Remember the best

Please don't forget me
Don't set my memory free
Remember the good time we had
Rub out only the bad
We may never kiss again
We may never hug out loud
I may never again hold your hand
Yes, I may never look into your eyes again
So don't forget my face
And don't remember my disgrace
Remember not to recall the plight
The plight that brought our final night
---September 2001
 

Rejuvination....

The flower hugged me the other day
The flower I had long forgotten
I had kept far from her pathway
To keep away the love I had begotten
Her touch brought back a million sensations
Her scent came dressed in many temptations
Her eyes unlocked sweet smelling memories
And her voice replayed ten love stories
But I had to hold it inside
I couldn't pick this flower again
Not after she cause my soul to hide
Not after the strain she caused and drain and pain
I feel all this yet I have my fruit
I have a sweet succulent fruit in my arm
I thought I was sorted and had strong root
But now I'm bombarded by a two-way storm
Though I hold on to the fruit, my eyes
My eyes swing round and land on her
I listen close to the flower's cries
I feel her in me but we'll be together never
----April 2002
 

Perfect Choice

I though I had lost your love forever
When I found myself in foreign water
I lost sleep to retreat but I tread in deeper
Then I submitted for her Call was greater
But now I realize in this I didn't falter
For I found the root of our affection
For ours was beyond norm, 'twas better
Our was a different kind of affection
We're too much alike to tempt fate
For we'd eventually repel and separate
But our commonness make ours great
Of us plutonic love will always dominate
It explains a lot, I think you feel the same
Why we managed to drift with none to blame
Why we never seemed to put out the flame
And why even now we're still in the game
Of all your kind, 'tis you I'm close to
Not the kind of cuddy close pose
Not the kind that makes me buy a dozen roses
But the kind of close that makes us close
That cause less pain, strain & plenty warm rain
The kind that lasts longer than forever
----July 2002
 

Philosophy 101

The third world today is what the ‘first world’ was centuries ago. Back then the Angles fought the Saxons fought the Romans fought the Gauls in the same way that Kenyan tribes do. People had the same mistrust, the same biases, the same misconceptions that we have. And they have taken hundreds of years to work through their misguidance and become Europeans.

Yet even now, there are still light and not-so-light jokes about the Irish and the Germans and the English and the French. America is like the UK in teenage – wild, loud and rebellious. The very concept of America is a conscious revolt against everything British, from language, to political systems, to geographical names. Yet the teen, with his Mohawk and piercings and crazy hair, has many elements of the adult. Old American policies of slavery, Native Indian land-use and immigration are an uncanny mirror of the colonist systems of The Empire.
