…AND THE DOVE SUNG

Insecurity continued to rise in a once peaceful nation until all hell broke loose. Negative ethnicity, religious, social, political differences amongst others fueled terrible hatred amongst the people and this caused major divisions on our nation. When finally civil unrests broke out, they were genocidal and they run unabated until a full scale civil war resulted with an everlasting devastation upon our society.

…AND THE DOVE SUNG

Corpses everywhere lay so scattered

By them the whole city was littered

The city was overwhelmed by an aura of gloom

Negative Ethnicity had literally sealed our doom

The result; we even had a very segmented police and army

And this nurtured in our nation a horrible internal enemy

Ethnicity to our dear nation was so sinister

And civil unrest began some days before Easter

Members of different social classes descended upon each other

Everybody seemed to be baying for the blood of one another

People everywhere seemed to shun all forms of brotherhood

There was no peace but war only in every neighborhood

Grisly acts occurred in every corner of our dear town

Buildings were looted and bombed and burnt down

There were even rumors of cannibalism

There were horrible acts of vandalism

One haberdasher was slaughtered like a goat

And he drank his blood he who cut his throat

Upon seeing me he confiscated my video recorder

Saying my action was against a certain civic order

Many of my fellows were murdered in cold blood

And on a certain street, blood flowed like a flood

There was no more the fundamental freedom of expression

National broadcasts only served to increase the tension

The war; no one won and no one lost

But the results were historically the worst

Peace reigned only when there was none to battle

And for the remnants there was no where to settle

And the dove sung but a sepulchral dirge

There was nothing else it could manage

A Sad LOVE story!

This is the story of my life, the story of love. In my quest for true love I underwent so many experiences with my lovers. I was determined to find true love and so I did not give up even after becoming a womanizer. I was lucky to eventually meet a faithful lady who I got married to. But thinking I had arrived in heaven, I ended up in hell. Read on…

A SAD LOVE STORY

I just feel so sorry

Due to this story

A story of love

When I was naïve

At genesis was one beautiful than a peacock

But she had a heart harder than any rock

My true love for hear was utterly in vain

She later caused in my heart terrible pain

She finally infected me with syphilis

She whose sweet name was Seraphillis

Then came this lass whose name was Margaret

When it came to making love she was great

But sweet Margaret kicked the bucket

While undergoing her usual daily racket

Cursed be the driver of Nissan KAK four thirty three

I swear! He should be hanged on a big tree!

For terminating her young life prematurely

Due to His reckless driving that was so silly!

I fell in love with a lesbian from Palestine

Who lied to me her name was Celestine

To this day I even don’t know her name

For her who no man was able to tame

Then I met a sylph whose name was Janet

I literally swept her into my private love net

But whatever got into her tiny illiterate head

Left our budding relationship completely dead

Then came a whore by the name purity

But she offered my love as men’s charity

Then I fell for a peroxide blonde named Winnie

She was truly a real true love genie

You would think not of her being so old

For she strived to transform herself to Gold

I become such a failure in our finance

When she finally jilted me, I felt very nice

I just feel so sorry

Due to this story

A story of love

When I was naïve

Then I decided to fall in love with many

I would open myself to the full to any

From the brothel to the church

Of the ladies I knew so much

But I was crazy enough to fall for a man

He thought himself as a true woman

He called himself, “Joy the virgin spinster”

And enjoyed being called, “Queenic sister”

Finally I decided to enter into holy matrimony

I was weary of being in love with so many

I became a very devoted roman catholic

To everybody that act was quiet historic

I married beautiful Virginia the child of a minister

But our marriage became such a total disaster

She turned out to be the devil’s own daughter

Due to her, I solemnly swore by the heavens above

I nincompoop Tony, never again shall I fall in love.

OLD DOCTOR FOX

There are those people who are in very prestigious positions in the society e.g. doctors, politicians, leaders, etc. Some people misuse their title just to get money but do not care how they do their job or the outcome. But these same people are the ones who are quick to condemn other hardworking people of poor performance. They also do everything as to make those who are in their power to lead a miserable life e.g. exploitation, contempt etc. Such are the ones depicted in this little humorous poem. Read on.

OLD DOCTOR FOX

This doctor Fox was so many years old

Yet still had the handsomeness of gold

His maid-servant was a one beautiful mouse

Together they lived in a magnificent house

His house majestically stood on a high hill

And all his long life he never was ill

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

He was a doctor for all the beasts and birds

He put on his specs and he used big words

He felt the pulse, and then he looked mighty wise

He pulled out his watch and he shut both his eyes

He grabbed his hat and he grabbed up his cane

Then “blam”, went the door, he was gone like a train

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

One time a one mister lion fell very ill

In his lonely bed he weakly lay very still

Too much of young pig, too much of old pig

Too much of every animal which is so big

He was as near dead as so near being born

And he weakly lay seemingly so forlorn

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Mister lion he groaned, mister lion he growled

While Mrs. Lion and the children just howled

Old Doctor Fox took out his tool, Mr. Lion to lance

He pierced mister lion till it made him prance

Then he grabbed up his hat and grabbed up his cane

“Blam”, went the door, he was gone like a train

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

But the very following day mister lion died

When they told doctor fox, he just scratched his head

“If persons get well or if persons get worse

Money got to come into old doctor fox’s purse,

Not for what folks do, but for what they know

Do the folks get paid” and fox laughed low

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Old doctor fox’s maid-servant the beautiful mouse

Was never out of doctor fox’s magnificent house

She always cooked very sweet food

Her job was always done very good

But to old doctor fox she was a servant and a wife

And in his house she lived a very bitter life

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Doctor Fox used to tell poor beautiful miss mouse

Who was never out of his magnificent house

“Folks get paid, for a job well done,

But you never did anything fine.”

But beautiful miss mouse could not go anywhere

Circumstance had forced her to remain there

This very old doctor fox

Knew all of his country folks

Living in Harmony

There are people who in this world do not believe in living in harmony. This is due to many differences that includes tribal, cultural, financial and much more. The story that is told in the poem below is to serve to teach us how to live in harmony with those who we believe are different from us and thus unworthy to live with us. It is very important to learn to live in harmony with everyone in the society.

Enjoy.

Living in Harmony

Mr. Dog, Mr. Cat and meek Mr. Mouse

Together they live in one small house

Their friendship is greater that the sun shine

And to them life on earth is just very fine

Much as they so much love their dear wives

They love helping each other in their lives

Mr. Dog’s wife is nursing three puppies

And recently she bought numerous nappies

For Mrs. Cat’s kittens she gave her ten

For Mrs. Mouse who gave birth so often

She gave her two score and eight

And teased her, “Stop sexing every night”

Mr. Mouse went into his account to withdraw some money

On his way home, he bought a barrel of honey

On reaching home, Mrs. Cat joyfully welcomed him

He asked,” is everybody really in the farm?”

Mrs. Cat answered, “Yes they are all planting rice”

Mr. Mouse commented, “Wow! That is very nice”

Then he subdivided his honey into three equal parts

For his family, for dogs’ and for the cats

One kitten once became very ill

And this caused much sorrow to all

Amongst themselves they passed the hat round

They really wanted miss kitten to be sound

They had her admitted in a private hospital

But her tropical fever got much fatal

She got much worse and she finally died

They all mourned and they bitterly cried.
