THE ANGELS OF POETRY

ARE CALLED

NAGA

They guide me. They love and believe in me .....like, you, and others
I talk to them.
Natural.
I pluck words out of thin air
And compose, confident, and guided.
Clutching on to the only Solitude I get, in the wee hours of the night.

Hearing only my Heartbeat...and Breathing.
Black Coffee, Delicious Peace.

Rationalizing and wrestling with memories,
lies, laughter, sighs.
Guilt, Facades, cruelty, growling stomachs, raining carpet bombs...exploding
egos,

aids, addiction, abuse..............endless...compulsion to write...to
make a difference.......

[Title...}
you
must read the
small print in black and white.
OK?

Elegantly
eyes sparkle, Forty Seven years after
replacing struggle
with mirth and laughter
throw caution to the wind
galloping poetry
in motion, perfect sync
wind, making way through
in perfect sobriety, now
golden nectar to drink.

tightly hugging the contours
of my insatiable brain
rhythmic freedom...Oh freedom again
after the
brutal journey, defined by the fire
of living hell on earth
demonized, defamed
stripped of desire
mocked and gossiped, an object to defame
oh Alvin?
Either a genius, leader, or definitely, insane
heart stopping speed
no obstacles, from shackles and rusted chains
no red tearful eyes, no merciless shame.
.
taste the heady sensation, genuinely freed
how curious when enemies become allies with amnesia
to heinous deeds
to focus on a common ..threat, a biblical breed
cursed by Noah, using
twisted creed.
black and white...historic pain
calling the creator by different names!
in that position, I'll definitely freak it..
It's no wonder The Creator doesn't have...a birth certificate.
all of the same seed.
Ishmael and Israel....out of usual sad context,
immemorial ad nauseam fray.
yet blood brothers, to this very same day.!!
.
re-unite first, become brothers, (surprise!), written in your scriptures
not incidental, or a contorted lie, it seems
Why is it overlooked...
this common sacredly endorsed.....
emphatic theme.?

Understand? Your present prayers are
echoing, in cyberspace
a waste of breath...
the useless wrong brand.
more cancerous than cigarettes
yet recited with passion, strenuous, vigorous

Simple, like the scriptures
use the same energy
talk peace,
instead of praying unceasingly for
your brothers to decease!
clutching religiously, your pure holy book
you have no idea how ridiculous you look
then pray...the simple way, from your heart
for the peace to stay, say farewell
turn your back to the past..

The Creator will emanate grace
then pray, give thanks, {oh...you've been conned}
I say this...gently
masterminded for centuries,
absorbed by your psyche fed, habitually,
relentlessly at a price
the stupid illusion, of a Creator's hatred {shown by Christ??}
or Abraham, Mohammed, Buddha or a sacred mantra chanted thrice

whispered, sung melodiously
but practiced
models of supernatural grace
turned
deaf to reason, truly a "bloody" disgrace

an innocent child will say....
"but our creator is love."
and our creator, alas, I say confidently
to your
dogmatic face....
is not exclusive
to a chosen race..

{South Africa}2002

RACE/SURVIVAL

Here I am,
I am HE
Use me
{Not abuse me} I am protected by divine right
I will then sharpen, focus my sight
Open my odd sanity, then my
mind

with crystal clarity.
Inspired by your sincerity
be kind
I will help save with God's Gift,
The earth with up lifting persuasive lyrics and verse,
Affirmations, Meditations, Prayer A Circle of Light
Never Worse
From the insane curse
The frantic dearth
It will not happen
No I will fight with my pen
A new Birth
Oh our wonderful Earth .

'The Strife of Tongues'

Part One

In the beginning......
First Impressions
Last....lately long
They tried fiberglass
But now cast in stone,
In the sophisticated ambience
She stood alone
Some circles intense, intellectual
Others obviously Cool and fashionable
But focused on her cold, irrational
A Hare caught petrified in
Car Headlamps glaring
Her reflection silhouette from
The Baby Grand piano, magnificent....
Daring
Then subtly stripped
By laser looks...then the heat
Slash, eliminate, erase, delete
Starting from
Her head
Slowly.. to her
Feet

No Brand Names
The cardinal Sin
No accessories, perhaps an idiosyncratic chin
Nothing even remotely exclusive....nothing akin
The Circle Converges, Locks... Closes
The Discussions resumes buzzing ,curling cigar smoke, Cuban

Over my shoulder, the forensic dismantling
Of Lofty Class
Confusion

Confusion..

