POEM: DARLING



Hello there, Darling. How have you been?
It’s been too long since I’ve seen you, my friend.
I counted the hours & dreamed of when
The Universe would bring us together again.
There’s so much to tell you, it could take days.
But I’ve found love in so many ways.
Beautiful people & stories & moments in mind,
But in the end, I’ve come to find
All my thoughts lead back to you,
& I must confess, love, you’re my muse
& for all the things I’ve been refused,
I never dreamed of losing you.
I regret not having let you in,
but in terms of emotion, I didn’t know where to begin
& despite it all, you’re still my best friend
& you’ll stay that way, beyond the end.
& whether we talk again or not,
My heart is bound to you in lover’s knot
& I’m not going anywhere,
unless you ask to meet me there.
& a few more things I must confess,
without the tuxedo & wedding dress,
for I never cared to see your ‘Sunday best,’
I will carry my love for you through flames of death.
You have my heart & you were my song;
You were the angel all along.
Thank you, love, for all you did for me,
I’m sorry I got selfish & couldn’t see.
I miss the days when we’d laugh & play,
& a love so strong, nothing stood in our way.
I miss the jokes we used to make,
& the love in your arms always keeping me safe.
I miss the dreams we used to share,
& your cute frustration when unprepared,
but what I miss most is you singing with me,
for your energy alone was my ecstasy.
With all my heart & all my mind,
I wish you love & joy to find,
& in my heart you’ll always be,
for my broken heart no longer belongs to me.

POEM: DOWN AND OUT

Down and Out Who cares to notice the penniless? Who cares how they became ripen? Griping you to their desperate chest, So jamed and bashed crossing to beg, Limps and crawls from spot to spot. . My chest flames to such doleful pleas, Clutching hooves strolling thier way, Smokes my heart to hear them cry out, ‘‘Oh how will I succeed, Oh how do I live?” “I crave you with every breath I got in me” Old and weary, young and lanky, Resting beneath bridges for warmth,  Feasting on scrap wearing tatters, Without buddies, no family, nor us, No one seem to see or care little. Having nothing that matters to the rich, Pleased with what they receive with hope,  From break to night, twenty four seven, Lay noisy tummys by slumpy gutters, If they disappeared who cares where to? Miserable basking on side walks, Faces pale like out of oxygen for days, Targets of hunger, cold and epidemic, A smile can warm a paupers lifetime, Let them in, they knock, share your little.

POEM: COULD I BUT SHOW YOU

COULD I BUT SHOW YOU                 Could I but show you how a word can grow into a thorn that lodges deep within? The softest places of the hardest men, you wouldn't be so quick to let one go. In silences, defenceless and alone, security and self-esteem descend; ambitions cease and aspirations bend in the victims of a fatal verbal blow.                     If I could show you how a word can rise - bring laughter, bring excitement, bring rapport, bring nations out of poverty and war - perhaps your speech would seek a different guise. What problems of this world could be deterred if we revered the value of a word?            By Corey Harvard

The Much We Know It is such a wonderful phenomenon that as human we exist in our own worlds, with different beliefs, reasons and characters, yet in all these differences , decisions made does not only affect the maker of this decision but also the society at large. Generally, man works to be successful and well respected, either working to positively or negatively affect the society. Even that individual who does nothing at all will be successful in nothing, these things pays off on the society either consciously or unconsciously. For instance the killing of a single man in an area in a community affect everyone in that area and the whole community negatively in terms of creating of fear in the hearts of the individuals in that community and when there is provision of an essential amenity in a community which is generally positive, such community will be effected positively too, people will be happy and hopeful for more positive outcomes. The consciousness of man helps make deci...
