LUDDITES IN THE BATTLEFIELD

LUDDITES IN THE BATTLEFIELD

Fazing feasibly feeding feast
Freezing flickery fiery flinty flit
Forward awkwardly oozing overt
Fluttering freely like flying eaglet.

Shields shimmering in sunshine
Fields shaking in disguise uplift
Rhythm leading wraths of battalion
Regiment bending in tricky and fight.

Victory in life and death harking
Victory rising in red light smiling
Bloody field and displaced linen
Lining tattered to let twisting line.

Luddites in the battlefield
Looking like the defeated
Raising the bloody shield
Declaring victory in blood.

I AM NOT GUILTY

I AM NOT GUILTY

Was born to be free
On earth of righteous
Stop child abuse ooh men
Stop hunting kids ooh men
For I am a human, not a beast.

I am lost of my rights virginity
I am killed and abused dignity
Like the dawn my life survives
In worries I find my hope terrain
I weep bloody tears from sound beating.

I am an angel, an innocent one
I have the highest dignity one
Find not richness through my
Poor labour, killing my living
I too have tomorrow like you
I too admire the bright futures
I too have a bright and dreams.

A child is a prince and princess
A kid is loved by God from eras
Fling not my poor innocent body
Send me to school for knowledge
I will mount the radar and advocate
For the social welfare and betterment.

You too were the child like me
You are the master and reputable
You were grown fairly and meekly
Love was the song you heard daily
You smiled to the countless teeth
Like an egg you're delicately treated
There's no more tortures and labours
Hold my hand and I will be spared
Hold my hand ooh men
Hold my hand ooh men

DEAR SECRETARY

DEAR SECRETARY

Receive my warm greetings
From my tearing broken heart
Tears fall like gigantic waterfalls
From my crying reddish eyes.

Remember the day
We firstly met
Along grassland way
Under the mrumba tree
Perpetuating my heart tortures.

Like the news listener
You listened to my tonguetwister
Badly defeating your negligence
And you finally signed the treaty.

The twining voyage we launched
At cool sandy blossoming coast
With no need of captain nor pilot
We agreed to fairly lead the safari.

Our love was wider than the ocean
You loved the river and left ocean
The overwhelming love won't fade
In my shrinking and loving heart.

A BYGONE LIVING AFRICA

A BYGONE LIVING AFRICA

Timeless tribal primordial Africa
People sight the people of Africa
Masai, Zulu, Dogon of Africa
Hot, dusty with rolling grasslands
Huge herds of animals, stocky humans.

Cold and steamy with cosmopolitans
Eating naturally, starving and staying
Warring and emigrating from deserts
Jungles, highlands, savannahs dwell
Music and rhythm, deep in their souls.

Game meat is eaten without flinching
Extremely enjoying and adoring
African writers and intellectuals
Mouthpieces of African wallowing
Achebe, Okigbo, Ngugi, Maya, Soyinka.

Liberalism is impeccable, native rulers
Fell in love with you, benevolent Africa
Thrusting into your warm virgin forests
You're a man wearing a bush jacket
Disappearing off into the sunset.

Africa of the heroic warriors
Africa of loyal servants and diviners
Africa of the ancient wise men
Living in hermitic splendours
Heaving energetic offsprings.
