It\'s Strange In Africa
2781 said:
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors
about thee: hide thy self as it were as for a little moment, until the indignation be overpassed.

It\'s Strange In Africa
BlessedbyGod said:
Wow! Is that how it is in Africa??
We will only be free from the chains on earth when the lord returns and delivers us home,
Chin up my friend, He is coming!!

African Race
L. B. Mek said:
beautiful! dear Poet
I share your desire:
\'To quench my pride and cool my feet
For I have set my face as a flint
To run this race
It\'s African race
Like Waters of River Nile
So is like my blood flowing in my dark skin
The change I desire
The visions I see\'

It\'s not imagery dear LB... It\'s the reality of imagery... I want to be the change I desire .. the influence I dream of ... the teacher I write off ... the visions I see.... The cancer here is imagery but close to reality ... I have a positive mind that nothing is impossible for them that are courageous to bring these changes .... Iam one of them

We must protect the springs of life, for if we allow them to dry then we suffer the consequences mentally, physically and spiritually. You have expressed yourself and your concerns very eloquently in this poem, we should all sit up and take notice. Good write!

This may be actual but metaphorically it is strong and speaks out to keep the springs of knowledge clean and free, to not poison the mind. Well done

He sets You Free

Good write S.
I might be able to set this to a hymn tune, if you wish, though bit tricky with 5-line stanzas. Might be easier with an even-numbered line stanzas.

Give Us A Break
2781 said:
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they reward evil unto themselves.

any dogma
that\'s \'intolerant\' of differences
is \'man\' made
a tool, to \'corral\' humanity towards
an ideology or belief
\'system\', designed to insure people
are bracketed
into manageable, herds
(imagine
any of us creating, a faith
for our very own children
and yet, insuring
that very faith will instil, hate
within them
merely, because they differ
when their very difference
is caused by the genes and traits
we, gave them...
what absurdity!!
they wage crusade\'s and jihad\'s
shouting
\'in the name of their chosen deity\'
while killing
their deity\'s supposed children
who, would forgive
anyone
killing
their child, for whatever reason?
are well to be Abraham\'s
sacrificing our child to a deity;
a deity
who would accept, such a sacrifice?
only the warping of a human, mind
can imagine such an impossibility
as a tool for justifying
the cyclical nature of division
to keep the masses, enslaved
under the guise of ideological
hate
for their fellow brothers and sisters...)
an important write, dear Poet
if our dogma or ideology
cant withstand, our questions
it is not a judgement of our lacking
faith
it is a crack, a weakness
to showcase
that the dogma we entrust
may not be as perfect
as we wish, it was
then it\'s our choice
to turn a blind eye and ignore
those glaring unanswered questions
or
to keep on walking, our path
of inquisitive
yearning, to find a truth
we can invest our hope within
a Truth, that engages with us
offers us glimpses, to our answers
instead of hiding behind
and entrenched in a blind, rabid zeal
a dogmatic, archaic wall
designed to keep our minds, encaged
and unknowingly, enslaved
this when our humility, serves us
we must, first
be open minded enough, to accept
we do not, Know
enough, to assume anything
as being, absolute
and anything
that asserts such a notion
must, be questioned!

A New Cigarette

(I like how you utilise cigarettes
as a starting trail
for all the addictive substances
and distractions
purposed, to hinder our modernity
strongly worded
an exasperated impassioned plea
for people to wake up..)
