A Friend's Slap
(Poetry)
2-11-2005
by JOEL OGAR
Is this water on my cheek?
Or felt something streak
O' where 's the glass magic?
I guess my head plays logic
Come, show me who I am
Are these tears or sham?
No, am not shirking
Though heavy and shaking;
I won't cry but smile,
The body,...

[Who Am I?]
PART I
One cold and bleak a day-
Yes, it was my saddest morning-
That happens to be a Sunday,
I walked out, lonely, yawning
And sorrowing, all the way.
My life was that of ants:
Scavenging where there’s a remains.

Drum Beat of My Brothers
(Poetry)
28-02-2006
by JOEL OGAR
Somewhere from the West
Sang a sweet song
My heart gave a joyful leap
But my legs wouldn't support it
Rather, I fell, bowed to earth
Humming between my teeth
Which cleaved to death by the drum
Then I knew, so late in life
I am a fool...
Earth Song
(Poetry)
5-10-2005
by JOEL OGAR
The moon is at her peak
By bits, we all gathered
Trees sway and clap,
Others bleat; insects shriek
A match of time in weather,
It's the earth song; we sang
Each steps in her manner;
Though the tune swerve the rhythm
On we dance; hope it’ll...
Filthy Beast
(Poetry)

by JOEL OGAR
Love, I hate you
Fire is dearer to your painful sting
Thou, you're an ugly beast
Our world 's torn by your stink
Thou are indeed hatred;
Real hatred, though at zero level
I Hear The Humbles Grumbling
(Poetry)
23-02-2006
by JOEL OGAR
I hear the inward rumbling
Of silent ones sent to earth grumbling
My spirit is greatly moved, but I can't touch
Forcefully interested where I wouldn't bother
But everywhere I look I see them tightly clutch
Embracing forever the earth. There...
On the Narrow Road
(Poetry)
19-11-2007
by JOEL OGAR
Whose child is that,
on this lone road amiss?
He looks like a cat
estranged from its miss!
He looks like a ghost
matching on lanes men can't!
He reads like the toast
written in haste, without a pant!
Wrong. He's a brother,
a kid...
Preacher
(Poetry)

by JOEL OGAR
I love lies like hell
Cos am sad, I tell
Hint my listeners, of doom
Not far, the rain loom
To pounce on deaf ears
It's a lie; that's the secret
The Unborn
(Poetry)
23-08-2007
by JOEL OGAR
Blazing round the corner
Of here today gone tomorrow,
Creeps a disturbing nightmare
In a changing atmosphere.
Am I safe? Help! Are you safe?
How about our children, the unborn,
When this place where our feet rest
Is fast...
True friends never sleep

by JOEL OGAR
Knock! knock! door who do you homed?
Ah, I hear him asked, ' who could that be?'
Come out friend, it's no stranger but me
Back from that dreamless sleep - I'd roamed-
And found you snoring heavily by my side;
Drunk by the wicked spirit of...
Why death?
(Poetry)

by JOEL OGAR
Eternally the Earth spins
So does everything she bowls
There is never a fixed position
In a wandering time we drift along
Moving from known to unknown
Out of somewhere life came
Onto somewhere life goes
Air is but a currency of time
Life...
