John Sensele Poems

Obsession with higher returns on investment
Crushes man, separating a person from personal data
Collected through stealth, subterfuge hidden in a vestment
Free services claim to account holders flatter.
...

Billies, coolies and stoolies pollute
The world with sororities, robberies and territories
Where bullies sully, curry and dilute
Reason in every poison injected in priority factories.
...

Gladden twits, sadden and madden cheats
Treat time with respect, greet the downtrodden
Brighten up career prospects, threaten rogue beasts
When wild elephants steal veggies from a garden.
...

Lost in limbo, puzzling melancholy symbols, wondering why
So much live ambience and so many Zambian lives seem
To be cut short on the fly
In a barrage of road carnage. Zambians murder they scream.
...

Pray ceaselessly, send prayers to God
Who planned, formed you and sent
You into our family like a gold
Nugget packaged and meant
...

Doves cry when Purple Prince dies
Unexpectedly in Minnesota at the age of fifty seven.
Virtuoso Prince's creative genius scaled peerless skies.
...

The opportunity to love is common to all
Adults, the able-bodied, the infirm and children
Who love from the bottom of their hearts in a romantic mall.
...

The crown of life smiles at folks who don't frown
Regardless of how dire spires of circumstances may get
For frowns rob folks of vitality until their noun
Resembles an assembly of forsaken folks who forget
...

The emptiness I feel
In the life I lead
Can't fill and steal pains that deal
Blows I seldom need
...

A great boon soon treks through not by admiring the moon
Much as the moon lights up our night delights despite a range of challenges
That baffle our shuffle if a scuffle from an unfunny cartoon
Somehow steals the limelight and deals a pack of cards singes
...
