Two genders
when we were toddlers, we played in the sandbox
and hide and seek, we didn't think about whose
gender we were
a few years later, the girls refused to play with
us boys, we were too active climbing walls
and they went back, playing with dolls, I presume
doing needleworks
A few years later, we realized they were girls
they strutted down the street arm-in-arm
haughty as one gets
Near them were silent, blushed like the girls
knew what we were thinking
When one of the boys confessed he had kissed

In Too Deep
Kursk(2018)
Too deep to go back
Down below the sea swimming with the
Fish I’ve never seen I must be in the deep
They look at us like we don’t belong here
But we’re in too deep to go back the
Pressure reading seems to be going super high
He reports they say the temp can rise a little bit
We’re in the missile bay surrounded by
Bombs that will blow up the Ocean
I say a prayer my buddy says I don’t believe in God
Temps rise a bomb goes off we torpedoed our own sub
...

the soul
AI and the souls
Does a human baby have a soul
if so, dogs and giraffes also must have a soul
inside their being, like a third force
pulling strings. if ever so gently
If we accept an abstraction, like the soul
exists, it must include all living identities
a soul might be a reserve of experiences
gathered over the years make it possible
to know when we are trespassing
I think if AI becomes sophisticated
the question will arise
This, of course, is an important theme
as we tend to associate soul with faith ...

we who loved America
We who loved America (second part)
I enjoyed America and remember touring
a Sunday outside Houston (Texas), met in a café
a group of openly armed, elderly men
they were courteous people one could meet
I understood guns have cultural meaning
in America, we in Europe don't understand
I remember a saying, "A country where the populace
is armed, people are polite."
I stayed on the ship longer than needed but had
to go home and get educated, I studied management
and later ran a restaurant

A Mother's Execution
November, 2023
On a cold November morning, only days after we celebrated Mother’s Day, I was assigned to the firing squad. I watched as a young Ukrainian woman, accused of criticizing our army, face death. Only afterwards did I learn she was in the early months of pregnancy. Prison doctors had withheld this information from us but it leaked after we had completed our task.
It's a weight I can't shake. How could we, in the name of duty, take a life so recklessly? She was just a girl with a voice, silenced by our guns. I've taken not just her life, but the life of an...

Mama
My daughter.
My purple rose.
You are going to have trials
And tribulations.
You are going to have sincere
Smiles and adorations.
You will give your love freely
And it affects you deeply.
Your tears will fall with
Seemingly no end.
The night will call to you
Looking for you to bend.
What I will say to you
With all my heart.
There is reason for you
From the very start.
I needed to love.
I needed to heal.
I needed your...

Mother's Day 2024
Today is Mother's Day of 2024.
But you died and you can't celebrate Mother's Day anymore.
You were a wonderful mother and I'm your youngest son.
You died eleven years ago in 2013 when I was forty-one.
You were a kind and giving person and that is a fact.
Being generous was a trait that you sure didn't lack.
It broke my heart and it was painful when you passed away.
Even though you're dead, I wish you a happy Mother's Day.
But you died and you can't celebrate Mother's Day anymore.
You were a wonderful mother and I'm your youngest son.
You died eleven years ago in 2013 when I was forty-one.
You were a kind and giving person and that is a fact.
Being generous was a trait that you sure didn't lack.
It broke my heart and it was painful when you passed away.
Even though you're dead, I wish you a happy Mother's Day.

Mother's Day
What happens when your heart skips a beat?
You loose your breath...
You are breathing in quick deep breaths...
Almost hyperventilating....
It comes to you in a flash
You remember the good times
The boat rides in Uhuru Park, the pedaling..
The trips to the pwani beaches
All courtesy of Mother dearest
Yet lingers the pain of times lived in the slums
Times of being thrown out of rented homes
Of landlords big padlocks on the door
Or using blacksmiths to weld and shut entry
Yet sometimes had to innovate and use neighbor's doors to...

Happy Mother's Day
Please son take my hand
You will soon find out the truth
I'm not your mother
You will soon find out the truth
I'm not your mother

Nation Birthers
Your nurturing natures motivate
Providing love in a world of hate
When others berate, you'll uplift
Bestowing us with a divine gift
Today we lift and exalt you all
Cause you chose to answer the call
Stand tall & be showered with love
Absorb the elation & fly like a dove
Above the clouds of trials & tribulations
Over mole hills & mountains of frustrations
Relaxation is the sole goal of this occasion
For the mothers & birthers of many nations
Providing love in a world of hate
When others berate, you'll uplift
Bestowing us with a divine gift
Today we lift and exalt you all
Cause you chose to answer the call
Stand tall & be showered with love
Absorb the elation & fly like a dove
Above the clouds of trials & tribulations
Over mole hills & mountains of frustrations
Relaxation is the sole goal of this occasion
For the mothers & birthers of many nations

Ever So Blessed
.
.
From the first droplets
.
of tear
.
blood
.
and sweat
You birthed
with doubts
love
and flood-
of emotions, overwhelming
Poured all
the little you had
with no others
to truly count on
fighting;
self doubt
lack of sleep
guilt,
and all that was postpartum
...
