A life Like Damn

Image from Marina Shatskih

You uphold gentleness,
Bullies tag along;

You observe righteousness,
Troubles follow you;

You love, like really love,
They eat your heart;

The silent knows,
What the quiet says;

The wise understand,
What the learned speaks;

The lonely feels, the lonely sees,
The art in beauty;

Half

Image from GEORGE DESIPRIS

I can’t have both, and I can’t half me;

I love one, and want no other;

Sometimes maybe, but not a lifetime;

These two will pass, and this too shall pass;

Give me a loan, and leave me alone;

I do want some, I want the awesome;

I want two, because I can, too;
Down in me, is a will to be great;
Upload in me, the keys to greatness;

Inspire in me, a higher philosophy;
Fill in me, the desire for altruism;
But please, let me remain humble;

The genius of a woman

THE GENIUS OF  A WOMAN
Image from pexels.com

Baby you are the best, you are the very best;
I wonder how you know all this construction stuff;
You really are a genius, the others are just caretakers;


Honey you are very intelligent, why don’t they listen to you?
You were born to code the perfect and intelligent software;
Your fellows will perish if they don’t take note of your words.


Darling you are handsome, like really cute;
You are slim, light skinned and strong;
You are an embodiment of manly perfection;


Sweetheart you are the man, a real African man;
You got a big potbelly like a real (odi) boss;
Forget the slay boys, you are the true African gentleman;


You got a good heart my husband, an honest conductor;
You treat passengers with respect, and never short charge them;
The driver is the one who mistreats the passengers.


You are a genius driver my man;
You know all the road rules and follow them to dot;
Your calling is to save animal lives by ambulancing them.


You are a business guru my love;
While the others are in business, business is in you;
You carry a true entrepreneurial revolution;


God resides in you my husband, a legendary pastor;
Everyone else is a sinner, and you are our shepherd;
You got a spiritual calling, not like other fake pastors.


Baby you are a very professional accountant;
You do maths like it’s no brainer;
Your employer needs to salute you for single-handedly keeping the company afloat.


Honey you are a scientist from another planet;
You know stuff that we have not discovered;
You are Albert Einstein incarnate.


Beb you’re so wise, and charming, and fun;
You make a woman feel important and loved;
I know you will have money and be rich one day;


Swits you a hustler, a real genius hustler;
You take care of our bills by betting;
I know you will one day hit the jackpot;


You are the greatest doctor in Africa currently;
You treat even diseases you don’t understand;
It’s like God works inside you and through you;


Darling you are the most powerful man;
You battled your opponents and won the election.
If they say you rigged, why didn’t they?

Lines of Weakness

I did notice the lines of weakness;

They were not necessary in the solid wall;

So why does evil exist? It doesn’t!

There is just an empty space, like a line of weakness;

The empty space is a will, the free will;

It’s how far we can will, so damn little;

We could be perfect, we could be strong;

We would be all the same, we would be one;

We would all fall once, if we ever did;

We would be weakened by the strength;

So we needed to be individuals;

We needed to be weak;

We needed to be free;

Then we wanted to be selfish, to occupy another’s space;

Then we wanted to be unloving, love was monotonous;

So there is no evil, we just desire evil;

We are not molded to desire evil, we are just free to choose it.

Evil is what is adjacent good;

Evil is pricking your neighbor;

Evil is not loving your neighbor;

Evil is what we would not like done unto us;
