Nothing ever suffices,
In fact, all fall short,
Constant, unrelenting demand,
For this, this and that, and that!

Root of all evils,
Genesis of all wars,
Origin of all maleficence,
Beginning of all ends.

Every bad thing is traceable to greed.

JOBLESS MUSINGS (2).

Lying on my hands,
The uselessness of it all,
Planting in the fall,
Reaping from flooded lands.

JOBLESS MUSINGS. (1)

In the days boredom tucked me in,
And all I was busy with was laziness,
Many visions visited my idleness,
And innovations, today, I'd already seen.

THE END WELCOMES A BEGINNING.

Give love to family,
And cheer those that aren't,
Make merry all, together, happily,
Offer peace to them that can't.

You can only do so much.

CUT! THE APRON STRINGS.

For nine moons and more,
This umbilical connected us,
You, I worshipped with heavenly adore,
Yet, our ways must part thus;

And you must find it,
In your beautiful heart,
Not to feel envy's heat,
But to welcome this new start;

I am a man now,
With a beautiful wife,
A girl and boy,
I'll turn forty in this life,
I, no longer, am your very good toy.

Many mothers find it extremely hard to let go of their sons, even after these boys get married, have children and grey hair!

Mothers, we love you, but we have our own lives to lead now.

ATTITUDE.

I welcome failure,
Like I bid a departure,
It's always not intriguing,
Until success comes begging.

BLACKENED.

Whence art thine brownskin cast?
Down to the pits of ignominy and scorn,
Isn't thine form after the divine's?
And portions of glory adorning thine existence?

So, why play the fool,
To they that once were savage,
Whose history is replete with blood,
And orgied in the corpses of hunched maidens?

The black race has become the scorn of the earth. Yet when we research history, we find those that crossed the oceans with imports of foreign deceptions, had worse history of barbarism, cannibalism & fetishes only best imagined.

Whereas in the days before Christ, black people had universities where other races came for knowledge acquisition.

Wake up black people!
