Governance

Pillaging state to state
four foundations great
Yellow in its colour
dirt tinted prism
Everything is a scandal
for sale journalism
we the real gods
forsaken stature
steal and plunder
corrupt legislature
Killings are ignored
partisan grudges
Justice not served
Ignorant judges
Biggest liars
Lotteries, bingos
Inept, incompetent
Admin gringos

Cheers

Why do you drink
What do you think?
Him ‘for posterity’
Her ‘for insecurity’
Them ‘for affection’
Us ‘for satisfaction’,
wine seller proclaimed
taste is exquisite
wine cellar blamed
time no requisite
Mourning, Celebratory
Ballroom, Cemetery
dance we drink
In chance we drink
romance we drink
In trance we drink
Drink all the time
Breakfast, noon
Evening, night
Dusk or dawn
Sun or moon
Drink when late
Drink while soon
Drink when sane
Drink being loon
Seeing games
Watching cartoons
Drink, drink, drink
Never ever think
World could end
Let Titanic sink
Let’s die soon
Shall we….?

Song of the fallen

Day passes in daze

Night just prolongs
Every moment torments
Soul for so long
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?

Darkness responds in cold
A chill passes your bones
Reminds you of your heart
It is not made of stones
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?

Clock ticks unbearable
Sadness awakens soul
More twisting and turning
You roll and roll
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?

Mid night has struck
More pain to come
Some relish these moments
Unbearable for some
A scream comes out
You curse and you shout
Why fell in love?
