Utopia


I'll not play Tug O'war,
I'd rather play Hug O'war;
I desire a world where everyone hugs
Instead of pulls and tugs.

Where everyone smiles and giggles
Rolling on the rug like kids.
Where blacks, coloured and whites kisses.
Where mutual respect bubbles.

Where everyone grins from cheek to cheek
And cuddles.
Where I loose, you win
And together share our joys and troubles.

Where you and I
Savour the heat of the passion,
When we roughen the sheets,
Proving love ain't shit.
making love betwixt nations.

Where fights are pillow fights;
None hurt, all are cheerleaders.
Where racism is a word for car race
Where wars and war of words
are but open mic face-offs

My fair utopia
Where fame floats fairly on the floor 
for the influential and poor - 
alike

A world with less stress and tears.
Where tolerance is the air we breathe
Where opposites meet and have no beef
Where North the South embrace.

My fair utopia
not a bleached black of masked malice
not a cloaked cloud of stormy showers
but rainbow lines 

of genuine smiles

On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Dear Son Try to forget that nothing waits in the dark, raise your shoulder high wave off the frea and step into that lane. Won't you rather be gone in there than stay out here playing the coward? Get up now, son everyone falls. #Pengician #SSA http://bit.ly/2haEhoj

Featured Poem: Slavery In Africa - by Uwen Precious Ogban

SLAVERY IN AFRICA We believe they rowed their boats of tumults into our region; carrying with them bags of conundrums, while we drummed our drums and jollied to their, intonation. The way they dressed, the way they addressed us Made us mime to the harmony and yearns in their speeches of a dawn to civility and hale: that was a start of the course of slavery in Africa. We still thought they were our brothers, because our chiefs rolled floridly with their proposals While we were mockingly disposed of In the field, or given to bespoken tailors as apprehends; as helps; in servitude; ‘posed to carry out orders as the come in flicks. We became babies in our own motherland we became cartage of their foreign plans. We cleared our huts so that they could find comfy and build on our strengths draining our tears as they wryly whipped us on our backs. Their wisdom their prowess They used to molest And we gazed in cluelessness Cause we still didn’t see it as slavery then – but as pain, so enjoyable....
