Busy

Let’s talk
busy buddy
Do you have time?
For your friends
who pretend
being not affected
by your absence
Large stacks
of duties, chores
Digging holes
clearing stores
till limbs sore
Some point
Around the midnight
Reach home
Die at the door
No drive
How do you survive
This mundane
arcane
routine
I am not a fan
Complete disdain
for this run,
Candle of life
quickly burns
Wake up,
Take up,
What’s dear to you
Shake up
Priorities
Make up
Not on the face!
You look good!
We digress
So make up
With your
long lost friends
Who are around
Just waiting
hating
Your absence!

Chameleon

Sky, are you blue, is that true?
Depends, says my good old friend
If you are angry and I agree
I could be red with many dead
Don’t be so mad, making me sad
what happens next
I could be pink, in shame I sink
errors of judgement, I blush and blink
Violet the new colour, becomes this blue
Confused without clue
When you are not around
Nowhere to be found
Unable to hear your sound
I get grey, my clouds in tears
Sapiens destroy sister earth
Scared for her, million fears
I am white, the bright knight
cleaning smog, jealousy, spite
I am dark and black, come soon
Light me up, make me laugh
my funny cousin moon
When the king sun arrives
as court jester in space
I spray colours filling my face
to keep him amused, I hope he stays
That’s the story I could tell today
plenty more still, come another day

 

Long walk

Start with a small step
Next one comes
Stride to stride
Arm to arm
Sing a song
Soul’s pride
Brother to brother
Amis to Amis
Side by side
Million steps
Bring on more
Unwavering tide
Coming for you
Everywhere to run
Nowhere to hide

Survival

Empty hands
Empty stomachs
How will we survive today
You are around
Luck abound
Let’s pass another day
Life’s perils
Will not matter
Together we need to stay
