Preface
The fragile lily is being fortified with calcium.
The world is embellished in altercations.
The pilot is now a scapegoat.
Peace has become a mirage…
The promotion of hate speech by political, religious and non-religious bodies today has further polluted the atmosphere to the extent that we are now gasping for breath in order to survive. Our day has become night and night has become day. Our sleeping time has been stolen from us. The journey is ongoing.
This book “The Terrorist Inclinations” has come at a most auspicious time when the cultivation of religious intolerance through hate speeches has become so infectious that virtually everyone is affected. The poems rightly address a common issue – terrorism. The messages in the poems are germane and easy to understand. The following highlights are common to majority of the poems:
Various governments seem to further worsen the issue of terrorism through the inappropriate response to terror related acts. They fail to understand that the issue is fundamentally systemic and should be addressed as such, instead of focusing on treating the symptoms. Injustice and suppressed anger is a major contributor to terrorism. Youths are easily lured into terrorism potentially through all kinds of religion-induced brainwashing activities that daily transform our youths into heartless and wicked creatures. Condemnation of the activities of institutions which deliberately work to forcefully suppress systemic anger instead of addressing the foundation of systemic failure. The untoward effect of the delegation of parental responsibilities to cronies such as nannies and housekeepers. Failure of the school system to give wholesome education to our children. The lack of effective conflict resolution mechanism which invariably snowballs into terrorist acts. The promotion of peace as a cardinal objective. Advocacy against terrorism.The book aptly captures the foundation, promotion and propagation of terrorism. It provides appropriate solutions to identified problems in form of anecdotes and deep thoughts.
A terrorist is expected to rightly peruse this book and be convinced of the need to abandon terrorism.
A religious bigot is expected to peruse this book and be positively transformed.
An innocent youth is expected to peruse this book and say no to terrorism.
Parents are expected to peruse this book and be more responsive to child upbringing.
Politicians and governments alike are expected to gain more insight as regards the treatment of fundamental issues that are germane to stamping out terrorism.

June 2017.
The Terrorist
An animal like an animal
Skull inhabited by worms.
Eye socket enveloped by brain
A monster indeed.
A brainwashed entity
Understands the “go language”
Failure is not an option
Blood must flow.
Propelled by insanity,
Engrossed in brutal killings,
Too late for revival
Blood must flow.
Crazy about reality,
Blinded by reason,
A captive of the mindless,
Ready for detonation.
Sometimes, childhood - pretty good
Boyhood almost excellent,
Why the detour?
Your guess is as good as mine.
A short circuit apparent
Cancerous explosion erupts.
Everywhere becomes malignant
Everything red is elicited.
Regards for parents forever lost
The animal in him salutes
Chooses to become an orphan,
Man in him in prison.
Some girls become boys
Products of brainwashing,
Death, they must embrace
Smooth hereafter envisaged.
Who is fooling who?
The chicken has come home to roost.
Who will open the door?
Mother Nature, please help!
Wind, where are you?
The life in us, about to vaporize,
What is happening?
Oh! Mother Nature, help us.
Monsters everywhere
A creation of us all,
Everyone passing the bulk
Too cold for comfort.
The lions are out of jungle
They now live with us.
Our children in danger,
After decimating us.
Who will peruse the home?
Who is strong and mighty?
Any volunteer around?
Mother Nature, help us.
We thought the future will be bright.
Under the tree, sudden violence erupts.
Humans becoming animals
Brain exchange implicated.
Who will bell the cat?
Tigers let loose.
A meal for the fierce
Mother Nature, where are you?
Some are crying and laughing
Foolishness on rampage,
Insanity a second name
Good for fools.
Who will control the tantrum?
Bombs blasting repeatedly,
The deaf receiving healing
The able becoming deaf.
Role exchange implicated.
Experience my part of the world.
Animals are let loose
The home in ruins.
Terrorist, terrorist and terrorists
Mother Nature beckons at you.
Can you hear her cry?
Deafness come calling.
Oh! How are the mighty fallen?
Animals in charge
Operating without barriers
The world in ruins.
We reap from our inactions
Inadequate actions,
The fool in us all
At the road junction.
Child Upbringing
The ways of the eagle is strange
Brings up her young with eagerness,
Expects reasonable maturity
But soon becomes impatient.
Baby fly, baby fly, baby fly
Or I push and push,
Until you prove failure.
On discovery is a rescue.
Mother eagle’s action,
Expectations driven,
No room for laziness
You must be up and doing.
Humans are no eagles.
You reap what you sow.
There are seasons and there are seasons.
You must watch to be correct.
The environment, critical in child upbringing
Color variations impactful.
Topography builds character
Good for the languages.
Caution, caution and caution
Food projects personality.
Strong, healthy, sickly and lazy
You reap what you sowed.
Today’s children are more sophisticated
Era of computer,
Parents becoming obsolete
Peer pressure wins.
Mom and Dad on vacation
House-keeper and Nannies on duty,
In pursuit of comfort for children
Children forever lost.
Culpable neglect at the corner
Parents becoming agitated,
Do not forget
Remember – Reaping what you sowed.
Children more sophisticated
Even above the space.
With strange cloth,
Harvest time beckons.
Suicide embraced by many
Luxury of life deserted.
Money cannot help
Darkness rules the world.
Where is our joy?
Where is our happiness?
What is happening?
Gravel in our mouths.
Good parenting, neglected
An invitation to anarchy,
A loss to peace
Violence unfolds.
Blame, at whose door step?
Parents, parents and parents,
Lack of vision and planning
Reaping what you sowed.
Child upbringing, not a tea party
Time and seasons rule the world.
Find your relevance
Or you are left behind.
Sometimes, foolishness beckons
Childishness inhabiting the mouth,
A game of blame
You shoot yourself.
Those who sow in tears
Sure to reap in joy.
What have you sowed?
Sure to reap.
Lessons from challenges
Gold to the wise,
No lessons,
Future is bleak.
The wise don’t joke with childhood
Their tomorrow, an offshoot,
Ending well or sadly,
Sowing determines harvest.
Be wise.
A good child upbringing
Gives peace to the world,
Parents, Parents! Please arise.
You have a duty
Duty to your children,
Allocate time to personally mould them.
If you don’t, you’ll regret.
Conflict in Schools
The diversity is good
Gives room for awareness
Improves communication skills
Impacts the world.
Positively or negatively
Home and teacher dependent,
Positive home and positive school are good.
Negative home and positive school, a fair hope.
Negative school and positive home, also a fair hope,
Negative home and negative school, an absolute swamp!
Who will drain the swamp?
Your guess is as good as mine.
You and community, a huge impact on children,
Sow garbage, reap garbage.
Conflict of interest at home,
Wakes up at school.
Conflict of interest at school,
Wakes up at home,
Who will bell the cat?
Your guess is as good as mine.
We produce confused lots
And expect a peaceful world.
The paranoid appearing sane
Oh! We must wake up!
Different sounds hungrily unfolds
Confusion becomes our lot.
Where is the road to follow?
Mother Nature takes flight.
The roads are empty
Road blocks everywhere,
The cops are too skinny.
Who will rescue the lot?
Schools becoming bullying joints
Frustrations let loose.
Too hot to handle
Students in disarray.
Teachers are not better
Confusion everywhere,
The head appears hollow
Cotton wool masquerading as brain.
Hijackers’ beaming red smiles
Take advantage of our day.
Build a horror endowed future.
A future indeed.
Red, red, and red
Everywhere is red.
Where are the “whites”
Only God knows.
