John Sensele Poems

Irritation swept over me
Inconvenience stretched my patience
Immortality dared my pilgrimage on earth in wee
Hours and minutes as my life interrogated fate and its conscience.
...

Bear the cross among your siblings with stoicism
Bear the cross among your offspring without flinching
Bear the cross in your relationships without cynicism
If growth and maturity at your door should come knocking.
...

Cast out the fear yoke, blast off like a Nasa rocket from Cape Canaveral
Where achievements and accomplishments fly and cry out to go viral
Not just on the Internet but also in real time in Gambia and Zambia
For your outstanding performance, God's blessings grow near.
...

Mamma's love, care and concern for her offspring
Surpasses the ductility of any diamond ring
Because mamma's love overpowers obstacles and pains
Offspring, cynics, ingrates, detractors and rains
...

Arise hearts, arise minds, arise souls
Seize the time, please the climb where goals
Within easy reach await your decision and determination
To break free from too much prudence and to spring into action.
...

A way of life teeters towards a cesspool of insanity
When its tenets, helmets and bayonets unleash infirmity
To propagate, elongate, elucidate an ideology of murder
Plunder, blunder, under-think, group think and slander
...

In the morning, Jamie and Janice readied their gauntlets to probe
The range of opportunities and festivities to sanitise the robe
That for too long contrived to sneak a pesky wedge
Between Jamie and Janice and to block their love page.
...

Bless
Mamas who
Sacrifice
Bling, bucks, breast shape
...

Human complexion spans several hues
Which in essence summarise human views
On the sanctity an dignity of human life
Whether red, yellow, black or white without any hint of strife.
...

Celebrate friends, celebrate weekends, appreciate inner circles
Who prop up good ideas, drop bad plans and perform miracles
Enlisted in advance from providence in abundance
Everyday, everywhere, every time and in every instance.
...
