CITY GARBAGE COLLECTOR

Do not despise me,
Do not cover your nose
And spit when you see me
Am just a city garbage collector looking for bread for my table

My clothes are tattered but not my mind
I eat dirt with my mouth but not my soul
My body sleeps in the cold wild but not my heart
Am just a city garbage collector I live I have a life too

Poor pay, poor healthcare, poor education
Poor housing, poor security, poor infrastructure
Poverty poverty, cheap politics, cheap thoughts, cheap life
Am just a city garbage collector, I have a voice I am human

You raise my taxes then raise your pay
In swampy deals and scandals you swim
The law, the vice you use to blindfold, bind and intimdate us
 Am just a city garbage collector, I have a voice

WHITE CHRISTMAS

  WHITE CHRISTMAS How I wish I was old enough (not as Poe though) and bucks flowing through my pocket on a vacation with my hot dame out slowly melting fats on the white sands of some paradise else-where. What a silly dream though? For a moment I stop to wonder why human daydreams and fantasies are spooky than their nightmares. If I had a David Hurley I wouldn’t want anyone on it on such a day but few packets, some sausages, ham and some rum too for the love of the wild country road and its charming roaring winds. I wouldn’t mind to listen to the voice messages the day after in my cold mountain log cabin as sparrows and squeals of the day before fill the pregnant ether. Usually I‘m not a wet blanket so if I woke up at ten with drops of ethane and wormwood still suspended in my uppercase inhaling what the a stranger in my bed is exhaling,clearly,the carols would remind me which day it was before finally being blinded by red. Two almost three decades that have melted into sweet  or

Fallen god. If these streets loved you And time was your only friend Ooh fallen god The stars would have dimmed and fallen from space And the sun died from obsolescence and jealousy If only chance fell in to your constant seductions Wishes would have been witnesses and not horses Of dreams not in slumber but in sober, conscious broad day light thought The whispers of thought would be too loud  For every blind eye to see Enough to instantly drown despair In a fraction of a nanosecond And reserve for me among the gods In history books my name in unerasable ink I would rule the universe if I had chance But I rule my universe, am a fallen god

  A WALK INTO TIME, A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME.   It’s 2021 and I am going through a thought in time but I don’t know how long it has been or how old it is the moment I’m reviewing this. Were it wine it would have grown richer in taste, darker in tone and would now be able to raise the taste buds by sheer anticipation at the mention of the name. If it were Italian gorgonzola or swiss cheese the bucks would’ve gone up steadily. Sometime back a couple of months or years ago if I am not wrong didn’t know then that I know now. A thought flashed through my mind and I thought it could be brilliant idea that could make a TED talk (I rarely listen or watch them because of reasons best known to me). It was about time. The thought slipped into the blues but till today about now it still lingers in my subconscious mind as it has come to prove. I hold curious views about the subject matter for very complex reason that I cannot be able to substantiate physically. I don’t know how I may validate t
