low tide




i am back, again, to sit

on the rock in middle

of the flowing river

surging, splashing waves



after rising water;

the young men

and plenty of damsels

among them future rulers



too, walking through

the hub mall as i sit

to watch my muse

swelling in low tide

Insanity


Yesterday
With might and main I laboured
To diligently learn the art
Of lengthening simple shoes
For the ever expanding
Tiny feet of my little daughter
 
Today
I am frighteningly tormented
To discover the contemporary wisdom
Of conveniently cutting feet
To fit useless foot-wears
Made by the reigning professionals
 
Disagreeing
With the modern overnight professors,
I am very assertively informed,
By their cowardly counsellors,
Is plain insanity
Fit enough only for dismissal
 
Ethnic cleansing
In the political arena is easy answer
For those wolfish rulers
Greedily striving to firmly establish
Corruptive power and stinking business
Instead, dealing positively, the prevailing pluralism
