I reflect and dream of you Africa, and hope to see Peace, Equality and Freedom work for you and for all… …and to travel through many African countryside, to smell coffee grown in a valley in an Ethiopian village, to dance with the Masai and roar boldly with Serengeti Lions when they call the sunrise.… Continue reading Reflection: African Dream

I heard your songs soar through the thick forests, through the fields But the wind hid the song, your voice and your face from the world You were told to keep quiet, but if the hunger won’t let you from crying out Daada will have to drop you, so that the soldiers won’t find our… Continue reading Biafran Babies
When the creepy hands of darkness departs
Then comes a flush of renewed energy
***
Do you feel the sweet and virgin morning airs, fresh?
Do you love the warmth that comes with the rising sun?
The mornings signify a new life
Never tie yesterday to this new life
But stay awake to the worlds vanity
Be conscious of the worlds dying love
Of deception, lies and gross pretence
After the ice-cold winter
With dead tree silhouttes
Comes the blessed summer
With sweet ripened raspberries
The world may seem dark and hopeless
Plants die and cripple to live again
In its wake, she becomes so pretty
And nothing takes her innocent green
Let your heart remain beautiful
Let all sweet memories of goodness
Be alive in you, aye!
Make it a garden of vegetables
Drive the poisonous thorns off
Live a life, help deserving people
Read my poetry, stay beautiful!
Do not despair, nothing stays forever
Many a lessons are learnt in mistakes
The beautiful faces sag and lose it pride
The wise and foolish all one day dies
The good soul is beautiful
The face withers, it is a deception
Noth, deserves a golden burial
In the wake of something new
Let your thoughts come swiftly back
You can be you, without the departed
See the world newly
Pray and talk to God
Write your own stories
Read with smileful infants
Run after pretty butterflies
Pick fruits from the mango
Watch an ant colony
Sit under branchy trees
Stare at the moon alone
Tell a tale to the world
Paint the colors in your mind
Count the night stars
Believe in you, be cuter!
Be yourself, be better
Dream bigger, be stronger
Never be scared of loving again
Rather be a human being!
For when a tree looses a leaf
Another one grows to replace it
Sharing is caring!
The freedom we all seek
From the views of the rising sun
To the suns slumber in the evening
Horizon to horizon
Oceans of blue, boundless
Much further you can sail
And the skies up the firmaments
Without boundaries ever known
The strength of the ice thicked
Upon the bare soil
The waterfalls on rocks, hedged
Upon green brushes and forests
The dreams men wandering, seek
The brave, the humble and the meek
The fears of men, the unknown
Grown from the darkest corners
Of pain, distrust and inhumanity
One day we we would be
Boundlessly free
With the clouds always blue
And the sun rising and waking