The black accompanies the red
Red and black party everywhere,
The white is lost or buried
Who is responsible?
Abandoned role births a helpless future.
Garbage in, garbage out,
Home of conflicts,
Arising everywhere.
Adulterated people dancing
The roads are red and black.
Even the birds are becoming extinct
Cockroaches everywhere.
Where are the days of moonlighting?
Where are the once happy homes?
Where are the dignified schools?
We lost them in pursuit of everything absurd.
Oh! What an irony
The centre has become a valley.
A valley too deep for comfort
Oh! Where is Mother Nature.
We need help from outer space
Help indeed, help indeed, help indeed!
What have we sown?
Who will drain the swamp?
The sane goes to sleep
The insane rules,
The sane wakes up and complain
Sorry, sorry – you blew your chance.
In the days of old,
Parents know their roles.
Never found wanting
Unlike today’s parents.
Roles transferred to schools
Moribund schools indeed.
A confused lot
Our children in jeopardy.
Peer Pressure
The flowers are yellow
Yellow everywhere.
The unity is strong
Difficult to defeat.
Brown head goats approaching
The sea of yellow frightens them.
Should we go forward or retreat?
A goat is a goat.
Color association – beautiful to behold
Collective strength in unity,
The likes protecting likes
Easy to break a stick of broom.
An isolated youth in the midst of lions,
Ultimate food for the lions,
The youth with survival instinct,
Bows to pressure.
On the other hand,
A youth with a lion’s mentality
Difficult to bend,
Product of good home.
A strong home,
Brings out the lions in our youths,
A week home,
Makes vegetables of them.
Recipe to be above peer pressure:
Strong home, strong home, strong home,
Peers become easy to handle,
The game is over.
On the other hand,
A weak home,
Renders the youth vulnerable,
Foolishness on record.
Fools produce fools.
The wise birth the wise.
Who produced you?
Have you produced any?
Follow the path of wisdom
Hungrily go for it.
An antidote for negative peer pressure
The world must rise again.
Negative peer pressure must be defeated
The journey begins at the home.
Produce good children,
The torch bearers of tomorrow.
It is a case of mindset.
Wisdom endowed children,
Resist negative tendencies.
Result of good homes.
Daily bath your children with wisdom
It becomes the air they breathe
And the food they eat.
No room for wrong influence.
That is the needed music.
Music so desirable,
To unravel the mysteries of today’s world,
We need a change.
Continue on this road.
Wisdom overcomes foolishness.
Follow the yellow line,
Let’s make the world yellow and beautiful.
We are tired of evil
Good must dominate.
We deserve a peaceful world
A world so pleasing.
Are you part of the problem?
Or a solution provider?
Join the peace train
Away with terrorism.
Run from negative peers
Be wise!
You are too good to fail.
See you on the side of wisdom.
Imagine a world so happy
Developments everywhere,
Terrorism wiped out
A peaceful world.
I am sure you love peace
Otherwise, you will not be here.
Peace, peace, peace and peace
Your gift to the world!
Let the peer pressure go positive
Positive, positive and positive,
Go ahead fruitfully
Welcome on board.
The Future
Is the future dead?
Who leads the future?
Who gives birth to the future?
The youth, the youth, the youth.
The journey is turbulent
A climb of mountains,
Sharp and steep,
Everywhere is red.
Fear appearing intermittently,
Black accompanying the fear,
Hope almost lost in action,
The game changer awaited.
Monsters everywhere
No one to trust,
The truth beckons
Reality too cold for comfort.
Nakedness everywhere
What is the lot of textile factories?
We are through with leafy coverings
Adam and Eve moved to animal skins.
Are we going backward or forward?
Who can provide the answer?
We are becoming confused.
Confusion, confusion and confusion.
The story must be told,
Once upon a time,
The story began with the tortoise
Who assumed that others were fools.
Unknown to him,
He alone is a fool.
Wisdom belongs to others.
The naked are bereft of wisdom.
The environment is green
The youth are naked.
Even Mother Nature is angry,
Angry at apparent cold.
Adam and Eve started with green leaves.
The youths have taken us pre Adam and Eve.
Who is wise?
We need to drain the swamp!
Collective draining is desirable.
If we cannot move forward,
We must not move backward.
Youth, youth, be wise.
Wisdom does not come cheap
You are too endowed to fail.
A brain resides in your skull
Make use of it.
Hallucinations, hallucinations everywhere,
We all seem to catch the bug.
Reality has taken flight….
Who will tame the animal?
The sun is about to set
A few expects it to rise again.
Some want a blackout
Darkness, they desire.
Some hypnotized are becoming conscious.
Eyes viewing awkward stars,
Reality is far from them.
Mother Nature! Where are you?
The red and black have taken over,
Blood flowing on mountain tops,
Darkness envelopes our existence,
Mother Nature, where are you?
In the presence of the plants,
There is life on earth.
Plants give out oxygen,
Animals give out carbondioxide.
An exchange takes place,
Money is not required.
The parties are appreciative.
Mother Nature to the rescue.
Mother Nature where are you?
Our youths have become mundane.
Darkness is covering everywhere.
A free flow of human blood.
Give us the needed oxygen.
Our carbondioxide has undergone mutation.
Can you survive with it?
Mother Nature, please survive.
Despite the poison, we still need you
Please forgive us.
We need you to stay alive
Please oblige us – our hope.
Religion in Disarray
The swamp, the swamp, the swamp,
Red, red, red,
Black, black, black,
Oh! Oh, Oh.
Calm down my dear
All hope is not lost.
Our eyes are opened
Thank God for life.
We started outside of religion
Along the path, religion appeared.
It opened us for the better
We basked in accomplishments.
Our successes entered our brains
We believe in our abilities.
We drove God away from our lives
We are able!
Nature abhors a vacuum
The wise has turned foolish.
The assumed foolish has become wise.
The shame belongs to who?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Once upon a time,
Humility was our second nature.
We depended on God’s direction.
Unfortunately and unfortunately,
The battle became dangerous and fierce.
We abandoned God for human wisdom.
Your guess is as good as mine.
The wise turned foolish.
Can no longer wag its tail,
Tail amputated,
Swims in a sea of regrets.
Nations founded on Godly principles
Suddenly eating human wisdom bug,
Produce imbeciles as offspring
The world goes aflame.
The one who deserves love is hated
The one to be hated is loved.
Hermaphrodites everywhere,
Dominant genes explode.
Increasing quest for the mundane
Relegate religion to the swamp.
The swamp is fighting back
We are too proud to succumb.
Backwardness on front burner,
Terrorism, terrorism, terrorism,
Product of religion neglect,
A product of brainwashing.
We got it wrong
Radicalization took centre stage
Teachers embracing illiteracy
We are bewitched!
Eyes opened to behold horror
Horror like the air we breathe
Almost like the food we eat
Too late to cry.
The place of religion is relegated
Knowingly or unknowingly,
The punishment is open to all
As you make your bed, you lie on it.
Majority are crying
Crying, crying and crying.
Who will stop the cry?
Terrorists on the loose.
Crying has become a privilege
A privilege too strong for some,
Insanity rules
Mother Nature, where are you?
Abandonment of Godly principles implicated.
Religion thrown out of school windows,
Nature abhors a vacuum
Human wisdom takes over!
Unfortunately and unfortunately,
Human wisdom did not create the world
It is indeed limited,
We are now swampy.
Who will drain the swamp?
We are ashamed but keep passing the bulk.
Round and round a circle we go!
Mother Nature crying.
