MY TEACHER


                                                            


 My teacher deserves a beating for beating me up while teaching me lies,
For lashing out on my delicate behind with no good reason and then enjoying my cries,
For crossing out my views with a red pen and still expecting me to revise,
For adopting a superiority complex based on suits and ties,
For having no idea about or respect for my intelligence and still claiming to be wise,
 
For categorizing students of varied unique capabilities alike: 
thereby gambling with futures like dice,
For forcefully instilling ideologies using a fear-based device,
For telling me that the missionaries came to my homeland to do something nice;
For calling my people savage apes based on Darwin's lies,
For claiming that my roots were uncivilized and ridden with vice,
For all the white writings on the black wall, the children are still intellectually impoverished: 
I call them academic mice,
For sniffing in that toxic chalk from the mines,
a double-edged misfortune responsible for rotting young lungs
as well as jotting down misconceptions onto young minds,
Each dot a point where the Xs meet the Ys,
For the price that shall be paid once the sleeping dogs arise,
Once the lies are frozen in time and if need be in ice.

ALL IS WELL UNTIL IT ENDS IN A WAIL

"Men are callous creatures," her grandma said. "They are only after one thing." That, she did remember at the beginning and the end of each fling; Each 'phallusy' more phenomenal than the other, in lust and never lasting; Loose lips sink ships so they might as well just sing; She figured if those hips could pay heaps then she might as well just sin; Drove them crazy with her curves and drove them crazy in their back seats; Wrapped them round her finger like Jerry curls, incoming, outgoing; Summer boy, winter boy, rebound boy, running; Running towards her goal post to score shots, charming!; Until the wind started blowing and the fire started burning; Then came the coughing and the choking, yes! the fire was spreading; Isolated in the left wing; Thinking about her last will; Thinking about her coffin; Thinking about the wine, the whiskey and the dry gin; All it took was a couple nails and she was hammered in; Forever shut away from li...

THAT KINDA LOVE...

Love is an unconditional condition that suffers no competition, When mind meets body and soul at its epicenter there's no stopping the energy in motion, The circle is pure and free from vicious practices, portions and deception, Love is the place two become one without subtraction, Rather the numbers merge into completion and desires come to fruition, Love is the fire and the heart its hearth, Begetting nothing but more love: Its offspring are full of virtue and untainted from birth, Know love and know nothing but mirth, In it you should bath and drown your wrath. ~ALshaVERB

IN THE TUNNEL

I am a cautious optimist, Too much disappointment in the world has taught me to be careful with how I love and how I hope, It is easy to be fake but harder to be real in a jungle full of beasts it is a wonder how I cope, Friend, foe and stranger alike all come with intentions to shop through my soul up until I drop, Some of them want me to breathe my last so they could say I was good peoples, many times they tried to break me and many times they flop, See I was born to be great even though at times the depressions are greater, still I must mount each and every slope, And even to my last day I'll stay up, haunting their fake asses as I look up through my hearse, In ten days The Last Will and Testament will be in every ear, realer than anything I ever made through the years, there is no time to rehearse, Meanwhile I be planting flowers and cementing my deceased triplets' grave solo: even though they rest it's still a fresh dagger to the heart...
