What's wrong with this world? Corruption's festering wound, chaos consuming us whole Hatred burning like wildfire, leaving hearts to stone When will we wake from this greedy slove? Blinded by the lure of money, fame, and power we roam I don't hate you, sister, though we've been torn apart Born from...Read more

"Morning walkers have purpose to fulfill, they are moving on to the battlefield, they try to survive and strive to come back whole." "Evening walkers, hmm?" He sighed.

Tomorrow came, and I sat with him before the sun rose at dawn. A first person walked by – nothing occurred. A second, and many more passed, yet I couldn't find the uniqueness of it all. I turned when the man cleared his throat, "Do you see something?" he asked me. I shook my head, and he...Read more

Passing the same route every day, I see this same man. Every time, his arms folded on his chest, Sitting on his old plastic chair, Watching, observing, seeing. At 05:30 am, I decided to leave home earlier than before, To see if he'd be there by that time. And he sat there, like he never ...Read more

His brown curly hair dripped water slow, Slender nose, plump lips – her heart did know. His muscled body towered by her side, As shower water poured, her gaze would reside.

You think you're lucky I hold my tongue, That keeps me from speaking what's been done. You believe you're the only one who feels, But if I shared my mind, you'd quickly reveal.

We have eyes, yet we do not see, When we look, recognition flees. Occasionally, when sight breaks through, We realize too late what we once missed anew . Regret lingers for not gazing deeper still, For the blind navigate without sight's will, Yet we, with eyes, overlook what's plain, We gaze at th...Read more

"They're so good," some people said. We used to hold hands, now we have bans. Maybe my memories failed, Of our pictures nailed. It shouldn't have ended this way, Even till today, I still don't understand why, Why us? The center of everyone's envy, Now separated by a reason I cannot remember. Perha...Read more

She slumped on the sofa, words barely above a whisper: "I feel like I'm drowning in this noise, apathy's my refuge, yet somehow it still matters." I searched for comforting words, but they felt hollow. "'It's going to be okay,'" I said, hoping she'd believe. She raised an eyebrow, a mix of pain and ...Read more

Imagine a world consumed by despair, Where strength is measured by the weak they impair, Yet in their supposed might, they can't face their own fears, Haters of hope, doubters of self-worth, bringing only tears. They feed on negativity, spreading darkness and pain, Ambassadors of destruction, with n...Read more

"Oh, Mama Africa, my heart aches for you, You nurtured us from scratch, with love true, Hoping knowledge and wisdom we'd imbue, But greed and wickedness consumed us, it's true. We forget we're from the same womb, despite our hue, Genes, color, and language may differ, but we're one, too. Mama Afri...Read more
