Together then-we'll win

Now we stand divided
Aren't we tired?
From all these chains
Chains that has--and still dissociates us
Dissociated from our own roots?
It's not our will
Neither is it our wish
I mean,this bill
To segregate us
With so called--borders
Did we need these borders?
We have eyes but blind
Unlike the bat which sees in the night
We can see it happening
So why these suffering?
We deteriorate-under duress we divide
They flourish--willingly,side by side.
Now it's enemies we create
With weapons we never made
Ut omnes unum sint
Together we must think
Together then--we'll win

Being Mortal

We human beings
Spend more a thousand on drinks
Winners or losers
Run into strange capers
With life's rumour
Like rum
Get's us drunk
The coin
Crest and cocoa,drum
Should justify
Our fruit--sweet or bitter bile
We trend on arbitrary emotion
But contradictions
The very innate stuffs
On our ways
Sometimes we go astray
If considered germane
It sparks off fires of invention
There's more time to rest
When dead
We live life forward
But understand backward
Striving,enjoying
Alas! All must tumble down
To nowhere--but the ground

That Stick

Read at Radio Univers, UG. 21th Jan, 07

Lightening of the disease
At which they show much expertise
Twist and roll of the tongue
To spray smoke,do the sky wrong
In men,out women,old and young
In their ineptitude
Fail or cherish to see
Their faith resplendently written on a box
Pleasurely they by pass
Ministry of Health warning
Who only show much alacrity
At their inscription.
The patronizers-not the least perturbed
To save a stick and save two lives
