ruby of strong magnetic pull,

ever-green emerald,

the unbreakable diamond that

makes amethyst her home.

Should I call her pomegranate-

the multi-purpose fruit-of-life?

Do I call her Apple-

because of the two

apple-shaped-breasts?

Beauty that defines her

existence and the everlasting

source-of-milk-of-life-

humankind-all-time-food-

pantry-of-life.

Do I call her Berry-

the fruit-of-life that

reflects her biological role?

Whatever name I choose-

to call-her,

whatever designation-

she carries-

whatever sobriquet-

even-pseudonym,

I may choose to call her-

she deserves more than

these names.

Because of her three-

pronged roles,

which no one performs

except her alone:

she preserves life,

she gives life, and

she nurtures life;

with this trivet, she has made a-

permanent name-that supersedes-

MAN-MADE-NAMES.

FOREVER-she remains:

With-Out-Me (your)

Adventure-(is) Naught-

WOMAN.

Incomparable Artwork

Incomparable Artwork:

Image:

no camera

can reproduce,

a master piece,

no artist can replicate,

a design-

no engineer can remake,

beauty and gorgeousness 

no

makeup artist can

recreate.

Beauty:

Gold, silver, and copper,

even pink-star-diamond,

in its glory-

pales into insignificance

before her;

from sunrise to sunset

beauties without equal

you behold,

from big to small bodies,

from light skinned to dark,

brown, and white dot

landscape.

Personality:

Her eyes flashlight of

love,

smile-enchanted

stimulant-that captivates

mind,

her mind-calming opium-

for trouble soul,

heart-engine room of love-

hands-bolt-and-nut

that fasten companionship.

Qualities:

Voice-bearer of

life message,

lips-home of love code-

hair-crown of glory-

tummy-palace life begins-

and love-mat for lovers.

Possessions:

Her breasts

food pantry of

unending love,

and container holding

liquor of love;

bulb of love,

touch it,

love-light lights room,

ecstasy rules over mind.

Ability:

Romance with her

has no equivalent

lexicon to describe;

a night on her bosom

remains in mind

eternal camera of all times.

Work of Nature:

Her biological door-

receives material-

content for life,

but returns with

complete life;

a single door with

multiple roles-

unequal sanctuary

of life.

Companionship:

A week with her

fills a decade page

storybook,

power in her more than

any hydro or thermal

turbines can produce.

A month of chest-to-chest

connection,

creates indelible memory,

eternal partnership with her

means life journey.

Her Makeup:

Artwork of superior force,

she beats painting,

defeats drawing,

conquers sculpture,

behind her is ceramics,

way back is photography,

architecture and conceptual

arts are mere amateurs.

Artwork of all times,

artwork of all seasons,

artwork of all weather,

artwork of all climate,

artwork found in every

culture,

artwork all religions fear,

but control for centuries.

Artwork! Artwork! Artwork!

will continue to entice man,

will continue to intrigue man.

ONE DAY

ONE DAY.

As your heart beats,
it will stop one day,
As your eyes see,
it will close one day,
As your ears hear,
it will go deaf one day,
As your legs walk,
it will remain immobilize
one day,
As your hands clap,
it will go numb one day,
As your mouth sings,
it will be locked one day,
As your nose perceive
good and bad odors,
it will lack this power
SOMEDAY.

Then you will
remember,
Life is Vanity,
yesterday's power
becomes irrelevant TODAY,
DOPORO,
Dollar-Pound-Euro,
once worshipped
becomes valueless,
yesterday's influence
within and outside power,
the power-mountain
takes you to the
final Home.

And those you hurt,
creates a chronicle for
you,
those you help remember
you for your good heart;
yesterday's mustard seed-
good or bad turns sequoia.

Remember nothing
last forever;
power is TRANSIENT,
wealth VANISHES,
influence WANES,
but a good name
gives favor-what money
can't buy,
and protect your progeny
when YOU are GONE.

