Sojourning Mind by timpaker(m): 5:25pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
[b]The Godfather Muse. Black and white tux Well fitted, Tilted fedora hat Resting on scanty hair, Puffing, Smoking, Coughing, Pointing, Disloyalty sways No mercy. Flammable Vodka Caresses opaque copita glass, Burnt parejos Buried in a golden ash tray, Burning, Sipping, Slurping, Exhaling, Belching, The price for snitching my pay Is death by dismemberment. Stainless blade Nicely sharpened, Titanium glock Death's teeth and mouth gladden, Shooting, Cutting, Squirting, Fountain of blood gushing, When crossing that path, Death is never enough! Domestic beasts Scampering body parts on the floor, Greed is like Oliver - Hungering for more, Barking, Fighting, Laughing, Godfather doesn't forget He whose body he gored. Gunshots echoed Over hungry beasts, Fear feeds Through his fealty feast, Panting, Sitting, Smiting, One more guest, Silence - joined The dinner at least. Money piled in black boxes An exchange for dead body parts Counting, Stashing, Packing, He who must do crime Must first sell his heart.[/b] 6 Likes 1 Share |

THE POT AND THE KETTLE (rhyme) White in, black out, two friends of fire Sits on a worn out rack Both excreting droplets when excited and admired On the embers of a sparkling black rock so dark.... *** Each drabbling and sweltering in a furnace-friendly pose, Broiling and boiling under hellish guide, As water and stew fumble through the chef's nose Hungry war chided off its recipes with pride. **** When a thick smoke swam the kitchen eyes - The Kettle accuses pot of stretching the fire, A flummoxed chef writhe in acerbic cries As tea drown its meal in a battles of desire; The white ashes also smolders the black rock, Precluding the bubbling meal from getting done By suspending guest as they drool on its spoon and fork, A delay that made the colourful ingredients separate one by one. Mirroring the xenophobic activity in S.A. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

timpaker:uhmmm.... Can I really guess right? Juxtaposing the relationship between South Africa and Nigeria during apartheid and now, xenophobia? Tell me, please. |
Re: Sojourning Mind by joseph1832(m): 12:25pm On May 07, 2015 |
timpaker:Nigeria the pot South Africa the kettle. Why? Tribalism and ethnic sentiment has been going on since the time we were amalgamated, even after then, the events of the civil war and post civil war speaks volumes about how we will murder our fellow Nigerians here in cold blood and feel good about it, only for us to cry wolf when we see them being beaten and murdered abroad!. My opinion though!. 2 Likes |

[b]The P0rnst*r Portrait On my polished wall, She gracefully stare. Wanting to taint my pleasure, and muck my flare. Uneasy, I flatter Here and there. While I crave Her careless care. Under the covers You imaginatively lay, In my head, Your prowess held me sway. I'm making a movie With you in play. This is not dream Nor a fallacious fay The precept of play: "A not to be freed slave" Hedonistically snared, My freedom i freely gave Gag me with your lips If i rave. And punish me gravely When I misbehave. Make a coward Off my bravery. Like a seductive dominatrix, Slink me to slavery. Pluck out the lights, For the day to gently tarry Flirt with my mind; and Forgive my debauchery. For night after nights, More moribund rounds Ruffling of sheets, As my 'bone' pound When I scream, For that pleasure I found Passion in frigidity? Silence is a sound. You've purloined My scintilla of scruples. With your eyes Faintly blue as purple. Yet I lavish you with kisses, It increases everyday on a double. Now your picture is scarred By the lips and knuckle.

timpaker: timpaker: Well since you asked I see the chef as two entities. The First is the U.N/U.S. They guide every doings in this very world and still fail to do what they're meant to do. They sit and fold their hands when things such as race and tribe rear their ugly head, and most times when it leads to slaughtering of human beings. The U.N/U.S are suppose to be the watchdog of the world yet they're in itself, weak and inadequate when it comes to securing lives and property because they sit idle and watch people get killed. The recent event of the Israeli and Palestian war comes to mind, where thousands of women and children lost their lives as a result of Israeli rocket fire and complete bombardment of Gaza strip. The second is Mother Nature/Humanity. Nature weeps each time a live is lost and weeps even more when its in hundreds, thousands and millions. Humanity has seen its own fair share of blood from time in memorial, where man sometimes return to the State of Nature as propounded by Thomas Hobbes where he describe it as "Homo Homini Lupus Est" simply put, "man is wolf to man" that is man eats man. We are no longer contented with killing and raping the Earth, but killing ourselves has become of a hobby than anything else. We kill just to foster and bolster our superiority as long as its not us who gets killed or anybody related to us. We're okay with it and we don't even blink an eyelid. Just my thoughts once again. That is from what I can decipher from the poem. 1 Like |

joseph1832:Hi buddy, You got it partly right. The answer is the UN. I'm excited that you're very vast in International politics. Perhaps one day we could dabble into the issue of Gaza. I'd like to read your views on it but on the meantime, PM me with ur digits for the gift. Cheers! |

GIRLS I see beneath the fashion worries, Buried in the colourful mask of beauty, As they look so crazily and perceptibly vain, Slinking and poising on a 6'inch heels, Uncomfortably comfortable... I just scream "girls!!!" 2 Likes 1 Share |

[b] Conflict in the Graveyard Like the gale-force wind that walks unrestrained, A new nomadic soul loiters the necroplis, Clad in dark heavy shadow with restless peace; Upsetting the silence of a stretched sleep Till it perched and cracked the barrow of a forgotten demon, And there begins the conflict in the graveyard. It happened under the coal night; with a bitten moon face agleam, An owl in its clairvoyance glee refereed on anthill-like tumuli. The forgotten demon disentombed and dust off its husk; Trudging boldly onward, upturning telekinetically Any grave with an encomium or an "RIP" epitaph written headstone; Indeed there would be conflict in the graveyard. Crackles of dried flowers on shattered tombs Swirling like a tornadic ring towards a grandfather's clock, Hitting the pendulum above the tintinnabulatum - It was set- a poltergeist has risen! As vagrant souls locked headstones On each other, scampering for a rest place... but on whose sepulcher Would we rest when there is conflict in the graveyard? The demon ransacked all vaults in the necropolis Splotching stones of soulless filth in search of the one who erased its epitaph "How long did I sleep for my epigraph to faintly vanish?" Its claws rumple the nomadic soul till it thawed into oblivion, Yet it raids further; dead souls called their possessors for justice For an intervention into the conflict in the graveyard. Two spirits as old as the earth paced the necropolis, From thunder and quake they made their marks On the scruffy sand; thus the demon marched forward And bent a knee to the eerie and unearthly Looking frigidly disturbed by the peace of the unpeaceful... "I caused the conflict in the graveyard"... Queried where its souls has been since It left its body from its birth of death? It said it has been quietened by the epitaph they read at its rambunctious requiem And words engraved on its tomb till a wanderer mopped it off. "Possessor, is it fair to have a 'Rest' when your "Peace" has been altered? Mum possessors lost judgement. Conflict in the Graveyard. [/b] 2 Likes |
