WHEN THE THUNDER STRIKES

I cannot imagine
The pain that will sink itself
Into the senses of those
Whose quest is to care less for
When the thunder strikes.

When the thunder strikes!
When the thunder strikes!
Is a time when some jaws will
Unmarry themselves,
Eyes unlock from their place of birth and death,
When the tongue will no longer
Dance around in the mouth,
When the heart will stop
For when the thunder strikes,
All thoughts stop
All movements seize
All whimpers go silent.

Don't forget when the thunder strikes
For when it strikes only you will be affected,
But many may tag along.

Ignore or adore
when the thunder strikes
Does it matter?
For the thunder must strike
Everyone who feeds the lungs.

But before the thunder strikes
Become that one who will wake
Again after the thunder strikes.

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!
