Wheat and chaff are two
Chaff makes wheat
But wheat not chaff
Wheat is wheat as wheat
...
Just as steam from a pot rises
Spreads and vanishes in mid-ascent
Is the life of man whose very existence
Is so short and calculated on this planet.
...
Just then (Storm)
See the sediments and the rubble
The evidence of a struggle
...
Holding on is not forever
It is for a while, a moment
There is a time to let go
Of the will and of all
...
You have eyes that attract like a baobab tree
Where men, women and children get refreshments for free
Your teeth are milky as the fruit itself
Your hair dark as the kernel that remains after sucking the milky fruit away.
...
A closet I have not
But the bare ground on which I kneel
Which is not even mine
I pour out the shrapnels of my moribund heart
...
Who holds the compass of times
That tells of the future and past alike.
Who amongst the world is wise
That can calculate the stubs of grass.
...
When winds blow and children scream
When our pots are empty and our teeth clean
When our trousers are ragged and our women are naked
When we use papers to warm our chimney's
...
We Shall See
We shall see.
Will we be gathering together
On that fateful day
Drowned in chaos
And immersed in conversation
And we hear a voice say
Order in heaven?
Will we be standing
On a queue or will there be two
Separating men and women
even me and you
or others who have gone
and have made it in?
Will there be those incarnates,
asking for bribes
as some of them do
in this doomed world
or will there be surveillance
crushing, burning and chasing them out?
Will those that are damned
Accept their fate
Or they will demonstrate
At the narrow gate
Will they be able to amass
Much wealth that they buy others
Who have not gotten anything yet?
