CASTRATED BOW

To the wielder of chalkWho approximate to zeroWhen dissected love, pleasure gushesOccupy the oath of thought to be taught




To the chameleon living on the
Mountain; changed into the colour
Of the rock, whose skin shakes off circumstances

To you I bow
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow

To those who purge out our happiness;
Replaced with carved signs of pain
Sprinkled ashes of sadness and melancholy
Tortured blood tinted into hydra- heart attacks
Deliberate cultivators who steal

And hide their own produce
And pour burnt grasses into plates
Of the tongue-waters-downs,
To eat, groan and become the tongue-stick-outs.

To you I bow
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow.

To those who turn us to rough papers- wetted
Then squeezed;
Thrown into the dust bin of nonsense and Poohs:
Eyeless and earless
Neckless and headless

To you I bow
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow.

To the feet that walk to the holy place
Running after mirageous heaven, such holy race!
Who dwell with no heart
And live without breath
Who sing without tongue
And serve with no sign.
Who hiss at sit-by-sides.

To you I bow,
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow.

To the wielder of chalk
Who approximate to zero
When dissected love, pleasure gushes
Occupy the oath of thought to be taught
In their thinking chambers- rotten mamba
Who like the teeth of a lion devour
Fresh meats thrown to mix with educational dust.

To you I bow,
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow.

To the shaky-bum-bum
Who take in like a yummy rum rum!
Who swallow hearts and break their tightened hearty ropes
And turn them into tears maches of pampered smelly dirty socks.

To you I bow,
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow.

I said,
To you I bow,
But now, know that to bow is no way to bow...!

God and The Snail: Poetry For Some One Lost Soul

Sometimes it feels Like all is done, That this life of ours Is caught in deadly thorns: From where we cry for help in a land Where to have ears is a great taboo! But in all these... we remember...

WHO DOES THIS BELONG TO? By MIDÉ BENEDICT

This is for those Who see life as an unfair land, Where growth is fairly found only On luck's fragile and ferocious tree: It is for those whose eyes only See reality as a coin Always tossed to uncertainty: For those who see misery As an inescapable ditch, Never to be seen when its mouth agars, Never to be escaped when its venom runs, But to be delivered like a slave for a ritual, Thrown like a cotyledon into dry soil, To germinate failure like a blocked well, Hoping to salvage a droughty throat. For those whose first name is lucky, Whose last name is uncertainty And middle name misery, Know that which you know not that The poison in your tongue is The wine your life drinks; It drinks on and on till stupor calls for death And stupidity dresses its grave Like a young man before a mirror, Staring unthinkingly at his face, Till he sees greyness in his eyes. This is for those who see eye to eye With the words on this slate. Image by Midé Benedict

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle     T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover.    Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than   Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot;                    Mountains tied to your legs   While eyes go dark                    As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light;            What a freedom!