Behold, the time is now!
Assist Mother Nature
Assist yourself
The world smiles again.
Godlessness Unlimited
You are a god
Who is God?
You are god
Who needs God?
An amazing question indeed
How did we get here?
Evolution brought us here
No one did, but evolution.
The question is.
How did evolution originate?
Who created evolution?
Probably, evolution created itself.
We walk on our legs
Why not walk with the head.
Our eyes are in front of our head
Why not locate them at the back?
Do you want yours at the back?
A simple scientific procedure,
You will get there.
You are god!
Who taught you the difference between food and poison?
Maybe human wisdom,
If this is true,
Poison killed forefathers who lacked wisdom.
Our accomplishments on our heads,
We believe we are able.
The god in us is proud,
We daily put God to test.
Our inventions are becoming rabid,
Power to wipe out humanity now on sale,
You know you are god,
You wake up every morning by your power!
You know you are god,
Why do people die of cancer?
You know you overflow with wisdom,
Why not stop all deaths?
My dear, we are full of ourselves!
The god in us drives away God.
Nature abhors a vacuum,
Culpable emptiness has taken over.
The so called wise have become foolish,
Answerless questions arise daily.
We are all bewildered,
Mother Nature is laughing.
To some, the cup is full.
To others, it is half empty.
Some have filled their mouth with gravel.
Pride has kept them in decimating bunkers.
The one who is black wants to be white,
The white wants to be black.
What happened to contentment?
Godlessness on the prowl!
We are tired of living on earth,
We want to recreate the world.
You know we are god,
God made a mistake.
Your wisdom is better than God’s,
God is old fashioned.
You are modern,
Oh! The god in you.
That is the lot of the Godless,
They think they are wise.
Go and learn from the ants,
They believe in time and season.
A sheep cannot challenge a true lion,
If it does, the result is obvious.
The sheep is on its own,
Reaping what it sowed.
The so called wise is now weeping.
The one who is god now beckons on God.
Mother Nature, where are you?
Blood has filled the swamps.
You know what? Let us return to God.
You might be a god but certainly not God.
God is God and man is man.
You cannot change the rhythm.
As you continue to usurp God’s role,
Terrorism will not cease.
Wisdom beckons,
Let us all return to God.
The old, the young,
The white, the black,
The tall, the short,
Bring back the smiles.
Caricature and Caricatures
You think you are wise.
Between you and us who is wiser?
The terrorist or the terrified
We live in a fool’s paradise.
The game is for the monkeys
The terrorist lacks peace
The terrified lacks peace
A loose-loose adventure.
Between the snake and the eagle,
Who captains the tree branch?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Wise up friend!
Between the snake and the eagle,
Who captains the sky?
Your guess is equally as good as mine.
We all have a measure of authority.
Between the terrorists and the terrified,
Who holds the key?
The key to the pit,
Or the key to comfort zone.
It depends on your side of divide,
Flex muscle, flex muscle and flex muscle,
A misadventure per excellence,
A game for losers.
The satisfied is crying for food.
The hungry claims satisfaction,
Who is fooling who?
Stupidity at play.
The cup is half full,
The cup is half empty,
Absolutely on same page,
It depends on your vision.
The terrorist plots and lacks sleep
The terrified, counters it and lacks sleep,
Who is more stupid?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!!
Who created the swamp?
Who will drain it?
Your guess is as good as mine.
The water is boiling,
The frog is crying for help.
Between the two,
Who is foolish?
Freedom belongs to the smart and sighted.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Give a brain to the frog.
Will surely embrace freedom.
Dullness keeps it in suicide mode,
Suicide undiscovered.
Smartness and sightedness an eye opener,
Only for the wise.
Available peace for sale,
Terrorists requires it,
The terrified requires it,
Negotiation table welcome.
Why play the fool?
Wisdom is not cheap.
Who did the brainwashing?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Who stole our sanity?
You are supposed to secure it.
While asleep, it was stolen.
A cry-baby.
In pursuit of shortcut,
While others were working,
You took solace in sleep.
Now reality beckons.
Too late to cry,
You must write the exam.
Dead or alive,
The result is same.
Pot calling kettle black,
We all slept at work,
The mundane took over,
The result – appalling.
Blood, blood, blood everywhere,
Terrorists on the prowl,
The sane rally round it,
Too dangerous for comfort.
Be wise, be wise, be wise!
Journey out with your brain,
The foundation must be visited,
Make a quick fix.
Blind Atop Sighted
In their kingdom,
Autocracy makes them vulnerable.
Their world is dark,
Seldom full of pleasantries.
The kingdom beneath the slide,
Home to high risk earth movements,
Their joy, non-existent,
What lies ahead?
Enveloped by suppressed anger,
Looking for an escape route,
A route clear and sudden,
Searching for the end game.
Sometimes, fear erupts,
They believe they have been cheated.
Are they going through brainwashing?
So it seems.
Their condition attracts sympathy,
A call for help,
Can we exchange roles?
Everyone is silent.
Yet, they matter in the world,
A world so cruel to them,
Where is God in all of this?
An answer is required.
Imagine living in the dark,
All around you appears inviting.
But the darkness is not friendly,
How can we find our feet?
The sighted are ignorant of our plight,
How can we exchange roles?
Our world is poverty prone,
Yet we live in the midst of plenty.
Bigots, bigots, bigots everywhere,
Youthful exuberance exhibited.
Undue competition smells fresh.
Ignorance of hereafter indeed.
Our world is full of swamps,
Abandoned by the political class,
Mother Nature, where are you?
We deserve better things.
Undue ambition overtakes the world.
Selfishness, selfishness and selfishness,
No one cares.
Absolutely on our own.
The blind attracts sympathy,
Even for a while.
Sympathy so transient,
If only we can exchange roles.
The road of the mind is strange,
Attracting conflicts,
Peace, where are you?
The mountain has become a plain.
They stole our joy,
The majority did.
Mother Nature where are you?
Please exchange the roles.
Big, small, short and tall,
Let us all converge,
At the football arena,
For some to watch, and others to hear.
Injustice, injustice and injustice,
Our condition, though appalling,
Our senses are better developed,
Our intuition is always better.
We must exchange roles.
Justice must reign supreme.
Enough of living in oblivion,
Reality must change hands.
If we cannot win, no one will.
Life is about give and take.
In the world of the selfish,
Taking is enjoyed by one.
Let us all live in darkness,
Appearance of light is sectional.
The world, do not care.
Welcome to our world.
Welcome the terrorists,
Our friends in darkness,
The hope of a dark world,
Blood, blood, blood everywhere.
Who will tame the terrorists?
The foundation is faulty.
Let the world make amends,
Eagerly awaiting the light.
Peace and Progress
The eyes appearing suspicious,
The owl in the horizon,
The eagles at their game,
Lizards in crevices.
Everyone loves safety,
Live and let live,
Good for all and sundry,
A game for the sane.
The stone-age has come and gone,
Industrial age appeared.
Information age now with us,
In search of peace and progress.
A game of sow and reap,
Invest in peace, harvest peace.
Progress comes naturally,
The brain is active.
Mutant genes appear in brain
A very risky venture
A venture for the dogs
Very rabid indeed.
The bullying is rapid,
The fearful defeated.
Bully, cruising home,
The world in their hands.
Owners of mouth are silent,
The mouth in unusual use,
The world bears the brunt,
A brunt unnatural.
Search for peace ongoing,
Elders choose to go asleep.
Rodents reign supreme,
Hallucinations everywhere.
