Town Crier
Town Crier
Our paths parted seventy and a thousand years back
I call you to witness; brother’s keepers, lovers of wealth and brother’s killers.
You too, wrecked ships and innocent lives lost in these seas.
Iron ballast blocks counterbalancing weights of enslaved souls.
Shackles In rusty coils
Piercing through naïve skins-
You saw us come and go; Do not keep quiet now.
Graded into three: To colour, To wealth, To politics.
Or even four: To religion.
Propaganda tactics running on fingertips
Money roots held tightly by villains
Juiced out of the blood of innocent souls.
Hunters of wildfires in a dry vast land of religious principles
Now, an inguinal hernia
In society’s groin.
To colour?
We held on to you with dignity!
And gave us the strength to breathe.
The beauty of the shades of hue
Adorned on us
And shone like a bright morning star.
A brighter future beyond the horizon is all we seek.
But for racism?
Will this ever end?
The fight against racism
Is no ordinary playground.
It is a crown of thorns
Yet yields glory
On the Victor’s podium.
It starts with you, and me.
I may be black, you may be white.
But,
How are we now?
And what have we now?

THE OTHER WORLD OF LIGHT
THE OTHER WORLD OF LIGHT.
Drip, drops, slips, low the crops
The dew refracts the rays of the yellow morning glory,
It sips, sucks, flips, then it flaps
Soak in the vibrations of the humming bird and the tulip story.
Feel the vertical grasses sway in patterns to the changing winds.
And the dandelion flowers dancing a spinning salsa to the airs.
The ants march in parade to the leaking nectar from the flamboyant.
And quietly listen to the Opera of lingual birds singing in resonance,
Whispering..
Sea, son, season, re – son, reason.
Witnessing the trees echo their calming frequencies of pitch
Through the living woods, through the pinna of the impala’s reach
Feed your soul, where your inner energy pays attention with no currency.
Let the carpeting waves of the cold oceans touch your soles
And allow your worries be nulled by the soothing sweeping breeze
Close thy sight and listen to the voices of her cools reach your poles
It is through this medium she’ll make your inner problems freeze
Gift her a package of your sorrows, and she’d transport you to peace
And the rubs of her sideways coconut strands shall sing you a rattle song.
Nature is calling you on a beam to find your balance
She welcomes you with drumming of rain drops to the soils
There’s enough energy for you in the capsules of her Universe
Open your mind, open your soul,
unlock your conscience, unleash your intuition,avail your spirits
Of light and darkness blends the keys to your living mortals
Embrace them both and receive enlightenment from the parallel portals,
Of the stars, and the black holes, and the milky way, and all comets,
Channel your energies and glide through its laws attraction.
In the sounds of silence…..
Meditate…
