*FLOWERS AND THE HIMALAYAS
The air’s more fragrant and transparent
You can see and smell things through it
That you couldn’t before*
How beautifully unpredictable
This window into a world
We were certain had ceased to exist
Grab onto it with both hands
Take the time machine
Find your touchstone
To keep us all there
As this moment promises/
Threatens to be gone
You can see and smell things through it
That you couldn’t before*
How beautifully unpredictable
This window into a world
We were certain had ceased to exist
Grab onto it with both hands
Take the time machine
Find your touchstone
To keep us all there
As this moment promises/
Threatens to be gone

Covid-19
The Corona virus
Is nothing but a hybrid
Of history and literature;
ICT and biology
And international politics.
In the “Eyes of Darkness”
Decades ago
Was the Wuhan-400 bred
In some biology laboratory in Wuhan.
How it started spreading
Like some malware virus
Through the internet in 2020;
Attacking world powers and economies.
In Africa, the dark continent,
The virus means nothing
As the people there
Have far worse viruses
Living with them.
There are splinters of...

OBSESSED WITH WEALTH
What does it mean
To be rich?
Limitless fresh and clean air,
Nourishing water
And fertile soil
Come to mind.
That is the wealth
I want for my children.
That is the wealth I cling to
So obsessively.

Aftershocks
In a world strapped in Global Warming we saw the warnings.
In the early morning Global Viruses likely cause crisis.
Like this, Financial Death lurks like the Grim Reaper.
Outdated Infrastructure is lethal to the community.
Obsolete Education makes this poem look foreign in America.
Flat Earth.
Plate Tectonics crack back in search of rebirth.
Perhaps nature doesn't nurture capitalism.

Smothering Lumbering
Branches of frazzled afros
grasping in pleading
soot-thinned narrowness
- vehicles barely splutter acknowledgement.
They cannot touch me
on the buses' upper level,
I wish they didn't have to try.

The Earth is Trembling!
Today we must plant the seed
fallen from Adam’s forbidden fruit,
return the garden; put our brimstone down
Beg our trembling Earth 🌎
to fear not fire 🔥
nor missiles brighter than suns
in the night sky
Are there any shooting stars left?
We’ve washed our hands in melting ice
drank water until transformed
into lead lemonade and mud mojitos;
we are drunk off denial
thinking recycling one bottle is enough.
I’m praying for a cloud where people thirst.

too easy to blame the victorians ..
and the great stink of 1858
which emanated from the thames
and which led to improvements in sewage
disposal that shit has caught up
with us now .. ?

how the cycle goes
The poison passes
from hand to hand
till it lands
in the hand
of a struggling soul
who either sells
or
uses for their own
and births another addict
another habit
Brooklyn's own
broken soul
that's how the cycle goes
from hand to hand
till it lands
in the hand
of a struggling soul
who either sells
or
uses for their own
and births another addict
another habit
Brooklyn's own
broken soul
that's how the cycle goes

Changes
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through – David Bowie
The new generation has risen,
They are fighting for what’s rightfully theirs,
They are voicing their concern,
Calling for action and change,
And Greta has taken the lead.
Some in the world stage ridicule them,
But what they lack in experience and years
They make up in passion and persistence,
They will not be meek but speak up because
They will...

Cold Medallions
Joy derived from money’s bloom
is sad offset to the coming doom
ask the barons for their crumbs
cold medallions are the surplus
those dividends that fill the purse
aren’t enough to reimburse
the bill that children will receive
after the guilty are deceased
their bones laid in watery graves
or scorched beneath the sun’s rays
shed no tear for these ones
the siren sounded while they toiled
looking to the bottom line
while their spawn became the damned
pawned for the brass ring
if only this were fit to...