We gave it out on platter of gold,
Due to actions and inactions,
To collect it back,
Herculean indeed.
The trailer is cruising home,
An unwanted home,
The bulldozers are active,
Destroying the homes.
Terrorism homes,
A collective agreement,
Pull them down,
Instant and instant and instant.
Undue expenses everywhere,
Violence erupts on crater.
Red liquid everywhere,
A senseless show of power.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Who is winning?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Sanity expecting peace
Insanity prefers otherwise.
The world must move on,
Peacefully, peacefully and peacefully.
The time for progress is now,
If we have lost the past,
The future is in our hands,
The needful we must do.
Everyone benefits from progress,
No enduring peace; no true progress.
Why circle-trip in the bush?
A time to move on.
Terrorist! Please, lay down your arms
The world loves you.
Stop unloving yourself,
Halt the bombs.
Why blow yourself to pieces?
Why deny yourself of wholesome burial?
Even the religions decry your burial.
Brainwashing must stop.
You have a fruitful role to play.
Produce peace and progress.
You are too important to lose,
The world needs you.
Your parents need you,
Your siblings need you.
Your community needs you,
Peace and progress needs you.
The terrorist make use of progress,
Information technology represents progress.
It is a product of peace,
Let sanity prevail.
Information Technology
A quick search on the internet,
Acts of bomb manufacture downloads.
The brainwashed, easily access it,
A time bomb indeed.
A bomb waiting for detonation,
Welcomed by miscreants,
The bad and ugly,
Information, an ordered- disorder decoder.
Available for good use,
Available for bad use,
Available for undecided use,
Available for swamp use.
Secrets on the streets,
Nowhere to hide,
The old, the young and pretty,
Nowhere to hide.
Sometimes, its use is hideous,
Other times applauded.
Depending on the divide,
Could be good or bad.
System research ongoing,
Users hungrily await exploits.
A step-further, a step-closer,
Within everyone’s reach.
The pilots are beneficiaries,
Hijackers’ also beneficiaries,
Where are the passengers?
Gadgets switched off until landing.
In the medieval era,
Relative peace abound.
In the information era,
Anything can happen.
Child geniuses now abound.
Information technology offspring,
Springing beyond the present,
The future is here.
In the days of analogue,
Digital technology has no place.
Now in the digital,
Analogue is laughable.
Information must find good uses.
Let us project brainwashed brains,
Into a community of peace,
Peace and peace and peace.
Youths, increasingly more advanced,
Improvised devices on the increase,
Evil let loose,
Collectively, we are in danger.
The ant is taller than the giraffe,
The goat is shorter than the ant.
The nation is governed by babies,
Imbeciles atop geniuses.
Rabid laughter everywhere,
The impossible becoming possible,
Who is to blame?
Your guess is as good as mine.
The fish now lives on tree tops,
The millipede living inside fire,
Kings becoming slaves,
Oh! Information technology.
Information technology indeed,
An erudite concept of note,
Diverse applications arise,
The roads becoming confusing.
Who determines the right path?
The sane or the brainwashed,
Minority controlling the majority,
Information technology indeed.
Terror, terror and terror,
Evil application of technology,
Boldly starring at us,
The end is almost at hand.
On bended knees we stand,
No to nuclear war!
The insane must go to sleep,
We need peace.
Hello terror gang,
Say no to brainwashing.
You are more useful alive,
Suicide is a waste.
Your brain has a function,
Allow it to function.
You are beyond a caricature,
Information technology is good.
Terror Sponsors
A friend today, an enemy tomorrow,
The way of the world,
The truth is unfolding,
Eyes open but blind.
Friends of yesteryears,
Soon metamorphose into vicious enemies.
Enemies so stern and grave,
Decimation in the horizon.
One chooses to live,
The other is ready to die.
Where is the meeting point?
Your guess is as good as mine.
One is smiling to the bank,
Proceeds of arms sales,
The other in abject penury and devastation,
His existence completely altered.
A benefit and a loss,
Cracks appear on the wall.
Sheepish laughter erupts,
The lion speaks.
Misadventure of morbid brains,
A catalogue of desolation,
Violently unfold,
Force too strong to handle.
Dejection sets in,
Hope is lost.
The monkey is dishing out banana,
Suicide at hand.
Sponsors, too good to die,
Death, not an option,
Yet, freely dish out terror,
Escape route to the bunker.
Fools easily conscripted,
Sent on horror-filled suicide missions,
A journey of no return,
Vaporization of soul.
Food supplies from targets,
Sponsors feasting and laughing,
The brainwashed are starving,
Endless show of madness.
The situation must continue
Sponsor’s life is sweet
Too sweet to die,
Suicide for the brainwashed.
An interplay; between the powers,
Your time is up.
Allow me to reign,
My time has come!
Lack of agreement,
Terror rules the world.
Everyone, living in fear,
Living but dead.
Who holds the ace?
Probably from outer-space,
No one knows tomorrow,
Tomorrow knows itself.
Terrorist today, villain tomorrow,
I recommend a change.
A positive one indeed,
Paradigm shift.
The today’s terror sponsor,
A terror victim tomorrow,
You can’t be here forever,
History teaches wisdom.
Have you heard the word karma
It has a way of visiting you.
Even when you least expect,
Karma is active.
Your birth is not a mistake,
You have a purpose on earth.
Certainly not for terror,
Embrace peace.
Peace, peace and peace,
The world craves for you.
Mother Nature, where are you?
Your children are calling.
Explosion and explosions everywhere,
Nowhere to hide,
Who is fooling who?
A game for the smart.
You are smart,
Your brain is active.
Shift the paradigm,
Refuse to sponsor terror.
Guerrilla Warfare
Strike and melt,
Difficult to fathom,
Wicked incursions,
Incursions too many.
The damage is colossal,
A ghost-like appearance,
As useful as snowflakes,
Hatred propelled.
Their appearance is instant,
Too cold for comfort,
Vaporize too soon,
Ambush becomes a waste.
The game becomes cumbersome,
Signals information at play,
Defections negotiated,
A military strategy.
The tanks are missing,
The iron melts easily.
Sabotage and corruption,
A worthy companion.
Enemy infiltrates group,
Conscripted on payroll,
An enemy within,
The real enemy.
Guerrilla tactics manifest,
You win today, you lose tomorrow.
The game is never smooth,
Ask the vanquished.
Horrors of guerrilla war,
Prolonged squalor,
The sponsors are trigger happy,
Smiling to the bank.
The citizens cry out,
Life, sniffed out too often.
Everyone is a victim,
Victims too many.
The smiles, becoming short,
Hard faces come up.
Why continue with war?
The sane must intervene.
Throughout the world
From north to south,
East and west,
Release the olive branch.
Let the white flags fly unhindered,
They are better than Red.
Stop the free flow of precious blood,
Nature wants fellowship.
Identify your location.
Are you on the white side?
Or a harbinger of terror,
Give peace a chance.
Peace is desirable,
Say no to guerrilla warfare.
Terrorism represents madness,
You are too endowed to be mad.
Let us meet at the conference table,
No hiccups please!
We can agree to agree,
We are more than able.
Stretch out that hand,
A hand so beautiful,
Wonderful to behold,
A worthy hand indeed.
Expel hand-held terrorism,
Inhale peace.
Conscript others,
You are loaded for that.
The marks on your palm
Are symbols of peace,
Peace so diversified,
An amazing beauty.
Put it to good use,
The real purpose
A purpose so good,
Away with terrorism.
Say no to guerrilla warfare,
Your brain is beyond it.
