Rely On Me
Imagine you are a wagon of hope
Everybody loves you because you bring hope
Everybody wishes you the best because they will gain
Everyone needs you because they are in need
You Indeed you are their hope
You alone bring hope
You alone you carry hope
Hope so well needed
You hope never to fail everyone
You hope never to spill anyone’s hope
You have everybody’s hope
Its too heavy, the wagon cant take it anymore
The wheel is damaged, the bearing is brokenThe hope is going to spill...

STREETS, STREETS...
STREETS, STREETS…
Them perplexing
Amazing, them split
With undulation, straight
Subtlety I surmise never
I imagine them being a tureen
Surly, yet full of solace
Damp with superfluity of morals yet unethical
The oracle of skinflint, love, joy, sobriety, thrall…
The streets are a Victrola always wheeling
Its LP ever skipping
Different skip each time
A skip for each street wanderer
Wait for your turn to dance!
Trod!
Them streets are vile
Vindicative to no Virtuoso
Swarthy yet no suave
I like unkempt and never punctilious streets
Cold in the night, damp in the summer
A welcomer of tempest but never tremulous
Oh I wallow my streets!

HOPE
HOPE
Sometimes I falter to move
Only to fail after
I flip, and I flop
I hope to stand but no rope
Am desperate,
I have to move
But no loose rope to hold
Am losing hope
Where do I hold?
My fold is covered
And am not favored

SUDAN
SUDAN
The Humidity Stiff, never minding the burning heat of the Sun
Women and young children walk it
Its hot, so is the ground
It’s the bush, the ground has thorns
Bare-footed they trod
There’s no food or safe water,
They must walk on
The night is cold, the sky is clear
They dare not halt
Their enemy is coming
Snakes, Lions feared less
Painful is he who’s pursuing them
Walking and running they are the enemy is in their search
They better reach the border
Rains come and, they are socked
Disease and pain is inevitable
They don’t have to rest,
They better get away
Away from Soldiers who want them
They’re scared of being Raped and killed if they resist

HOW DOES HE LOOK LIKE?
HOW DOES HE LOOK LIKE?
Man said to be his image
One color better than the other
Which one is his?
Salaries in White and Khaki packages
Why the difference?
All born through pain
Human is it?
Which one is he?

A DEATH ENCOUNTER
A DEATH ENCOUNTER
I abhor death,
Who can help repress its ugly hand!
When its fingers beckon you to follow
There’s no resiliency
Is death a retribution for mankind?
I really wonder
Ill am here
Which sanitarium didn’t I visit?
Which Medicine I try never?
My illness interminable
Don’t point your dirty fingers at me!
I spit with disgust at too death!
You coward!
Who will feed my family?
Which lucky fellow will share a bed with my wife?
Can I come with her?
You jealousy death!
No! Spare her
Let her live
Who will educate my kids?
Who will desiccate their tears?
Will they be robbed of my riches?
Clever you!
Like hell you defrauded my soul
I smoked, drunk and slept with every girl my heart wished
I thought I would live forever
You selfish beast!
How I wish I could disdain your stubborn hand

MY VICTORIA FALLS
Victoria!
how idyll you are to your spectators
Surely the Mighty Mother of all Falls you are
The smoke that thunder your thighs are a wonder
Your height makes me linger in discomfiture
When am by your feet, I can bare see your nipples,
As Rainbows that cross your belly button elate me
The Great Zambezi River is your handsome partner,
Him a dream for all women
How does it feel when his massive tentacles pour the waters in you?
I watch in awe as he comes to you each day and night,
Season to Season, all great rounds
I fear more in summer,
Then, he’s high with the supplies of the Kalene Hills
Mean time it is!
So worth to gaze
Millions come to witness your great passion
The Mighty Victoria Falls!
All about you I admire
I reach your bottom and resist no sweat
I like your broad cataracts and their protruding breasts,
I wish I were great enough to give them a touch
More and more I watch you
Your white eyes so amazing O goddess of love!
Your beauty leaves me in tremors
