Let us use the pot of sense …to go fetch the river of knowledge …for the dreaded visitor called relativity …is coming with his trick sticks …anuanom II A chicken caught in the evil forest …and kept under the umbrella of an armpit …might be a lucky one no matter the dancing heat …and aromatic […]

Obvious waves Travelling from far caves You give chills which lift no finger to save II Visions of your opened mouth Visions of your furious face Thoughts of your final blows Shake my body into jerks III So sail slow, oh vicious waves! Smile small, oh angry waves Seal your mouth, oh taunting waves And […]

UNDER THE SUN
Under the sun There should be no ban No ban so none will run To stand all trials under the sun I do know everyone can So be a great fan Of the sun And let freedom stand Like a soldier For all

FREE THE BIRD (HAIKU)
The bird cries at night Begging for more humane rights To fly like a kite Yes fly like a kite When the sun is shining bright To feel the cool breeze It is so glaring That guns thirst for its poor blood When the sun […]

MADLY INSANE
Every one thinks him mad Like a story told from days of old The tellers believe it And so does the told So the mad thinks the sane mad And the sane thinks himself mad In the presence of the mad. Who has the eyes to see? The dunce dances As the mad […]
The fish farmer feeds the fishes In a polluted sticky pond Forcing their minds into gratefulness Until maturity feature them Their eyes then peep Through the forbidden hole The one the farmer warned Against looking let alone passing through There is that liberty which dawns A moment of thought sends them through They […]