Move away from darkness,
Into the new world.
A world full of pleasantness,
A world full of love and peace,
A world endowed with hospitality.
That is the new world.
Continental Reorientation
Events of yesteryears,
Shape our today.
Events of today,
Will shape our tomorrow.
Where are the ideologies?
Ideologies we so much cherish.
Alignments and realignments,
Suspicion everywhere.
Brother suspects brother,
Sister suspects sister,
Husband suspects wife,
Wife suspects husband.
Permanent friendship,
Not advisable.
Permanent interest,
Everyone at home!
Alignments and counter-alignments,
All eyes are opened.
Trust is elusive,
A suspicious world.
Class concepts find relevance
Vigorously promoted,
Absolutely paramount
The needy at a loss.
Friendships, based on interest,
Commands the world,
The game of mutual interest,
A daily occurrence.
Terrorist groups realign,
Realignments too many,
Coalition of like forces spring up,
Cycle of realignments endless.
The powers forcefully intervene
An intervention below convention,
Terrorists vent their anger,
Blood erupts.
Who needs a friend?
Invitations everywhere,
Deception unlimited,
The world in a circle.
Conflict of interest abound
Shameful realignments implicated.
Economic downturn regular,
Life must go on.
Hate speech takes over,
A visible vehicle for terrorism
The wise should avoid it,
It kills faster than a bomb.
How can you uncover hate?
Sometimes, it starts innocently,
It grows beyond reason,
Too late for a detour.
Your friend today,
A potential enemy tomorrow,
The human mind is deceitful
Who can read it?
The game of back-stabbing is on
So painful to behold,
Appearing a little below suicide
That is today’s world.
Let the good align
Conscript and change the paradigm of the bad.
Together, envisage peace,
Newness to the world.
Continental alignments on issues,
Issues so germane and fruitful,
Tailored to usher in amazing sanity,
Sanity to the world.
Are you a terrorist?
The world needs you.
Drop the toga of terrorism,
Let us become friends.
Warm and enduring friendship,
Above color or race,
Perfectly aligned,
It is possible.
Away with suicidal inclinations,
You are too precious to waste.
The world needs you,
A true love indeed.
Arise and shine,
Amazing realignments!
Bring peace to the world.
We need each other.
The Cat and Dog
The attributes are similar,
Same ancestors,
Differ in size and nutrition.
Could be friends.
Why not unite?
You can’t win all of the time.
Win some, lose some,
The world goes round.
Atmosphere, big enough for all,
Why undue rivalry?
A rivalry like no other,
A silly concept.
Cat and Dog could be beneficial.
Enough space to hibernate
Sometimes, solitude is necessary,
You must respect the independence.
Encourage mutual existence.
Enough of hate speech,
Kills faster than bomb,
Don’t be mischievous.
The space is diverse
Mutual respect desirable,
Our focus is similar
But the route differs.
The journey may be rowdy.
Expectations are mutual.
Same goal
A room for understanding.
Differences should not divide us,
There is strength in diversity.
Expel hate speech
It benefits nobody.
Are you from a home of hate?
How does it affect you?
Terrible I suppose.
Learn the lessons.
Cat and Dog can coexist,
In a world full of freshness,
The space is big enough,
A win-win for both.
The height does not matter,
The size does not matter,
Our thoughts are similar.
United by a big heart.
Say no to brainwashing,
It incapacitates the gullible.
Our youths are victims,
Victims let loose.
Religion is personal
A right to practice,
Everyone has a right,
Let sanity prevail.
Rivalry unnecessary,
Absolutely costly,
A decimating factor,
Births the flow of blood.
We both win and lose,
Smiling and crying.
Two sides of a mouth,
Bigotry unlimited.
Did you create yourself?
Obviously a creature of another,
Your input is nil,
Why carry the banner?
Our thoughts, sometimes myopic,
Sometimes hilarious and egocentric,
Sometimes wicked,
Who will live forever?
Stupidity let loose,
Wisdom, a victim,
A victim too costly,
Who will help us?
Together we can survive,
Space large enough,
Let us respect each other,
Live and let live.
Sometimes, foolishness beckons.
Avoid it.
Desire wisdom,
It is profitable.
Regardless of your religion,
We must respect each other.
You will not live forever,
Be wise!
Push and Push
The cliff is near,
All eyes are opened.
Brainwashing and brainwashing,
Eyes opened but blind.
Horror, horror and horror everywhere,
Eyes opened but blind.
The blind becoming sighted,
The sighted becoming blind.
A role change indeed,
A journey to the gallows,
Worms rejoicing,
Food on arrival.
Prisoners full of regrets,
Wisdom on escape,
The journey is lonely,
Decimating the lazy.
The resourceful are full of wisdom.
Unnecessary push, leads to rebellion.
Rebellion too many,
Be resourceful.
You can push a wheelbarrow,
Surely, you are not one.
Say no to hypnotism,
Otherwise, you become a wheelbarrow.
Terrorists are like wheelbarrows,
Wheelbarrows lack brains.
Owner of push determines the destination,
You are not a wheelbarrow.
Chase a goat to a wall,
It turns to face you.
Terrorists should be better than goats,
Unfortunately, they enter the wall.
Who is wiser?
You are more than a goat.
You have a brain.
Allow no one to dehumanize you.
Push, push and push.
Must you surrender yourself!
You are not a goat.
And surely not a wheelbarrow.
Brace up my friend
The earth has a lot for you.
Discover it!
Do not waste your life.
Your future is pregnant with pleasantness.
Pleasantness so great,
Beyond your pushers,
A lot awaits you.
Drop the toga of terrorism,
Embrace peace and newness.
Give hope to the hopeless,
You were made for a purpose.
A purpose so distinct and clear,
Clearer than the mid-day sun,
Brighter than the stars,
An adventure on discovery.
Sometimes change unpalatable.
Uninformed, dislike it.
This is information age.
Amenable to change.
A change from terrorism to love,
A change from laziness to industry,
A change from black to white,
A change from sorrow to joy.
Go ahead; do the needful.
Surely you can!
Believe you can,
You will surely get there.
Say no to slave drivers,
You have a brain.
I know you do,
Go ahead and use it!
Your brain is bright,
Not to be pushed around.
Utilize its power,
You are born great.
Blow out terrorism light,
Yes you can!
You must!
The world needs peace.
You are a candidate for peace,
Your eyes show it.
You are too endowed to fail,
My dear, failure is not an option.
Hate Speech
A forerunner of pogrom and genocide,
Starts almost innocently,
Rapidly gathers momentum,
Momentum so catastrophic.
Open sore in people’s heart.
Speech widens sore.
Interactions increase it.
Terrorism buds.
Budding process so rapid,
Travels faster than light,
Picks up stones along its path,
Imminent death appears.
Hate speech, hate speech, hate speech,
How I wish I could banish you.
Instantly and instantly,
You do no good.
Old and young subscribing,
The world in a swamp,
Roof on the floor,
Floor has become roof.
Madness released in phases,
Phases so rapid,
Momentum gaining acceptance,
Acceptance leading to death.
Pogrom and genocide unfold,
Little paths turn red.
Red grows rapidly,
Deaths everywhere.
Who will stop the tide?
The sea is mighty.
Accommodating the whales,
A home for the sea lions.
Along its path,
Harvest of sorrow and death,
Who will stop the tide?
Oh! Hate speech.
Behold the evil,
Evil beyond evil,
Yet so cruel,
Brothers in battle.
Battle beyond recompense,
Madness unleashed.
Terrorists at work,
Mother Nature, where are you?
What happened to education?
Educated illiterates everywhere,
Their society is blossoming,
So rapidly.
Hello! We need a paradigm shift,
Put a stop to hate speeches,
A killer of progress,
You are more than able.
Allow the humanity in you to blossom,
You are more than a caricature.
You are wonderfully made.
And uniquely endowed.
You are more than a drift wood,
Floating on a wave-less tide,
Put on your thinking cap,
You are wonderfully made.
Who benefits from hate speech?
Ultimately, no one does.
Practically, we all lose,
Dust away the madness!
Let us mend the fence,
Stop the hate.
It is more deadly than bomb,
Don’t doubt the potency.
The experience of our forebears,
Fresh in our memories,
What are the lessons learnt?
No one cares.
Yet the atmosphere is deserted,
Deserted by the good,
The bad reigns,
An Irony indeed.
Exit hate speech,
The way to go,
We need peace,
Let’s join hands.
Stop cultivating terrorism,
You achieve it through hate speech,
Promise you will stop,
You are able.
Poor Parenting
The forgotten has come back to hunt,
Mothers on holiday,
Fathers on holiday,
Nannies and housekeepers in charge.
Incompetence displayed,
Half - baked at best.
Children with no choice,
Pediatricians needed.
Parents on holiday,
Children sedated,
Hope almost lost,
Who will recue the children?
Swapped role,
Smart intention,
Ultimately foolish,
Parents on foreign land.
Harvest season will come,
When parents are old,
Depend on offspring.
A game of regret.
New ideas develop,
Propelled by Nannies and housekeepers,
A journey to backwardness,
A stop is better than now.
Enlightened swap roles,
In pursuit of future comfort,
So it seems,
But the mouse in charge.
The wise are now foolish,
Abandon their role
Helpless offspring,
Condemned to the swamp.
Swamp, swamp, swamp everywhere,
Oxygen is becoming extinct,
Living becomes difficult,
A rowdy journey.
Swamp products polluting the world.
A ready tool for terror,
Failure of wisdom indeed,
Guilty parents.
Cares of the world overwhelms,
A costly attraction to behold,
No escape for pleasure
The ditch gaining grounds.
Responsibilities adjudicated,
Repercussions so devastating,
Songs of regrets everywhere,
Tragedy beckons.
How are the mighty fallen,
Morning jobs at night.
Night jobs postponed,
Nature abhors a vacuum.
If you don’t act, someone will do,
Actors outside your control,
Tragedy precursors,
Bombs are ready.
Culpable parents everywhere,
They bury their heads in shame.
Days have turned to Nights
Endless Nights.
Darkness everywhere,
Mother Nature, where are you?
Songs of regrets everywhere,
Even the birds are singing.
Terrorism has polluted the space,
Some parents are culpable.
Guilty of abandonment,
Abandoned their responsibilities.
As you make your bed,
So you will lie on it.
No room for magic,
The now is full of regrets.
If you have destroyed today,
Tomorrow is available.
You must make swift amends,
Wisdom in action.
Action, action and action,
Re-invent the past.
Responsible parenting,
Parenting so good.
Say no to responsibility abandonment,
Give birth and be responsible.
No one cares but you,
You are a game changer.
Abandoned Project
Procrastination and procrastination
The now is postponed!
The future on hold,
A moving world.
Time awaits no one,
The world at a peril,
Human actions on stage,
Nature inpatient to wait.
The drummers are active,
The atmosphere is turbulent.
The sea is restless,
Pregnancy on fire.
A little to the right,
Halt way; change of thought.
Confusion sets in,
Nature, too fast to wait.
No one is satisfied,
A taste of everything,
The order of the moment,
Abandoned projects everywhere.
Start and complete,
Only in a dream world,
Divorce, a daily occurrence,
Abandoned projects everywhere.
Taste and drop,
A daily occurrence,
We all want newness,
No one is satisfied.
Everyone is restless,
Patience at a crossroad,
Always lonely,
No one to befriend.
The world wants instant results.
Perseverance, a scarce commodity,
The toothless wants to chew.
A laborious journey.
Magicians, magicians and magicians,
Magic lovers everywhere,
No one wants to work,
The end, a game of chance.
Terrorists befriend impatience,
Their idea must prevail,
Blood must flow,
Everywhere turns red.
A friend today, a foe tomorrow,
The merchants are corrupted.
Promiscuity – the father of today,
A terrorist game.
The time has come,
Every hand on deck,
A sacrifice for all,
Say no to terrorism.
Terrorism must be orphaned,
It is needless,
Stop the horror,
Life is precious.
Regardless of color,
Regardless of race,
Regardless of tribe,
Regardless of nationality.
The blood, a common denominator,
Always red,
Is yours blue?
Or black?
Why spill the leveler?
Say no to terrorism,
Abandon it!
A mission to be accomplished.
Who benefits from terrorism?
A benefit so temporal,
The crime is hideous.
The truth is – the benefit is madness.
Are you mad?
Who will cure the mad?
Can the mad cure the mad?
Everyone must not be mad.
In today’s world,
A consciousness is budding.
If there is the need to abandon a project,
Terrorism is a worthy candidate!
Tell yourself that you can!
Convince your peers,
Be resolute,
The result is peace!
Blotted Ambition
An ambition so cruel,
An ambition so rabid,
An ambition so devastating,
The terrorist ambition.
Blow them up,
Young and old,
Blow them up,
The horror unfolds.
Darkness, darkness and darkness,
In the country of the deaf,
Deafness associated with bomb,
The red everywhere.
An ambition so blinding,
The blind, leading the blind,
Eyed mortals hibernating,
A harvest of snow.
Forced to stay indoors,
The day is becoming old.
Yet sweeter than yesterday,
An escape from the bombs.
The plotters at their game,
Recruiting and training,
Brainwashing ongoing,
Captives are eating.
A game of no return,
Freedom today, captivity tomorrow,
A cause for concern,
A shadow let loose.
Deep within the closet,
Future mongers resonate.
A cause for concern,
We must survive.
The future is near,
Yet so far,
An amazing discovery,
Open for negotiations.
The young and old,
Yet breathing,
A breath full of hiccups,
Mother Nature, where are you?
The time has come,
A time to act,
Blot out the terrorists,
A new song in our mouths.
Stop the recruitments,
Stop the anger,
Stop the hunger,
Stop the backers,
The future is now,
The young is happy,
The old are happy,
We all win.
Who benefits from terror?
Only the mad,
Are you mad?
Only you can tell.
Depart from futility,
Embrace peace,
Embrace productivity,
Embrace newness.
Release the handshake,
Across the sea,
Beyond race and color
Unified by blood.
One world, amazing beauty,
Sweet to behold,
Away with terrorism,
No license for madness.
Psychiatrists must wake up,
Patients everywhere,
Services exploding,
Psychiatrists needed!
Terrorist doctors needed,
Sanity must prevail.
No one has a right to terrorism.
Madness is seasonal.
Join the army,
Army of peace lovers,
Recruitment is open,
Welcome on board.
Jointly, let us arise,
To do the needful,
Kill terrorism.
Extend the handshake.
Terrorist Inclinations
The budding apparently innocent,
Hijackers’ visits,
Carrots presented,
Conscriptions achieved.
Real future hibernates,
To open at tail end,
The present is asleep,
Waiting game unfolds.
Authorities asleep,
The night falls suddenly.
Darkness unexpected,
Light extinguished.
Dream world unfolds,
Budding issues becoming clear,
Too cold for comfort,
Mouth agape.
