With my mind in a prison
With
perception clouding my vision
I
looked, but failed to see.
Though
presented with precision
The
message, I could not envision
It was
double-dutch to me.

15 Years Of Versing ... 680 Poems
15 years ago, I wrote my first poem.
15 years on, with 680 poems on varied topics and a world-wide audience, I celebrate joyously.
In all humility, I thank the Untampered-With Sacred Divine Source for providing the resources to make the impossible, possible.
Thank you Cuz Joao! your contribution in making my poems known across Continents, is priceless.
Thank you! friends, associates, acquaintances and family, your acknowledgement of my efforts has shored up my confidence.
First Love ... Last Love ... Only Love ...

(a rough translation:
O happiness, be a little kind to me too, I am tired of hiding my sorrow under the guise of laughter.)

Painstakingly hand-crafted ......
My right hand shakes when BP’s high,
Plus, I've no vision in one of my eyes,
These limitations contribute to the resulting shapes,
That from imperfections arise.

Is Silence The Safer Option Or A Cowardly One?
This poem essays the dilemma faced by the protagonist when
they come face-to-face with the acts of weaponized cruelty and bias crime.
They have been brought up in a faith that encourages speaking out
against injustice.
If the protagonist takes a stand against the above, they know that there
is the possibility of trouble for themselves, their lives changing drastically.
The protagonist is anxious and fearful and questions if they will be
protected by their God if they follow the path set out by Him.
If they choose the path of silence, will they be acting out of cowardice?
