They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

Life and death the inseparable pair In the former, all is fair Beyond the latter, we despair Ironically, some think otherwise The former and latter each happen once Whether fair or despair, we exist to pay the price From cradle to grave We live, both the fainthearted and the brave Life and death are a must  Move on, Press on, Live on Rise up and grind hard Take that bold step Be carefree, fear no mistakes Be grateful, stay faithful Growth fruitful, live happily Forgiving and Believing We may live long but we die in a dash Then everything will disappear in a flash Smile when you can and blush if need be Let's share the laughter Before dreams shatter And we don't matter anymore Hence, let our today matter more We have much, so life and death expect much in equal measure. Until death beckons, be life's beacon! Credit: Etsy

Moments back in time, social media was the canker seemingly moulding the world Now, it is our binding force We are obliged to digitally bond, nurture and grow together We used to value less the smiles of family and friends Now, we crave the smile of strangers Thanks to the frenemy, the mask We wish to be alone to emulate the safety protocol This pandemic requires such an element Now, it means something critical to be left alone and in isolation Life is likely to elude us in that state. Our existence is threatened by a folly Yet, through its impact, we have realized what it means to exist in essence Nevertheless, we are everywhere Our socially distant co-existence is now a global social support network We are the substance that nurtures life everywhere We are the beings racing to live free Free from what is racking havoc through our race The human race now has a much more brutal common enemy We had evolved through a series of phases in this life Thi...

You gazed I smiled The most expensive feeling yet It was the 'at first sight' experience The circumstance was greased with grace to a prayer I believed had been answered If love is Mathematics, please be my calculator I will be your dictionary if you need to make any statement May we look farther than the usual The situation might look less than standard but that's an understatement I want to live the rest of my life with you laughing and growing together We would go out and return home to where our love is brewed Overflowing and grooming generations unconditionally My love don't have to sweep you off your feet It would lift you off the ground anytime you fall As I look forward to being your pilot and making you soar to new horizons Let's walk not where the path may lead but create ours to where home is Beauty is something your life defines You're God's standard for intelligence and awesomeness For your compassionate heart is vast With ...
