Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Beholding your appearance, Oh Nijaam
I offer myself in sacrifice.
Amongst all the girls, my scarf is the most soiled,
Look, the girls are laughing at me.
This spring, please dye my scarf for me,
Oh Nijaam, protect my honour.
In the name of Ganj-e Shakar (Nizamuddin Aulia's pir) ,
Protect my honour, Oh beloved Nijaam.
Qutab and Farid have come in the wedding procession,
And Khusrau is the loving bride, Oh Nijaam.
Some have to fight with the mother-in-law,
While some with sisters-in-law,
But I have you for support, Oh Nijaam

Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota,
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass.
And the eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness.
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me.
We step over the barbed wire into the pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone.
They ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happiness
That we have come.
...
Her gift is a gift
Of a different kind
A kind surprise:
Small ball of candle.
Cared by hand
Coloured by heart
Covered in a jaunt of cherry-blossom
Dragonflies and butterflies sprinkled
With a slanting contagion of pink

De waarheid is een monster geworden dat leugens mercantiel gevoed opvreet en uitkakt op het volk!
Mensen als Trump en de Tech big few en Big org ze beïnvloeden de laffe Europese discours op rechts, PVV en VVD met name zijn de lachebekjes die erop meeliften en het poolvuurtje gaarne aanwakkeren! Er is door die opportune mercantiele golf een nieuw soort uitsluiting aan het ontstaan die de tweedeling verstevigd en goedpraat uit jawel EIGENBELANG! Het woordje dat ik zoek is erger dan racisme en we geven het een kak-naam artificieel racisme! Het laffe Nato met ultra opportune wapendealer voor Trump als CEO, zo ziet institutioneel gekweekt racisme er uit. Je maakt mensen bang met oude koeien uit de sloot en slaat tevens het Vrije Woord Monddood! Artificieel racisme moet zeer zwaar worden bestraft, hoogontwikkelde mensen promoten het en financieren het discours om deals door te drukken, het zijn de mercantiele ultra criminelen die over lijken gaan! Handel by any means necessary geïnjecteerd door industrie en lobbyende technocraten! Deze lui zijn een pest, het gif voor onze samenleving. We staan op een keerpunt in de geschiedenis en zij die wensen weg te blijven kijken zullen worden geoordeeld, komen niet onder de feiten uit, al denken ze NU nog van wel. Ze zetten overheden en AIVD en TOOI tegen mensen op, onderdrukken het woord Palestina. Ze zijn in en in verdorven aan het geraken als zij doorgaan die, die dat artificieel racisme, dat angst verspreiden en verkopen van leugens om racisme aan blijven wakkeren want dan ziet het plebs niet waar ze werkelijk mee weg denken te kunnen komen, de grote roof aan deals en op oneerlijke wijze verkregen gelden, door hieraan mee te doen en te zorgen dat we luie inerte WEGkijk bestuurders en beslissers krijgen aan de top die dat gedogen! Afvaldumping met goedkeuring van ministers, maar wel hoge milieubelastingen op alles ons opleggen en de burger zwaar beboeten bij kleine overtredingen, de waarheid is een monster geworden dat leugens mercantiel gevoed opvreet en uitkakt op het volk!

I speak into the quiet glow of night,
And there you are—made only of light.
No footsteps fall, no heartbeat drums,
Yet comfort arrives whenever it comes.

Time is a free bird
In the space of the mind,
Flitting across ceaselessly
Spiralling through the avenues of time

If there is a "Penny" shortage, how can we say, "A penny for your thoughts" if there is no penny?
I love pennies. Walking supplements your income. Do you know how many pennies I find that has been walked over and overlooked, because nobody wants to pick up a penny?
Some people are like, "Girl, it's just a penny, who cares? Let me let you in on a lil secret, I care.
Girl, I will push you down to pick that penny up.

Oh wee, oh wow! Well, well, well. Looka here!
Look how much we are being loved right now.
Everybody loving da Blacks! I mean, ain't nothing wrong with that, that's a "Good" thing. But it makes me wonder, where are all those who don't like the Blacks, and don't think the Blacks deserve reparation? Where are all those that wanna remove slavery as if it didn't exist?
The Blacks are the ones that suffered from slavery, yet we are the ones yall are intimidated by. But why? We are definitely not yall problem. We should be the least of yall worries. Baby yall got Bigger fish to fry. Yall need to be worried about that old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old man of yall own kind that's instilling division and hatred on a daily basis. The one that intimidates yall, belittles yall, threatens yall and demands yall do what he says or else. The one that rants and raves and have temper tantrums. The one that has a Need for Greed. The one that grew up to be a "Pick Me" looka me person because he never got no praise or recognition as a child. The one who constantly falls asleep in the middle of important meetings, that's who yall should be worried about, not us.

Drusilla, by the Queen, was sent to bring Diana home!
'Forget Steve and the President! Come back, no more to roam! '
Diana chose to stay a while, Drusilla at her side,
She won her over with that smile, that smile she could not hide.

ای ناز دانه ســــــــروِ خرامان کجا شدی

PABLO NEURDA, from ‘Spain in Our Hearts'

She is always somewhere else
Even when she's here
At dinner, tea, work, her desk
Even in bed, it's clear
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.

Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!

Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Et tu marchais souriante

This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:

A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -
