WE ARE NOT MILITANTS !
We are not
militants
Neither are we
criminals
Our mothers named
us
Good names of hope
not yours of “kleptorians”
We are not
militants
We are those who
you left for, the remnant!
From the gain of
our natural torment
We are not
militants
We are those you
treated like tenants
In our own home of
natural abundance
We are not
militants
We are those who
you fed with the ruminants
From the portion
of your colossal puncture
Left with us
nothing to venture
We are not
militants!
We are patriots of
our compatriots
Who you tied with
thrust
And left in the
road of concussion to rot
We are not
militants
We believe in one
nation,
Unity in
diversity,
But you! You
forgot sincerity!
We are not
militants
We dream and crave
for peace at all times
But when you make
peaceful resolution impossible
Then, we make
violent resolution inevitable
We are not
militants
We crave for
happiness
But how can we be
happy
when we
circumambulate in the shackles of pain!

THE PIOUS ERRAND
Thee!!!
For I know
Yee are the omnis
Who takes side for
the pious
Take my side...
Grant all my
wishes!
Send your dove
For thou should
rove
To perch on my
anonymous lover
And drink from her
water
Tell her to keep
calm
That all these
thin seasons
Will soon be over
Send your swallow
Twitter to my fary
fellows
Tell them to worry
not
And remember their
halos
That there is
light
To fight the
shadow
A song of comfort
to the widows
Send your phoenix
To the bachelors
For so many
choices
Are only
disappointment
To the spinsters
For so many faces
Staring at their
shoe laces
Are facade of
decay
Send your angels
To the mothers
That all their
wandering
Days are over
The joys of
motherhood
Is knocking on
their rusty doors.

A TRIAL
If all dreams are
horses
I will ride down
to your heart
To deliver my
colossal feeling for you
If all wishes are
journey
I will travel down
to the horizon
By passing through
the green pasture
To elope you to my
side
If all dreams and
wishes
Are mere allusion
I will sit by the
pacific ocean
To show my titanic
affection
I don't claim that
I am
The best for you
Just give me a
trial to test
If I am an option
Of affection or
infatuation.
