Uncertain times ( Haiku)
Gripped with fear and hope
I wobble on a tight rope
Circus of life , I cope .
I wobble on a tight rope
Circus of life , I cope .

The Holy Hit
The holy hit
The dark gloomy street
Ignited memories bittersweet
My heart skipped a beat
As a stranger popped out
From the backseat
Hello dear do not fear
Greetings from your pal
of yesteryear, travelled a
Light year to present you
The treasured elixir
Scorn your sorrow
There’s no tomorrow
Drop your wit
the evil writ
The so-called sanctioned shit
Into the infinite pit
For it’s time to take
The Holy Hit .
The dark gloomy street
Ignited memories bittersweet
My heart skipped a beat
As a stranger popped out
From the backseat
Hello dear do not fear
Greetings from your pal
of yesteryear, travelled a
Light year to present you
The treasured elixir
Scorn your sorrow
There’s no tomorrow
Drop your wit
the evil writ
The so-called sanctioned shit
Into the infinite pit
For it’s time to take
The Holy Hit .

Hey they call me John
They call me John
There was no need
For me to speed
How could I not
I am the fast breed
High on some gin
We went on a spin
With me at the wheel
We were bound to win
For my lil homies
I am the
kingpin
At the crack
of dawn
When the world
Was gone
Crazy speed
With Loud music on
We zoomed upon
Big big tyres
Burning on
hello people
They call me
John

Winning the race
An oldie appeared
With out a trace
Lost my...

Oh so blue
Oh so blue
I feel so blue
Struck a discordant tune
Please ,let me
Steal
A little music
From you
Empty thoughts
In a colourless hue
Please, let me
steal
A little glow
From you
I creep and crawl
Try to get through
Please ,let me
Steal
A little gait
From you
Stuck in darkness
Forever I rue
Please ,let me
steal
A little light
From you
Death my only solace
Will surely come true
In the meantime
Please, let me ...

The Cooks
(Inspired by " we real cool "
by Gwendolyn Brooks )
The Cooks
We poor cooks, we
Read no books, we
Cook food, we
ain't shrewd, we
Stand long, we
Sing song , we
Stir & fry , we
Seldom cry , we
Roast & smoke , we
Stay broke , we
Burn skin , we
Rot within , we
Work with fire , we
Never tire ,
Until .
We
Hit the pyre .

Hello mother
Hello Mother
Do not bother,
It's been a while,
You've worn a smile,
Your life, a never ending
Trial,
It's time to cheer,
The end is near,
& there's nothing
to fear.
Hello Mother
This is your son,
Since life took a turn,
Have been on the run,
Sporting a gun,
Sorry mother,
I let your heart burn.
Hello Mother
I was born to
Be wild,
Never a child ,
Mesmerised & beguiled
Struggled & survived
In this phoney world
So real wild.
Hello Mother ...

Hey Acidman
Acid man , acid man
Spare a drop
For me,
Am trapped in
This tree,
Set me
Free,
Set me
Free.
Acid man, acid man
Set me in
Motion,
Gimme a drop of this
Potion &
Let me swallow
The ocean.
Acid man , acid man
A victim of
wisdom,
Yearning for
Freedom,
Bleeding &
Beaten
In this garden
Of Eden
By the
God faced Demon
Acid man , acid man
Kill the pain
Break the chain
Blast the brain
Let it rain &
Turn me...
Spare a drop
For me,
Am trapped in
This tree,

The Ilusion
I still remember, the
Fatal blow.
The falling curtains, the
End of the show.
Can't tell, if it was a
Friend or a foe,
Embraced the night, a
Long time ago.
The promise of light is an
Acidic slur,
It's memory a
Noisy blur,
Confounds you in
Dreary fear.
The end of confusion is a
Foregone conclusion,
The reality of truth is a
Shocking illusion.
Fatal blow.
The falling curtains, the
End of the show.
Can't tell, if it was a
Friend or a foe,

It's memory a
Noisy blur,
Confounds you in
Dreary fear.
The end of confusion is a
Foregone conclusion,
The reality of truth is a
Shocking illusion.

Helter skelter
A baron bought a swanky mansion
Threw a party
for the highborn
and the glitterati
The guests were on cloud nine
having caviar and wine
While they were having a ball
A shadowy figure scaled the wall
A strange body odour annoyed
the terrier and the rottweiler
Three guards and an officer
were bludgeoned by the intruder
The celebration reached it's crescendo
The intruder barged in thru the windo
As he swung his sledgehammer
the house was gripped with clamour
While he hammered the wall
of the main hall
The cops arrived...

Prisoner
Beneath the deep underground
Away from your merry-go-round
Lies a cosmos unfound
Sitting on the fence
your journey won't commence
You're caught in the maze
of ideas and concepts
Your pains are self invented
and your sorrows concocted
Imprisoned in your kingdom
you romanticise freedom
You indulge in self pity
You're obsessed with yourself
Fettered by your thoughts
Forever you crawl
Lose yourself
Take the plunge
Break the wall
The journey to the cosmos
is a free fall.
Away from your merry-go-round
Lies a cosmos unfound
Sitting on the fence
your journey won't commence
You're caught in the maze
of ideas and concepts
Your pains are self invented
and your sorrows concocted
Imprisoned in your kingdom
you romanticise freedom
You indulge in self pity
You're obsessed with yourself
Fettered by your thoughts
Forever you crawl
Lose yourself
Take the plunge
Break the wall
The journey to the cosmos
is a free fall.

Hey Mr Shepherd
Hey mr Shepherd
The chosen one
You feed us your sermon
to weave up an illusion
Don't stare into my eyes
I will expose your lies
You promise the holy land
your torture we withstand
Our heads to the ground
petrified by your hounds
You protect us from the predators
and lead us to the abbattoirs
You skin us alive
You feast on our meat
All I have to say
The predator too is the prey
You fail to realise
you are being devoured alive
Surely someday you will die
In the grave as you lay
It will be the maggot's field...

No purpose
You bind me to your culture
I am a creation of nature
You give me a name and
forever you shame.
You force me to school
You impose your rule
I am sick of your religion
I despise your tradition
Your morals are bogus
I am out of your radius
Born to fade into oblivion
I have no purpose
I am a fungus.

I have no purpose
