Slow
Near stillness
Water, boat, floating I
Everything passing by
Zooming, zipping, overtaking
As if in a hurry to see everything
consume every bit, before it dies
Should I be worried, am I missing the boat
while being in one, world gloats,
worthless possessions, in my eyes,
heart sighs, keep looking for questions!
World’s riches, nations wealth
accumulated by fortunate few
Rest of us could lie and linger
Rest of us could die in hunger
Rest of us could sleep on the streets
Rest of us find food as a treat
Rest of us should wake up one day
Irony is, why it is not today!
Wishes, slow burning wax
Keep flickering, giving light,
flaming hopes, heaven send
Till the very very end
A boat awaits
for a journey to
high seas
Inside great ocean,
waterborne
Yards in, miles out
immense darkness
humbles tiny soul within
Forcefully
chaos ready to break-in
after eras of utter calmness
Be strong
sing the most valiant song
not before long
you will find, your redemption
to your satisfaction
Ignore the rest,
that pain, such hurt,
that kiss and his flirt
Listen to me
treat the past, like filthy dirt
washed up old shirt
Your future is bright
it will have joy and delight
be strong, carry on
kick the tyres,
rekindle fires
within you
to get you through
See to it
Be to it
just don’t ever
never never
Quit
Pride worth everything
Beauty couldn’t be matched
Strength here to stay
Isn’t it enough? No, they say
insisting, brethren I fight
for their utter delight
to my absolute disgust
their vanity persists
they fight their own in cages
to whom’s entertainment I wonder
humanity surrenders
to its perverse lust for amusement
Decision to turn
Walk or run
Die or live
Take or give
Is, was, will be
Yours, don’t hesitate!
New day, new dawn
and I am lost
in a place known
location determined
situation strange
mind deranged
fate arraigned
a joker’s jest
body protests
hearts arrests
nothing but pain
memory lane
why have I come back?
Green leaves, creamy flowers
showing their perfect petals
Plucked before innocence
Denoting true wholesome love
humanity served, well deserved?
such sacrifice, tear showers
Dance of death
Fire ragging each pore
fly without wings
Drop and sink
End of this fair
Swinging in the air
Last twist, tango kick
Blood throwing sick
Lesions snakes lick
Thousand daggers
Hit and flick
Head on a stick
Heart on a brick
I still dance
for the beloved
