Elephants Minds

Misplaced focus I found myself but lost out, Because I wasn't paying attention. The world seemed simple, As I went after ghost. The car I loved, I got it through ghost. The house I built, I built through ghost. Maybe it was all a dream. All vanished like steam. Now on failures brim. It all ended like a film. Written by Rhema

     Thursday picture prompt The soil's son I 've been despised and criticized Still I'll follow my heart Deep down to the place I fantasize Notwithstanding their thoughts of me going the wrong path. With high hopes and dreams My future pictured in reality Boulevard encaved by tall trees My own Trinity!!! If only looks could kill.. Their Hearts would be fed to the beasts; My lips would seal their will. I've learned to use my fist while dancing in the feast. What if I'm not the only one? With an unbearable lack... I'm the son of the soil's son I'm African..; I'm black!!! Written by A.O . Benedicta DARK PART OF THE WORLD. The sun rises from the east, Bearing them a light of joy, Happiness is all they see, For they are born with silverspoon Taking from a pauper's dream. Some are born like a king, With an abode where gold stream. Some are born like an eagle, With feather to soar above darkness, pain, poverty, and sadnes...

FIST FIGHT. Dews are few But it's tinny sparkling bubble Makes every grass new, Dami took away all my trouble. Our union semblative of soil and trees Every time she deck out of the car Dressed to kill I lose a knot in my head. This beauty took my heart, Next to my heart is where she sat. 'twas quick, death paid us a visit, Serve a dish that she did eat. Why Dami? "You're coming" in my head it's still ringing, All I see is the pieces of you Scattered the length and breadth of the same road. The same road you kissed me yesterday, You should have told me "you're not here to stay" I would have just walked away, perhaps worked out a way. Now my bed is now packed with snow, There's no you to keep me warm in the cold. Why Death? Ugly face, steeped crown tips and rotten feet, You can't even say hello Without people crying. Can't you hug without people going 6feet low? You took away my joy, Made grain happiness. ...

        LORD FORGIVE MY SOUL Time is an endless ocean, That stream from the past to the future. Am like a sheperd in a club, Dining with the devil. Slowly with a deep heart I cloth myself with a garment of evil, With my dream moving like a creeple. Lord forgive my soul. Though I preach like a pope To those angels with double hole. My mouth a light And beneath my lap Lives a pole, Always  for a stroll. Lord forgive my soul, Let not my soul be cast away, Like beautiful holly. Let my heart love your way. Bear a Light to my falling soul, With a shelter far away from a ban-owl . Soon summer will bid adieu And winter will say hello. Clothed with darness, Time will detest my age. Will I dwell beneath a bed of stone, And draw a sorrowfull map on my page. The world is a book Full of different words. Strikingly did I look Till I lost my vocal cord, For those lassies With a big ball. Behind this darkness, My soul glued to a beautifull hole,...