Love Is:

Love Is:

A sunray

that shines upon

beloved,

water that nourishes

love-thirty soul,

milk of life and happiness,

milk of joy and endearment,

milk with different taste,

felt upon entire body.

Love is

unseen medicine that

heal soul,

patron of all therapies,

retooling body wellness,

generative power for soul,

magnet that finds and

compass that leads to

soul mate’s abode.

Love the

bulb that gives light in

darkness,

fluorescent that makes

pathway accessible,

halogen that turns night

into daylight,

floodlight that makes

enclosure visible.

Love the

fresh red wine that

intoxicates,

colorless roses

present everywhere,

source of pitter-patter of

heart,

which activates pleasure center

of the brain.

Love the 

powerful ocean tide,

no one can hold,

tsunami without barrier,

religion not a roadblock,

nationality not a restriction,

culture-not a wall,

love-pacemaker of life.

Love travels

all ways-

on straight line,

on rough or unpaved

road,

on bridge to meet lovers,

through cord between lovers,

on concrete that creates bond.

Still:

love kills,

but also heals

love creates war,

just as it ends war;

love-sea wave of peace-

precipitation of blessing,

cloud of happiness,

and comforting breeze of

gladness.

Love-who knows you?

No one,

you create lust,

balance with

attraction and

attachment.

Until you visits;

no one

understands

you,

until you go on

a journey,

then man appreciates

YOU.

 Regardless:

Love-I cherish you,

I want to be your friend,

I say-make my

HOME-

your resting PLACE.

 

Clean Hands

Clean Hands:

Shed No Blood-

Incites no one to

violence,

do not go into

venture with evil,

shed no blood for

power,

rob no one of his

life,

steal neither

encourage it.

Beat no one with sword,

empower no one with

weapons of destruction;

room of darkness,

never enter,

club of evildoers,

never associate.

Men of lawlessness

and darkness,

never befriend,

coven of darkness

don’t enter.

Let light be your

guide,

sign no contract with

darkness,

for power and glory,

enter into no concordance

with evil for prominence.

Treasure blood because

it’s life,

let blood flow in veins

not on ground.

 

When In Power:

Remember power

is TRANSIENT;

let power be vehicle

to transport goodness,

not consignor of pain,

put smile on faces,

make heart rejoice,

make no one cry

when holding POWER.

Workers-pay their

due wages without

delay-

servants-review not-

agreement still in force,

tenant farmers treat

well,

retirees-let their souls-

find peace and joy-

after retirement.

Widows make happy,

orphans-be their father-

let souls find joy under

your leadership,

let power be GAIN

not PAIN.

let their soul BLESS YOUR.

DON’T DO BECAUSE

OF POWER-

Seal no deal with

darkness

for today’s power,

because tomorrow

is not secure,

conclude no deal with

darkness for greatness,

in thousand folds-

you’ll pay back;

take no oath because

of wealth,

such wealth never last.

Enter into no terms and

agreements with

power patrons,

open check-they’ll

request and

unrestrained access

to till money-

they’ll demand.

Let power come to

you voluntarily,

let light shines upon

you willingly,

let glory trace you

to your courtyard,

let POWER be a

TOOL for SERVICE,

not a GIZMO for

OPPRESSION

Let POWER BE:

P=PROTECT

E= EARTH (HUMANS)

A=AGAINST

C=CORRUPTION

E=EVIL.

MAKE HER:

TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN' S DAY

Make Her:

If

you make her smile,

you receive in hundred

and laughter becomes

your companion.

If you make her joyful,

happiness surrounds you,

home-of-benediction.

If you give her love,

wailing garden,

make her weep,

home turns to rainfall

she shows compassion,

radiates love,

walk with you on kindness

pathway,

gives you peace of mind.

Then

She becomes a blessing,

a garden of roses,

a galaxy,

a sea wave of peace,

a sun-bath in summer,

a rain-of-blessing, and

a drum of beautiful symphony.