Dark sun on horizon,
Moon absent,
Rodents active,
Humans hibernating.
Babies and mothers,
Girls and mothers,
Sons and fathers,
All and sundry.
Foolishness finds an ally,
Begotten of same,
Repeat of hallucinations,
Bottom appears endless.
Mother Nature unfolds,
Putrefied thoughts arising,
Cacophony of interloping thoughts,
Living in a fool’s paradise.
What have we sown?
Child upbringing neglected,
Shifting the blame,
Reaping terror.
Terror and the terrified,
Amazing companions,
Who will separate them?
The truth, the truth, the truth.
Lies, gaining more grounds,
Mother Nature opens her mouth,
Who made these ones?
We must drain the swamp.
The afflicted cry for freedom,
Mother Nature shedding tears,
Blinding tears,
Morning turns to Night.
Allowed for too long,
The youth on board,
Take it away from them,
A herculean task indeed.
Who is thinking about it?
You, me and others!
How many are sane?
Probably a minority.
How did we get here?
Everyone passing the bulk,
Between the egg and chick,
Which is older.
Wasteful arguments everywhere,
Ignorance blossoms,
Multiple roads to follow,
Confusion everywhere.
A problem for the foundation,
Culpable negligence indicated,
Everyone shifting the blame,
No one is guilty.
How long shall it continue?
Mother Nature beckons.
The tears are becoming red,
Towering red indeed.
Death appearing more profitable,
Suicide becoming popular,
Hypnotism everywhere,
Who will rescue the world?
Between peace, war and death,
Which is desirable?
The sane will choose peace,
The other prefers war and death.
Between the divide,
Identify your location.
Are you a problem?
Let us embrace peace.
Sheathe the Sword
How long will a man live on earth?
Probably two hundred years.
How many will get there?
Probably none.
The world is full of hate,
Hatred so unnecessary,
Mother against daughter,
Father against son.
Oh! Things have fallen apart,
The centre is troubled,
Troubled by trouble,
A rock in the cup.
Violence everywhere,
Negotiations becoming a mirage,
Action before reason,
What a world.
Why the unnecessary show of force,
A force to be left behind,
The ranting of an ant,
Absolute vanity.
How long will a man live on earth?
Certainly not forever,
Why resort to violence?
At the slightest provocation.
Enough of endless wars,
Stop the madness,
Man’s inhumanity to man,
An unnecessary enterprise.
We give rise to rebellions,
Rebellions so deep and unnecessary,
If only we know,
All will be left behind.
Why the show of force?
Instead of negotiated settlement,
Why the hate speech?
Instead of sound reasoning.
We can make the world better,
By our actions,
Actions so germane,
For the good of all.
Are you involved in a fight?
My friend, sheathe the sword,
Has someone provoked you?
Negotiated peace is advisable.
Away with unnecessary show of force,
Anger induced force,
Wasted effort,
Zero enterprise.
You are more than able,
To reason before action,
Examine the options,
The best way forward.
The world needs peace,
Peace is sacrosanct,
If development must occur,
Embrace peace.
Let the young and old,
Buy this ideology,
An ideology so enriching,
Reawakens the world.
A reawakening so pleasant,
Pleasant to behold,
The language of love,
Love for everyone.
An appeal to terrorists,
You are fighting a lost battle,
A battle so fruitless,
A waste of energy.
Needed energy is expended,
So wastefully,
Why are you so negative?
Be Positive!
You are a product of love,
Love to the world,
Yet you practice hate,
Where did you school?
The ones who taught you,
Are not ready to die,
Neither are their children ready to die,
Why you?
Who is fooling who?
A question for the gods,
Peace is desirable.
Say no to terrorism.
Boko Haram
The penchant for power,
A noble objective for some,
A do or die for others.
Selfishness at play.
The interest is critical,
It snowballs into a force,
A force so brutal and corrupt,
A note for our values.
Youths on rampage,
Used by politicians.
To secure power at all cost,
Power arrives, mission accomplished.
Youth appetite germinates,
Blossoms so rapidly,
Taste buds erupt,
Too good to jettison.
Politicians in position,
Enjoying the spoils of office,
The ladder is forgotten,
But ultimately resurrects.
Ladder wants spoils of office,
Good for you, good for me.
Politicians not ready for charity,
Charity too costly.
Ladder discovers another option,
Option so endowed,
Weapons of destruction available,
Utility beckons.
Weapons directed at politicians,
Politicians employ force,
Force so deceptive and wicked,
A game for the masters.
Ladder clings to religion,
The opium of the people,
Emotions rapidly deployed,
Western education becomes an abomination.
The brainwashed at their game,
The uneducated are recruited,
Educated employ bigotry,
Humanity in the valley.
Religion, upside down,
Walking on its head,
Madness a reality,
The youths are learning.
Energy erupts in disbelief,
Finds a terrible use,
Use so despicable,
The body is aroused.
Kidnap the school girls,
Use them to fortify energy,
Youthful energy on the rise,
Wickedness let loose.
The kidnapped are brainwashed,
A cycle so disgusting,
The girls lower their opposition,
An opposition to nothingness.
They rapidly appreciate their captors,
Captors in terrorist uniform,
Terrorist and terrorist,
Monsters of our time.
A creation of politicians,
A product of the politically-naïve,
A sequence of selfishness,
Selfishness so disgusting.
Hell is let loose,
Heaven on the floor,
The absurd on rampage,
Everywhere on embrace.
Politicians cannot sleep,
The ladder cannot sleep,
Ladders are terrorists,
A product of the political class.
Cheat the masses,
Reap depressed anger,
Anger so cruel,
Wickedness on rampage.
For Boko Haram,
Western education is abominable,
Yet use western weapons,
Who is fooling who?
Their communication gadgets are western,
Cloths are western,
Who is fooling who?
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
The Bigot
Selfishness on rampage,
Self-interest so horrible,
Wants to remain atop,
Atop of fools.
An interest buried but alive,
Hidden from fools,
The wise not deceived,
A game for the masters.
Spoils of office implicated,
Brainwashing becomes a ready tool,
A tool so easily deployed,
Captives everywhere.
Opium of the people,
Murder let loose,
No bigot wants to die.
Death, only for fools.
The brainwashed are fools,
Fools recruiting fools,
Bigots at their game,
A game of self-interest.
Spoils of bigotry enticing,
Not ready to let go,
Cultivating family tree,
A show of interest.
Employ others to fight,
A battle of the mouth,
Equip the terrorists,
To carry out your agenda.
An agenda for fools,
You live in mansions,
Your recruits on mountains and forests,
You sleep on luxury beds.
Fools without brains,
Caricatures let loose,
Cotton wools inside their skulls,
Jelly skulls.
Religious bigots,
Inhabit hallowed buildings,
Pregnant offices,
To propagate self - interest.
The fools on errand,
Errand so disgusting,
Available for the brainless,
Products of brainwashing.
Today’s youths, becoming targets,
Deadly baits everywhere,
Products of religious bigots,
Who will save us from them?
The opium of the people,
So readily employed,
Emotions on the rise,
Too strong to retard.
Indoctrination, a ready tool,
A tool masterfully utilized,
Everyone is a victim,
Victims on the rise.
Fire let loose,
Everywhere in disarray
Emptiness appearing full,
Hallucinations on front burner.
Bigots smile to the banks,
Their offspring manage the banks,
Custodians of family heritage,
The fools are shut out.
Dogs on the streets,
Products of bigotry,
To provide for bigots,
A job for the dogs.
