BAPTISED WITH FIRE
(Poetry)
9-10-2009
by kaboyo julius
We are baptised with gunfire
And held an AK47 for a candle.
We have been immersed in cold blood:
To wash away our tears and fear.
From that moment we joined the bundle
of the family of damnation-not salvation.
We were baptised with...

its not am impatient dear,
but rather, i so much fear;
like one awaiting a dear
to come out of the bush clearly,
he ends up spearing the tail.
like one awaiting a rose to blosom fully,
it withers in his hands
so do i fear dear to loose...
FREEDOM?

FREEDOM?
Freedom without control is but chaos,
sSpeaking much is not a measure of sense,
Communications without a message is like
a monologue intended for no one.
Hearing and not comprehending is like a whirling wing on the trees.

Imagination

Mighty is the power or imagination.

Memories
(Poetry)

When on back I flash back,

I see children starving and wailing in worry,
Women whose faces appear sorry and weary
Men whose eyes are marked with fear and tears.
When on my back I flash back,
My back...

A kingdom where bulls mowed like calves,
In zigzag ways, women’s waists wagged,
Sending weak men wild with morality,
Where men valued virtue and vanity
Beyond beauty.

This life
(Poetry)

What offense have we committed?
We are born prematurely,
Wailing in agony, blind and mute,
Hearing that which we can't comprehend,
Visualizing that which we cannot see,
Guilty of sins not committed.
Why then do we live?

Why Africa?
(Poetry)
1-11-2008
by kaboyo julius
Why should it be Africa,
where children starve amidst food,
people die evil deaths without cause,
war wipes out entire communities and commodities
and causes panic inside our intestines--
leading to miscarriages that discourage
our courage?...
