Wakanda 2 Zamunda
You're so angelic that you should be donning a pair of wings
In the meantime, in between time, please accept this ring
As Yohan melodically sings, "She's Your Queen To Be"
Cause I want you to spend forever and a lifetime with me
On bended knee, I'm asking for your hand in marriage
Waiting patiently outside for us is a horse and carriage
You just have to say yes as the song suggests by Floetry
Riding off into the sunset will be you, me, and my poetry
An unstoppable trinity that'll always be as thick as thieves
Eventually adding some...

Tethered To Nether
Your mind's been assimilated and that's assassinated your will to be free
Cerebrally castrated and emasculated by what you constantly see on T.V.
Murder in the first degree without ubiety; deteriorating your inner strength
Causing your energy to quickly crossover into a different wavelength
Sending your consciousness into the abyss of the nether regions
No longer wanting to see reality through sobriety's visions
Making the decision that dissonance is as bliss as ignorance
Frustration's got you contemplating copulation as a defense
...

The Land Called Africa
Oh Lord, I want to go back where I’m from before my hair turns grey
Every day I think of my beautiful homeland that lies far away from here
I miss the foggy mountains, the wide rivers, and the sunny fields
My heart preserves the memories of the peaceful days of long ago
And someday I’ll return to the place of my origin, the land called Africa
Every day I think of my beautiful homeland that lies far away from here
I miss the foggy mountains, the wide rivers, and the sunny fields
My heart preserves the memories of the peaceful days of long ago
And someday I’ll return to the place of my origin, the land called Africa

My Views 4
The fools who are leading us do not know their heritage.
Our forefathers fought to liberate themselves from forced labour.
They killed the wicked slavers and burned down the Great Houses.
You honour some of them as National Heroes for their bravery,
Yet you are still preserving the Great houses that they despised.
The Great Houses belonged to the evil-minded British.
You foolishly regard the heritage of white people as your own.
Moreover, you teach this absolute garbage in your schools.
You display instruments of slavery in museums to make money. ...

RAKTAKARABI~ BLOOD OLEANDERS: From My Congolese Times… Towards The Light Of Liberation
I am her ‘Madaame’ Of Everything
ingrained in her rarity flashing ivory smiles
to her ever red rising simmering eyeful suns
in delicate armours of tearful hanging glistens
that she unfallibly holds within the kohl
black lashes that yearns to touch
skyhigh liberating flights
Yet, mellowed down rustic
earthen tones of perseverance
she heavily bears forevermore
as weighing down destiny.. in those
simplistic mellowly beaming rays
she sprightly blooms with…
her vivacious pagne’s striking...
ingrained in her rarity flashing ivory smiles
to her ever red rising simmering eyeful suns
in delicate armours of tearful hanging glistens
that she unfallibly holds within the kohl
black lashes that yearns to touch

earthen tones of perseverance
she heavily bears forevermore
as weighing down destiny.. in those

she sprightly blooms with…

Punctured Potter
there was a punctured potter
whose wills strained shuffled shudders
meagre muds moistened massive moans
dark traces drooled, gaunt glows
hoisted zeal hankered hampers:
eerie efforts pruned pulpy pesters
lanky labour leered, futility feigned lame
crushed contractions, callous confetti's crave
damp death drilled his plague
sumptuous suck, nosy nectar's crest
potter birthed a son,a generation then another son
whilst masticated malady mimicked, poring pawns
the keener he carved a shape,
soaring swifter contractors...

Ms. Faith Liberty
Imagine if Lady Liberty had African ancestry
The image of she may be viewed differently
A pic of consistent grief could be her reality
Due to her fallen sons & daughters in history
Even she may take a knee instead of a stand
A brand new example of a Kaepernick fan
A woman on the porch whose dropped her torch
Arms visibly weiry and now she needs support
Her heart broken like the promises of this land
She's no longer seeing any footprints in the sand
How can one stand when legs of Faith become weak?
Seek the...

Medusa The Seducer
You in that see through negligee made my day
Such an alluring aura that I just can't look away
Medusa the seducer, you're turning me into stone
The nether regions of my loins is hard as a bone
Gazing upon your coke bottled body has got me salivating
The mere image of your shadow is mesmerizing
Way you're standing effectively flaunts your curves
A sexy physique & I get a peek that I don't deserve
As I observe your melanin I'm realizing that I'm addicted to your hue
There are many shades of the African Queen; right now I'm...

Hatari!
Zoo's big game hunters,
Many Rhino accidents.
New photojournalist, Mama Tembo.
Frustrated, then love wins.

Xenophobia
blood to blood with blood
what a horrible image in Africa.
like sons of Kings, aiming for the throne,
they became strangers to each other,
so are we.
Poisonous language difference
is a tribalism infection,
coursing an illness "Panga-knife slaughtering"
screaming, "Foreigners!, Foreigners!"
to the continental residents,
that symptom is of a 'killing' virus
marking red faces to the continent,
now..
we are herds with no shepherd
what a horrible image in Africa.
like sons of Kings, aiming for the throne,
they became strangers to each other,
so are we.
Poisonous language difference

coursing an illness "Panga-knife slaughtering"

nzadi o nzere: Land of a River's Gamble/ the C-K Influence
just with ridiculously miniscule
of reserve hung in its huge, now
spatially emptied out gular pouch
a migratory bird
swims across salty currents
& alien smelling vastly
untested airs
spurs into an approaching irony
the dramatic demarcating centric
imaginarily circling (a)round for long
-this dragging equatorial line
their stealthy dense canopies in an eerie silence ...
indecipherably winking in midnightish notorities
wide-open & giggling whorish wayward river...

#AFRICA
She feeds nations but fails to breast feed her own
she is the epitome of wealth,my Africa
But they will not let her harvest her own
She has endowed her children with knowledge
Ask about the brain drain
Yes,she is beautiful,beauty packed and sold
beauty that does not at all benefit her
They know how to crawl in
they called it 'development loans'
sunk her in so deep in debt she can barely float
Africa,the land that once thrived on authenticity
The land that the Creator blessed with so much melanin
Her children now scrap it...
