My pen hovered
My brain faltered
I had nothing to write
Was I free
***

A morning wasted
An effort abandoned
A dream starved
Monday
***

A vacuum for thought
A desert for ideas
An ornamental brain
The sum of me
***


Concrete

Paving stones erect as usual
Perpendicular to the road
Their tops crowned
With pavement
Their bodies
Kept apart
By tears of concrete

Lol’d

My future stood
Enticing me,
One meme
At a time,
My success stared.
Watching me
One meme
At a time.
My goals wept
Watching mem
One meme
At a time
I lol'd

Idle

The idle distraction
The active imagination
The loud laughter,
All these
A meme
I have forgotten,
How to burst
Into laughter.
How,
It feels
To wipe tears
How it hurts.
When,
Your ribs
Laugh with you.

Stare

I stood up to tackle
The keyboard.
I fiercely
Starred it down.
Knowing that
My greatness,
Was sacrificed
For its pleasure.

Blinked

I looked over
Wishing for a simple life.
I looked through
Wishing for a visionary life.
I looked over
Wishing  for a memorable life.
I blinked,
Because  I do  not  
Wish to die.

Survival

I stare at my mom
My pen quakes,
Creativity abandons me
Emotions wash over
Am I the best.

I stare at my mom
My eyes moisten,
Bravado betrays me
Selfishness consumes me
Am I the kindest.

I stare at my mom
My heart stops,
Logic fails me
Procrastination wakes me
Am I the keenest. 

Headline

I knew better, a headline taught me

I hated intensely, a headline taught me

I cliche furiously, a headline taught me

I argued loudly, a headline fed me

I became superior, a headline lifted me

The story?

Oh, too boring. 

Mugabe

The country stood up
Cracked its back
Flexed its fingers
The yoke was off.

Mush

His mind trapped
His words drowned
His instinct paralysed
All that he had
Were his eyes.
He watched the world
His trapped pysche,
Rampaged
Ravaged
Turned them
To mush.
