AFRICA

I Pondered
What's African
Time.⌚
I came to
realization,
why Africa
is yet
lacking
behind.

Because
there's
no room for
orderliness.
So God
also use
African time
to answer us.
So sad 😔
What a pity
Africa! 😔
Are you
dead or slept
so deeply?
Wake up
now Africa!
Don't be
ignorant...
Alike the
other part of
the world
wake up!
Watch your
children and
their children
with their
children's
children dying.
Hearken now
where you're
laying. Picture
your brethren
growing,
extraordinarily
expanding.
Their
descendants
succeeding,
living happily.
Africa
don't be a
black sheep,
enough you
creep,
African got
to think deep.
Or else there
would be no
sleep
in your eye in
the nearest
future.
Because all
your
untrained kids
wouldn't let
you
rest upon
your peace.
Honesty is the best policies.
Train your child to be honest.

We live under the same blue sky,
same Moon, same stars, the same stories-telling clouds,
Why won't we live in peace and harmony?
Why **** and try to make of someone something else
When what we do is nothing wrong but different?
We live under the same blue sky
still ****** happens, all the time.
The child, naive, is wondering.
The man, the woman know and laugh and cry.

Beg the beggers
They will hear you

Beg, nobody else
Genre: Abstract
Theme: Question of consciousness
Note: Don't waste time in may be, perhaps, if then and only after. Know your worth, and don't fix on someone that isn't ready for or isn't treating you right. The right one is looking for you, just hold on.

It was the key of E
ZzzzZzzzZzzzZzzzZzzz
punctuated by the coloratura
of exuberant birds
greeting the morning sunlight
as the bees rushed from flower to flower
zealous to drink in the nectar of a new day

A leaf blower pierces this subtle but mighty symphony
Why can't we just allow the wind to blow the leaves?
Still the bees ZzzzZzzZzzz
Still the birds rival the greatest sopranos
And I pause
What am I adding to this grand opus?
Am I in harmony?
Am I the din?

ZzzzZzzzZzzZzzzZzzz
And we keep buzzing, humming, singing
As this little planet turns, ecstatically
In a symphony of galaxies and stars
Basking in the dayspring sun

This is not just
A career opportunity
It's an eternal call for
The background visual poetry
Model (Spirit)
Who will stay eternal
No less than the oldest star
No less than the solo sun

It's not about the pretty face
Or the latitude
And longitude of the body
We're concerned about
It's not about the education height
We have nothing to do with
It's not about your background
Where you are from

It's about the vibration
Grace and inspiration
It's about the energy
And the balance
It's more about
Your inner self
Everything who is you

All it takes is to sense the air
Go with the flow
Keep the mind at rest
Lost in time
Don't ever stop
Be inevitable
Wherever
Whenever
With each passing day

The rightful spirit

Ones a bridge ones a melody
Sometimes I replay without finishing
So different
Yet in harmony
Melissa Phillips Oct 2020
I look around the world todayand see the pain and strife,
it's then I am so thankful for my ordinary life.

There are those who choose to terrify this world we're living in,
violence and guns that take the lives of the innocent ones within.

So much hatred running rampant,
the sound of war is ringing loud,
and we can't help but notice the darkening of the clouds.

There are children who are crying in the streets we walk upon,
with no one there to hold them at the breaking of the dawn.

All around us we see people
who could use a helping hand,
just words of encouragement, someone there to understand.

Homeless people, single mothers,
starving children cry in vain,
depressed people with no answers,
all cry out with a voice of pain.

What will it take for us to see, the answer's still unknown,
in order to achieve world peace,we have to start right here at home!
This is the first poem I have had the courage to share with anyone but family! I welcome your thoughts,  comments and critiques!
Everyday, my eyes open
To admire the beautiful world
I was born into.
Motivated with the style of writing and creation,
In possession of my feelings
That can never be killed by poison,
For I appreciate every second spent in your company.
Closer than ever I want to be
Tamed by you
Your hand holding my head with passion
Not afraid to let your heart open for someone so distant from your own kind
How I want to walk on the streets holding your hand and laughing like a fool
Understand how to cope up with the eerieness of the world
The dangers that are sometimes frightening
But peace conquering all in the end
For a new world starts with beautiful minds
Trying to change the old narrative
Erase misery
Flower new melodies
New options
New everything
Floating over us like clouds in the sky
That even with different interests
We live together as one

If you survived
That despair
That unfair
That chaos
That storm
That void
That emptiness
That silence
That dark time
Along the way
And yet, keep the balance
With kindness alive
And calm eyes

No matter what
You are not of this time
To be precise
You are divine
No less than the God
Don't know
Who needs to hear this
May be, the person reading

Your goodness
