There are days rays die before their birthsThere are days suns fall before their deathsThere are days clouds form to block a shineThere are days thunders rage in a horrid whineWhen those days dawnKnow our hardwork can push for brightness to be born IISo let no failing rains drain our spiritsLet the tests of time […]

As hands of dawn open the rest cage Do consider this queer adage That hands won’t feed if there be no work And like the wisest version of Ananse Build us into a harvesting web II We are hens In worldly dens We are cocks Between some rocks We are comfortable tourists Who are blessed […]
Dear rains Weed the clouds And form a clear path in my sky I need its lovely blue To stay strong III Dear lightenings Shut the loud mouths Of your thunders To stop their roarings like hungry tigers My ears plead for peace III Dear Moon Appear like a knight And clear the dark To […]
A death and a birth Sorrowful happiness hang like a cross and a hope The dead year not being given a death bed In the jurisdiction of the new born Its death chained by unfulfilled dreams And banished into the evil forest archives of failure Never to return ever II Harsh words are not said […]

When I lie awake in tears And my heart speaks in only fears Like a soldier without weapons at the war front, I bow my head in my head and think of bolting from the human front When stories are told of the meek And eyes look down on the weak Like a grass […]
When you lie in your bed to sleep Do not weep No matter how deep pains seep For there is that space you keep That many are dying to have and keep You matter You might not know but your existence is keeping someone from self slaughter Sleep well Sleep like a baby Sleep thinking […]