----------
CLASS STEREOTYPES

Dissection
Gossip

Part Two

'The strife of tongues'

"Do you know, dear Petrolnella,
{I swear I'm not being Bitchy}
But isn't her Intention
Trying, Cheaply, to look Pretty??
What an Arrogant Challenge!!
Of Course ,you and I
Would rather Die
But the absolutely Ethereal Design
Of our pride n the superb tasteful, so fine
Remember
Unforgettable Coco Channel?.......
"The naughty Little Black Number?"
No...we cannot allow these curler-clad
Suburban housewives
To infiltrate our superior Lives
Our Husbands love us so much and it is not strange
For them to worship our Lifestyle Unique
And work so hard ....on the Stock Exchange

And can you believe her outrageous Hair
Probably done by calculation, by her Nerd husband
The Structural Engineer

Stifle a giggle,
With a manicured hand ,used absolutely for minimal use
Signing cheques
Its OK...her husband uses Credit Cards for Sex}
Paying for Sex with Interest
"Interesting Sex??"
Or just Hooked onto the Special FX??

----------
Part Three

'So in the final analysis'

Well...there you go.
Fate sealed with a haughty 'NO"
It depends on 'name -dropping'
Who you know
The faceless "Mr. So and So"
And selling your Soul
To be perceived as ;Cool"
And Go with the Flow.

{South Africa} 2002

'COSMIC GLUE'

Cast the First Stone,
Cast your bread upon the waters,
Onto a placid, peaceful, smooth lake. See how
All the ripples amplify in
Concentric Circles
Action and reaction
Sowing and reaping the harvest season
Sacred Moment Consciousness, no reason
Rip and tear apart the myth of Altruism
Always questionable:
"What's in it for me?"
Cast two more stones, more bread
More ripples spread
Look!! they
Touch one another in an
Infinite dance, as if ordained to do so
Bonded by Cosmic Glue [electric pink fluorescent blue}
Diligently weave The Tapestry,
The Rich Pageant of Human History.
Me ..a reflection of you.. it's true
Bonded by Cosmic Glue

Take this now as being Critical
Return to Mother Gaia
And Cosmic Fire.
Now I go...before I wax lyrical
Flow all living Creation Flow, not to be fanatical
In this ,our Earthly
Sabbatical

{South Africa} 2001

'AFTER THE HONEYMOON'

Yes...I walked the Extra Mile today
Seeking work.. for a little pay
In the searing sun.. the South African heat
Blistering my soul.. and exposed bare feet.
Spurred on by my trio of Angelic smiles
My daughters!..{that inspired the extra mile}...
Darker and darker.. rising guile
Parched tongue.. too painful to smile

Oh yes.. The liberation.. oh yes..
Inter-twined with corruption rife
Empty rhetoric ..of a bright new life.
For the Liberators...for sure
Craving more
It echoes off voids...sounding feeble...less and less.. poor

Maybe my shadow will leave a foot print.. to rest
For an alien to discover and subject to test!!
At least with freedom for posterity
I'll write my very own Obituary!
Black or White...who cares less?
Empty promises rise with the Sun
A deflated balloon'
When the day is
Done.

'FORBIDDEN FRUIT?'

Eve?
The apple you bit
Encouraged by a serpent is
A Freudian myth..
or perhaps a Granny Smith?
To blush and discover the real Truth
your Sensuality, assuredness.. contagious laughter uplift
So Beautiful, so natural ,a divine gift
Discover the Creation experience.....
A Euphoric, stunning orgasmic shift?
But gosh, Eve...it was recorded and gossiped
{splashed in the media} that
you certainly Gave our Maker
A Sacred Seizure!!

Did you launder my fig leaf {Hope not pinched by a naked thief!}
And re-considered your amazing Belief
Now {The Creator forbid!} I must use
The original
Designer Leaf, Brand name.. to measure
To cover myself, my unique treasure
And embrace to release with strength.. the fluid...
Essence of our Creator
As one in fertility pleasure..
Vibrant, kinetic
With sacred epileptic, blissful.. genetic?
Embracing....nothing greater
Creativity exposed
Nine months...later

Healthily endowed...shout it out loud!
Passionate Co-Creators
Enigmatic Paradoxical mediator
Equal and Proud! Equality of gender
Male + Female equals 1
1 +1 = 2 ?

Eve! The Forbidden Fruit
Turn away, they say
Rest assured, we know secret comfort akin
Our Spirits discovered...tasteful awesome freedom within
Then........decide to return, ... back to Eden.

For
Affection ..never forsaken
For the vows we have taken
Easy.. no haste,
For better, for worse, abundance or waste
Be sure ....... be not guilty, but faithful and Chaste
.
Call the feeling "Platonic"
Ahh yes.. an ocean apart.. but we must connect Electronic.
Don't drift, dear One, Let us carry on in Trust.
Believe, yes believe we will always certainly be
Forever as the song,
Forever
Young.

{South Africa} 2001

'Glamour, Glitz, Deception'

The Trappings of Beauty
Sensuality allures.
Addiction to Aesthetic
Imagination to soar
Tastefully scripted, colorful collage to store,
Subtle, enigmatic, teasingly secure.
Mysterious, Seductive, quickening
Passion endure
Oh Goddess of Awe ..with an aura so pure!

The Trappings of Beauty.
Exposed even more..
Deception and Lies
Accusations that flies
Rips the very heart.. once delirious with Glee,
Innocence exit, Tenderness flee
Never to reclaim.. yet once so free.

A lifetime of sorrow..."'Till death do us part."
Imagine my Nightmare, a paradox of the human heart
Now another man's Dream
In the cold light of dawn.. "Where the hell have you been??"
Soaked in Shock
Emotions that crash mercilessly
Against The Rock
Black night, suck in air, confused with horror

Another Revelation
Another Tomorrow??

'HYDRA'

The dramatic Demise of the many-headed Monster's Global reign.

Myth and Messrs Hydra gropes
Now frantically
For a hold on 3rd millennium
Power
Rules as
One
with
many
Talking Heads
of State {in a Psychotic State}
Buzz intensely
Cacophony .....polyphony

Orchestrated Clutter
Designed to confuse
Enigmatic uncertainty
and hissing Toothless threats
Which aches with
Much more confusion fuelling
Controversy

Illusion save thunderous
Brainstorming....awaiting depleted
Serration Serendipity
A dream. Hydra...a dream
It's over
Alpha and Omega

Many nervous Machiavellian
Smiles...for now
Cutting pathetic figures
Inevitably ...the manipulators
schemes unravel
Cryptic code cracks
The secretive plan unfolds
Many heads will
now roll
On the Red Carpet
Bloodied by innocent
Historic pawns in Power obsession
Human sacrifice which flowed used as Dye but first to Die

For the "Red Carpet Treatment'
Must end.
Will end
Now.

The scales fall
From the eyes
Of
Justice

The Media
Hall of Mirrors
Distort Discreetly disclose Nobody

Knows. But subconsciously
Triggered by
The Strife of Tongues

EUREKA...run through the streets
Scream the Naked Truth ..Know It
The simple Revelation..
{Not exclusive to Poets!}

'SEVER THE UMBILICAL CORD'

I am not what you conceived,
Or perceived.. all these years
An extension of yourself
A fragile spirit
Brought callously to tears.

I found this moment. the key
To being me.. hidden so meticulously
By severing the Cord
To set me free...
Free.
This does not mean that I love you less
Though your relentless manipulation
Created a mess

No. Please don't rush to confess
For penance meted out by a man of the flesh.
Look within.. look within
The "indelible" stain,
Obscures the very Perfection
You so boldly...lay
Claim.

'THE MYTH OF THE PROFESSIONAL' {opus 2}

Adulation abounds,
Qualifications astound,
Now with invincible
Confidence, recently
Found.
Embossed, glowingly polished
The trophy plaque displayed fine
Filigree embroidery
To take on "the air"
Of State subsidized, superiority

Parental support.. worked to the bone
To quickly say 'farewell'...and leave them alone.
Logical not lateral
Basic knowledge retention
The reference manual
Well thumbed
No mention
Look intelligent, pre-occupied.. no trivia
Textbook solutions.. clinical for the inferior

Write swiftly and intensely
Plagiarizing ...no one to see
Seriously dispense...a prelude for The Fee,
Flashback.. inner child fear
Force the ritualistic. crocodile tear
To remember the root
of your illustrious
Career

South Africa 2001

'USA- The Wounded Healer '

Part one

Shattered edifices, Heinous
Deadly timed
Accurate, strangely sophisticated, {assisted, not blind......
Did cross my mind}.
Deliberate, pre-meditated,......no space for error. The object...
To usher in.. a wave of
Calculated Terror.
Exploding to scale. symbols of historic "Land of Hope and Glory"
Truth is a superlative........two sides to a story?
Exploding freedom, expose the Superpower...weaker?
Exploding in my mind.............., flashes of Picasso's
Guernica.

Flaming Twin Towers, "exclamation" landmarks ,...roar
Random victims on an ordinary day, now no more.
Cut off from this life ..severed with
The swift precision of
A Surgeon's knife.
In the "twinkling of an eye"
No time to say goodbye
No time for help too stunned to cry.

The Turning Point, the crossroads, the still looming threat,
Of fellow living citizens' Spirit unrest.
A Reality Check ...stay in 'Alert" mode
Easy to prescribe
Be Calm, be vigilant, rest assured. be bold.
The inevitable climax of Universal Consciousness
The reasons fly with astute, learned analysis.
What off the deeper undercurrents...
Tarnished energy and material greed?
Innocent victims in the middle
Sacrificed for maintaining the Comfort Zone
Superiority to Globally lead.

There arises The Devil's Advocate, Master Manipulator fuelling conflicting
Creeds.
Oh! Now look!!..."The Wolves in {designer} Sheep's Clothing"
Motive? To promote Hate and Xenophobic loathing
Paranoia spreads like the WTC flames
Can't you feel it? The rotten games?
A gruesome fight....forcing
Common trust to take flight
To look over your shoulder
And protect
A Cruel Torn Psyche

{South Africa} 2001

'USA --The Hoax, The Decoy..'

part two

The blind suicidal "martyrs"
Believed The Taliban and Bin Laden
Convinced
Will enter Heaven, no doubt, assured
To an Earth -Shaking, heroic thunderous applause
For sacrificing their gift of life {given by God}, to give it
Back to God....through misinterpreted Holy Laws,
{And the lure of The Dollar}
Confirmed publicly an Untruth by respected Islamic Scholars.
For misinterpreting obeying
The
Creator's 'Religious Cause"!

Hypnotically conned by Invisible Warlords
No longer using traditional daggers, horses and swords
Pure logic, twisted, deformed,
Misleading the pitiful gullibility.. families too
Left to Mourn..
The robotic demise of the
Sacrificial pawns.

Islamic Phobia, the Hoax to persist
The pathetic idea you should really resist
That Every Muslim is a sinister 'Terrorist"
With a dogmatic agenda.
Anthrax Letters?
Return internal post..".back to sender"
Who passionately desires your
Terrified Surrender.

That is as Ridiculous as assuming,
With ludicrous laughter,
That Every Roman Catholic
Belongs to the Mafia!!

'USA---Peace...The Un-Plugged Version'

part three

Accept this now then USA,

From
The similar hue heart, of an ex "Black" South African!!
Qualified, no stranger to strife
Coming from an 'Episodic Life"
Speaking as one from the "Rainbow Nation"
We feel your trauma and trepidation.
We feel equally for the Afghan Civilians
And victims Globally who innocently die in senseless Millions

An example, un-plugged
Un-embellished.. the truth
Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu. et al
Had a heady choice when the Evil Apartheid Regime
Fell...Of appeasing the expectations of the World, it seemed
A Choice
Between Peace, Truth, Reconciliation or Falter,
Towards the easy option. Bloody, Revengeful Slaughter.

Turning, painfully with Miraculous Mercy towards Both sides
Who committed atrocities, and spread unfounded Lies
With a 'fair' trial.. excuse the pun
And meted out pardon or punishment for Racist deeds done.

Problems? Oh yes...they really abound
The teething problems of any Government handling inherited debt
Part of the cost of precious Dignity found,
Still servicing the $50billion Apartheid debt
An albatross, an obstacle .a rope around our neck.
Suffice it ,let it lay,
But I'll definitely write about it ,come New Years Day!!

I'm here to say...Take Heart USA.....
For true Freedom. we must, most definitely
Spiritually pray
And route out the Rot, the Parasitic.. Power Mad...
Go right back to Medieval Days
Chain them to The Rack.....Make them pay
They hide...merge in the crowds, then, rear their Ugly Heads...
Spitting Viperous Venom................ a minority of Cowards
'Everything Hidden, will now be Exposed', the Filth that defiled our
Planet
Please remember.....Don't' Ever Forget
That despite the Pain and suffering and Blood that was Let
We remember WTC with you
For this was how Global Goodness was met.

{South Africa} 2001

'A GERIATRIC VALENTINE'

With love mature and sublime
My Reluctant Valentine
Ignore the other suitors who say in an unkind rhyme
That I am "over-the-hill" and
Past my Prime
Although believe that I passionately, persist
I assure you, my dear,
For you....I Exist
My Heart beats for you
My Rosebud ,just for you
Shhhhh...now [hee hee] thou should Harkens
That their are naughty aids
In this day and age
That can be bought by the Carton
I maintain
The same Youthful Vigor
Oh, FORGET.. your "figure"

Well, my teeth now is history, it's over
But rest assured....I'm still a passionate Lover.
{Don't judge a book ...by it's Cover!!!}
Roses now reddened by Genetic Sages,
How the World has changed
Through the Ages!

Imagine a blanket against the Chill of the Air,
We hold hands, behold the sunset, warm, bare..
{Rose-Tinted, my dear!!}
From our favorite Rocking Chairs
Do not despair, my Vintage Valentine
I am yours {My arthritis won't allow me to go on all fours}
Fourteenth of February forever endures
Still un flowered, my eternal Rose
The Valentine of my Life.
Hand picked, tasteful
With Discernment...
I proudly
chose.
