Unpave
Building my yellow brick road brick by brick
Making sure every brick I lay is perfectly aligned
Polished and shined according to my divine self
I take care of my road because who else ?
Will put the time, effort and care into building me
Each step I take the first brick I put into place gets further away
It’s a bitter sweet scene all the love and hardships I put into that fi...

Nature's Wedding
Let the melodious song
of the numerous creatures
that reside here with us along,
in the lands and the skies
guide our light feet.
Step forward,
and bathe in the light of the sun.
As she blesses our love
and ignites our skins and soul.
In this bittersweet moment,
tinged sour by all that could have been,
should have been ours,
let us surrender our hearts

Spirit Of Freedom
I see the flag
Bright colors
Swaying tall and proud and
Remember that it is smeared
With the blood
Of the hundreds of thousands
Who bought the Freedom
At a heavy cost
Their selfless sacrifice
To make India a sovereign
Is this all what Freedom is about?
Isn't Freedom Subjective
And a lot more than
Stop bowing to a foreign rule?
Freedom to come out
Of the shackles of Bondage
Of P...

Turning Africa’s Horn to its arm
A gigantic dam is born
In the backwater Africa’s horn
For long that was war-torn.
A grand dam is born
In the avenue of
Affluence, steps, pushing,
The shunned Africans ahead
To penetrate the global market
Hot red, “The only we!”
For long that fed.
Of course, GERD heralded
Equitable utilization of resource
On hypocrites debarring a chance
In fa...

You are not alone.
[ ] Even through the deep pain, shame, regret & great sorrow.
[ ] Keep well living there is always a tomorrow.
[ ] Fight! Go towards the light, not the dark road.
[ ] We know the burden is heavy on you & has a strong hold.
[ ] And it's not and easy thing to defeat or let go.
[ ] Beware of your health it's taking on a great toll.

Circumambulation
I May Be Wrong
I may be wrong but I’ll say it anyway
surely that is the point.
Jung’s theory of circumambulation says
“Give it a go”
Follow that glimmering thing
that interests you
down the path of development.
Heed the call to adventure
let new parts of you manifest.
Be the fool as precursor to
the Jedi master.
It’s an error ridden process

Legacies (A poetic one scene drama)
Introduction before the curtain is opened.
-->The introducer addresses the audience.
Instead of none-stop
Condemning the past
Let us do our part
To lift our country
From economic morass fast.
Better than licking a wound,
Taking corrective measures
On former leaders’ mistakes
We could
Capitalizing, on what
They did good.
(Open Curtain)
--> Enters Emperor Tewodros II

Miss Nancy Robinson
My now long gone Auntie Nancy
My ants in her pants Auntie Nance
Her ideas for me set before I was born
She said "I hope he's a devil, a cheeky little devil"
Then always beside me from that day on
Encouraging that little devil to push his cheeky boundaries
Another mother for me alongside her closest sister
Mother to hundreds through her caring ways
Dedicated carer of Liverp...

Distilling from the past making tomorrow bright
Forefathers shedding blood
In a spectacular
Bravery and unity
Heralded
"A violated-not sovereignty
And self confidence"
For posterity!
What is more
An unpolluted culture
And intact identity!
Thus, maintaining integrity
And hard-preserved identity
Getting poverty and lack
Behind our back,
For the coming generation
We have to pave the track
With Mega projects Like
--GERD--
