Mwenyeji Spikes Poems

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

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
...

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
...

THE INNER VAULT

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

At the right age of innocence I was immersed in the depth of the baptismal waters
From the depth I emerged feeling somewhat unchanged from the outside
With the urge for change and a new life I walked back home from the service
The spirit of patience and discernment was not bestowed upon me on that day yet

The man rides on the poor man's shoulders
No longer is it a secret, the rich man feeds off the poor man's bowl
Man eat man and rather, survival for the fittest in a capitalist society
Look closely at the economies of scale and whom it may favor

The news and media claims it's impossible to attain the normal we took for granted
Worry and fear has gripped the folk both in the city and the country side
The pandemic orders chaos and restraint but my heart will reclaim peace
...

My mind is unbound but I still feel the shackles around my thoughts
Hold my right to speak or do, rest my words and action be used against me
I walk along to see if the today I had all pictured in my head is all that
Whether right or wrong, I step out without much assurance of what life is to be
...
