Buxton Shippy Poems

How long are you gonna wait to say it,
After I hit the town?
How long are you gonna wait to show it,
When all I have left, is a frown?
...

With a bellicose laughter,
The Man,
Muttered a primal viciousness
Draped,
...

He reclines on the cool of the day,
Head erect, glares on bamboo leaves.
What she said didn't matter now,
Carried by the streams.
...

Anansi, the clever trickster
Always takes center stage
Hard as he tried
Could not trick brother dog
...

Mister Poverty is a strong man,
Built with potent genes;
Been around since the dawn of creation,
Infecting each generation.
...

Black Dreadlocks
With his red
Green and gold
Twisting
...

Political warriors kill
Without a touch

With weapons of fear,
...

I am not in need
He is my provider
He admonishes me
For my benefit
...

For ten years
Evil stood on the hills
Of Afghanistan
Evil on foot
...

Emotions twisting
Mind racing towards the end
Uncontrolled life edging
Pray to the Deity
...
