palms of wisdom

  Tree of wisdom I rose with the sun after a violent burial by the rain  I stretched with joy before the army came to feast on my leaves. Then I cried out with holes all over my pretty petals, hurt and devastated. I raged casting out my burnt out leaves ,they shrunk and crisped sadly’ After the huge defeat , I rose with the sun for it smiled  at me and gave me life . As I breathed out in raindrops I filled the earth with laughter and embraced it with flowers ooh my new petals . They “beautified” me ,but animal never gave up ,he  stamped on me until I felt pain no more . Numb I lay helpless but when the sun smiled ,I smiled again. The hauling storm looted and scotched my home and I  withered ……...but wait not so fast I did not perish. Call me resilient for I deserve it……. As it poured again on me , I stood confident on mother earth and stronger than I was before. Yes I am the tree of wisdom pluck a leaf to read me.  kissed by the summer rains!

  Dancing feet of a solitary reaper. Then I will sing on it again like a bird with plucked wings  encaged in a hot iron rod jail .  Then I will cry out like a child who has lost both parents  Instantaneously.  It was never enough for us to trode on it with chests , held high in the air . Then I will protest like an irked crowd of women furiously, marching to destroy their perpetrator.  Then when all is gone, I’ll be hung in the atmosphere like dust from the dancing horses. Dear flower its been long since I danced with you , for my  feet had been healing from the scars of the crack ridden  floor I grew up on. The cloud of ignorance hovers all over for they all get fed  with silver or gold spoons.  But I always bump and collide with tartared garments in my  closet and the hauling storms and thunder rumbling in the stomach makes it worse. Palms of wisdom save us from tyranny and poverty eating our heels and everyone around us. Yes...

  Little bird You had been growing with time  Even though you were born in miles I watched you as you blossom  But now look at the crows  Laughing as they chase  you with eyes of destruction You had been cherished with love But now you are rotting with lust  I watch you fall apart helplessly because my nest is too far to warm you You had been promised freedom but sadly Here you are caged and showered with lies and deceit. I will watch you perish because my hands  are tied. You are now left alone with your nest askew reeking melancholy. I saw your tears yesterday I see them today  but if you leave them  I will see them tomorrow You have been left with scars  But they come to add more  I watch you fall into depression accompanied by  Low self-esteem because you trust and love too much Your ribs are broken  Your wings are tender  Your legs are shaking Your head is hammering  I will bandage and sooth you  Small ...

  Cancer  Right as it snatches me by the loose strings  Of my heart ,I turn slowly to dart away from it  Faster than lightning it catches up and tears me From limb to limb leaving me solemn in agony and the dust of depression settles in and I turn to pills Smearing a smile to let the world turn away because Questions with no answers send depression to taunt  and haunt me again. It all fades away as I shut my eyes pressing tears in But in no time they protest and my eyelids let them escape Am fading away like burnt ashes of the dead in the wind Am scared of sharing about the sad girl filled with loathe stuck in me . I keep her locked in because the world knows how to  point fingers and dance to your sorrows. Am scared that when the sun gets embraced by its mother  Thoughts surface like bats seeing light from an intruder If I could find a solution far from suicide, I will repaint  my portrait adding colours to bring life to my picture. It will water...
