Mwenyeji Spikes

When ends swell and hope shines,
I know that that am from the precious wells,
It's so easy to tell with the charm hanging on my neck
Diamonds from Sierra Leone make that side shine
...

Look around and see, from the surface everything looks as it should
What you don't know is that the divide continues to grow
The haves will get some more from those that have not
The general order of this was pre-ordained by the law they made themselves
...

ABIDING IN FORGIVENESS

Abiding in forgiveness I recall,
This kind of forgiveness,
...

Body & Spirit

Without a body and soul
All that man treasures would I not wish to have
...

Flowers like Valentine

You always wanted to say it,
Like the epic you only read in novels
...

THE INNER VAULT

I took a vow never to look back
promised myself never to lend an eye
...

Standing at the gateway to happiness
You lean on the side and wave with uncertainty
How will you live with your memories being the stumbling block
Will you let your hand down and give way to the inbound feels
...

Another bright dawn, early morning and the rooster crows
Woke with hope but a lingering need for a little break to catch a breathe
Later I've been gone far gone almost Inaccessible to self
Other times I hold my chest out, heart bulging with confidence.
...

I seek enlightenment, ready to drink from the cup of knowledge
Let the words spoken sink & the truth simmer deep into the soul
Some called it magic but all along my spirit waited for the manifestation
I spoke words and released the intention into the universe
...

The greater the fight, the bigger the reward
Throw your feet to test the waters and hope not to drown
The depth of your hunger for success and glory beckons
You would rather go down in the fight than wonder what if
...

An aura of familiarity and genuine calm
For the traveler, a hint of nostalgia
We are all tethered to the world from a place called home
We stray and find our way back
...

Cold breeze of a decent view overlooking the hills
Every folk and jembe needed for tasks this early Saturday
We live, love and work, in this we discover happiness
Coming back together to lend hand to one another
...

Dollar portion
Drinking rum at the station with the rail workers
Making fun of the warm summer weather and ready cotton
On the other side, not a hint of anything to smile over
...

Seldom I pause and reflect, often I pause to ponder cause and effect.
Records would give precision to the picture, masses affected with the rapid spread of disease
When the year started out, it was going to everybody year but only one possessed it awfully
From a small town in the Asian dragon, the diffusion effectively reaching all corners of the world.
...

Shuffle the cards that you've been dealt,
Lift your head up look up to the clock on the pale wall,
Time tells, time heals time gives clarity
Only if you can tell what time it is.
...

Social media profiles not so social afterall
Fake smiles, overseas trips but look again what do you see
Pretense, ambiguity and the addiction to post some more then again
Gotta feel good from the inside outward
...

What if earth stood still for a rest momentarily?
Tired of going round and round her feet sore and her will restrained
Her revolution round the sun brought to a halt for the sake of rest
I would hope she never gives up of her motion
...

She takes a sharp look into the mirror
Maybe she don't like the small dark tiny spots at the edge of her skin
She nodes to the music playing on her pods eager to get out and run the day
Most days just be like the last nothing much different this last few weeks.
...

The kemetic nobles, alchemists, diviners and soul searchers
With eyes wide open looked into the future and the order of days
Their hearts with pure understanding of the seasons and changing tides
With certainty they spoke of generations to come and great awakening
...

Even in the last chapter of the hymns, there is sync in the symphony
With the last kick of the dying horse, there is beauty in the struggle
Ask the marching infantry they know of ugliness in the triumph
We advance an inch closer to victory, but why isn't the glory of the win good enough?
...
