Silhouettes
Black
should be our only hue.
Colors,
is divisive.
We’re just silhouettes
of the Sun.
***
Inclined
I saw a boy,
carrying a huge
basket of green
Bananas
on his back,
walking down
the mountain
path.
He smiled at me.
I felt the weight.

Daggers & Visions
I had a vision, seeing the world from the top.
I could be a filthy rich in a flying chariot
or a wandering soul.
What’s the difference?
I have been given the opportunity to choose;
Heaven or hell?
A gun store to my left and a candy shop to my right.
A dagger to the chest.
I passed by a homeless man, begging for money.
I kept walking.
I turned back, and he was gone.
People are dying!
A young boy wears an oversized
White shirt
With four bullet holes.
His elder brother…
A man; in thrill
gunned down in the street.
The doll and ball in his hands fell
to the wet ground.
Children; weeping.
Idolatry,
Politics,
Self-righteousness and greed.
Daggers!
Estrangement,
Fear,
Silence and solitude.
Visions.
