What’s the trait you value most about yourself? As I toil around in thoughts and action, In a noisy world street that echoes too high, I suspect the sun is taking records of all, As the sun goes down with it’s report, I daily hide under the shadow of the dark cloud, To reflect andContinue reading “SELF EXAMINATION”

LAST RESPECT
Men cried out for help when alive, Begging for companionship just for few minutes, World rather is too busy meeting targets To romance it’s accomplishments with ego, Friends and acquaintances are too busy, Chasing shadows of unsatisfied ephemerals, A visit could have made the heart merry, But no one got the time, Not even aContinue reading “LAST RESPECT”
JOB WITH NO CASH ONSIGHT
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter. Does it appears foolish to everyone? I don’t think so! Though money choose to answers all things, Money and it benefits are not everything. Nobility transcends the corridors of cash, Payslips can be smiling with great digits, While the mind is devoid of fulfilment, It’sContinue reading “JOB WITH NO CASH ONSIGHT”
COLOUR OF THE HEART
Helplessly lying on the sick bed, Wealthy is he, but could not buy comfort, His heart was bad, he needed a transplant, Between life and death, no time for pride. He use to be a racist that despised others, A well known supremest that regards no other, A doctor of letters that reviled other racesContinue reading “COLOUR OF THE HEART”
CULTURAL HERITAGE
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? Not narrow narrative could typify this, Else, we tend to segregate by colouration of pride, Negro, mongoloid and Caucasoid, All in one common undeniable format, Human! any other addition is ephemeral. Relics of our domiciliary corners Might not reflect our trueContinue reading “CULTURAL HERITAGE”
BRAND
What brands do you associate with? Brand walks hand in hand with choice, On the street of abundance and surplus, The heart merry as it chooses what pleases the eye. But on the crescent of lack, Where scarcity rules as an emperor, Brand is locked up in the prison of the mind, Where desires canContinue reading “BRAND”
MORE
What could you do more of? Writing to brighten the darkened corners, Beaming this little light of mine, With wordings of hope, courage and love, I wish I can do more over and over again. Like a lily in the mire, I long to show, That in every imperfect situation, There is a glimpse ofContinue reading “MORE”
PRESUMPTUOUSNESS WORSEN MATTERS
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Too quick to judge he was, Dagger of words to pierce her heart, For an action judged presumably, Later to realize that he was wrong. The tales of Madam Margret and her boss was told, Throughout the night she was physically humiliated by her husband, Beaten,Continue reading “PRESUMPTUOUSNESS WORSEN MATTERS”
MY SOURCE OF ENERGY
What things give you energy? Reaffirming words crested on the pages of papers, From the golden minds across the global shores, Spreading love, courage and tenets of humanity, There lies the fountain of my energy. Inspiration resident in the post of men and women of like passion, Though scattered across boundaries of countries and continents,Continue reading “MY SOURCE OF ENERGY”
JIM REEVES: THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME
What’s your all-time favorite album? Ever green sounds of lyrics to my ears, A performance orchestrated by a spirit man, Just like the latest release of last night, The sound that draws me closer to the celestial. A countryside cowboy singer was he, With a touch of heavenly burden before home going, Just as ifContinue reading “JIM REEVES: THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME”