Bones, for the dogs,
A provision easily released,
To maintain the status,
A status so cruel.
Bigotry and terrorism,
Like five and six,
One leads to the other,
Great lesson learned.
Say no to religious bigotry,
It recruits terrorists,
A promoter of hate,
A conveyor of death.
Bigots are no friends,
Say no to them,
United we stand,
Peace is good.
Deaf and Dumb
Cannot hear, cannot speak,
A strange world,
A world on its own,
No one likes it.
Two calamities so devastating,
At the precipice of anger,
Anger easily let loose,
A call for sympathy.
Speak and be heard,
Not for the dumb.
A football referee,
Not for the deaf.
A world of mischief,
Mischief of the able,
Undermining the disabled,
Too bad to be true.
A harbinger of death,
Death undefined,
If you cannot beat them,
Then, you join them.
A saying sometimes cruel,
Left at middle of road,
The road to oblivion,
Away on discovery.
The deaf and dumb,
A candidate for sympathy,
Sympathy sometimes defined,
Projected by self - interest.
A world full of darkness,
Finds relevance in colleagues,
Colleagues so sympathetic,
Friendliness, a show business.
The able, looking forlorn,
Another world implicated,
A world full of deceit,
Deceit rules their world.
Sympathy is out of window,
An orphan overnight,
The cold becomes extreme,
No one to rescue.
An object of sympathy,
Graduates to hate,
The animal in us all,
Allowed to blossom.
Everyone for himself,
The air for us all,
The food for the strong,
The impoverished are conquered.
The deaf, the deaf, the deaf,
The dumb, the dumb, the dumb,
Some acquire it,
Some are born with it.
The divide is frightening,
Yet, they are comrades.
Comrades in arms,
Arms of destruction.
Some mimic the deaf and dumb,
Cinema houses implicated,
A temporal madness,
Madness smoothly defined.
A world in a world,
Untold hardships resonates,
Blossoms like the air,
Mutation implicated.
The deaf and dumb are like terrorists,
Understands the “go language,”
Too late to retreat,
Whistle belongs to the referee.
Deaf terrorists everywhere,
Dumb terrorists everywhere,
Products of us all,
Your actions and inactions.
No one love to be one,
A world so wicked and cruel,
Good for the insane,
The sane becoming insane.
Eyes opened but blind,
Difficult to unravel,
Action is necessary,
The wise holds the card.
Debrief the deaf,
Debrief the dumb,
Drain the swamp,
Away from swamp life.
Dark Alley
The nails face the sky,
Humans atop nails,
Everyone is crying,
Tears on the roads.
Sea of tears unfold,
Blood appears intermittently,
A flow of sorrow, tears and blood,
A recurring decimal.
The terrorists appear and disappear,
Too cold for comfort,
A comfort in disarray,
An endless journey.
The prediction is grave,
Darkness, darkness and darkness,
Narrowness, narrowness and narrowness,
A name for two.
No one is satisfied,
The terrorist unsatisfied,
The target unsatisfied,
No one is neutral.
The sane are found culpable,
Sleeping on duty,
An occurrence too strange,
The absurd in control.
Bomb blasts everywhere,
Our livelihood in limbo,
Catastrophe on mountain tops,
Nowhere to hide.
Chemical weapons everywhere,
Religious bigots implicated,
The centre becomes strange,
An occurrence so familiar.
Our morning has turn to night,
The night is now morning,
Roles appearing and disappearing,
Too late to predict.
The terrorist is schooled,
Schooled in terrorism,
A brain like an animal,
So happy with the result.
A result so cruel,
Body parts for sale,
An expensive enterprise,
No one can buy.
Wasteful enterprise,
The morning is wasted,
The noon is wasted,
The night is same.
The sane wish it’s a dream,
Time to wake up is now,
Everyone is involved,
Newness to the world.
Young, old and the vibrant,
Engage your thinking cap,
Your eyes are open,
Let us act in unison.
Terrorism is a monster,
A monster among monsters,
Death sentence implicated,
Never to rise again.
Collectively we can,
Turn the black to white,
The narrow to wide,
Smiles everywhere.
Peace is friendly,
Beneficial and pleasant,
The sane at home,
The insane seek escape.
Release the positive,
Flood the earth with it,
Nothing but positive,
Failure, not an option.
Say no to terrorism,
Too bad for comfort,
We need peace,
We must advance positively.
Let like minds arise,
Positive like minds,
Replenish the earth,
Extinguish terrorism.
A call, good and desirable,
Peaceful advancement implicated,
Freshness and newness – our goal,
A goal so splendid and right.
The Hut
The environment is green,
Ashes dancing on the floor,
Red particles litter the ground,
A semblance or red and green.
A standard thatch roof,
Sits atop the visitors head,
An undulating scenario,
Absolutely unpredictable.
A sea of people,
Moving like a mirage,
Cold, warm and hot,
Behold the warrior.
A surreptitious warrior,
An under- water general,
Appearing so innocent,
A virgin in maternity ward.
The virgin and childbirth,
On another divide,
Natural divide beckons,
Too obvious for all.
The drummers appear,
Like cremated entities,
Talking drums vibrating,
Movements for the back side.
Vibrations too dangerous,
Dangerous for the owners,
Pain killers available,
A sure way to go
The belly rebels,
A rebellion so natural,
Body fluids resonate,
War is imminent.
The weather changes abruptly,
Sun appears in the horizon,
The mind prefers a rainbow,
War in the horizon.
Confusion, confusion and confusion,
Discomfort everywhere,
Smiling and hurting,
A fake world.
Emancipation erupts,
Freedom is desired,
Town crier is recruited,
Salary so paltry.
The planting season, almost over,
Waiting game so natural,
The hunch back and the pregnant,
Both carry a load.
One is expectant,
The other is forlorn,
A mixed reaction,
Product of Mother Nature.
Between the terrorist and you,
Who owns the backside?
Who owns the belly?
Who is the Virgin?
The drones appear,
Tracks the drummers,
Tracks the hut,
The mountains are many.
Camouflage everywhere,
Landmines flourishing,
Nowhere is safe,
The drones inclusive.
The world in disarray,
Product of our inaction,
An amazing discovery,
Mouths permanently opened.
Between modernity and the hut,
Which do you prefer?
Terrorists prefer the hut,
The sane embrace modernity.
How can we cohabit?
Cohabitation so disgusting,
Between the Snake and the Eagle,
Make your choice.
Terrorists prefer the Snake,
The sane choose the Eagle,
There is wisdom in flying,
Wisdom on top.
Away with the hut,
Away with seclusion,
Embrace a green-life,
Say no to terrorism.
The Ambush
The old windy road,
A hybrid of desolation,
Everything is sparse,
A cry for habitation.
Three dogs embark on a journey,
A journey through the forlorn habitation,
Boldness is required,
Nothing interesting.
Willy-nilly, we go,
To rescue a colleague,
A colleague so dear,
Blood is thicker than water.
The present is uninteresting,
Hunger in the land,
Stay behind; we die,
Rescue a colleague – a game of chance.
We are better than others,
On a forward journey,
We are indeed enthused,
A colleague in danger.
The hunger is below the belt,
We have a job to do,
Ahead we must go,
Journey to fruitfulness.
Back to life,
The distance looks appalling,
Yet we must proceed,
Forward ever, backward never.
As expected,
Mines are envisaged,
Journey becomes rather slow,
Survival, our goal.
We left in one piece,
Must return in one piece,
Hope, a driving force,
A win-win at the corner.
