Welcome to the words and visions of VERSO...

Here you see three poems from my proposed book "The Living Word". My poetry is not pious, pretentious wordmanship for the self-selected elite. I write for those that have neither the love nor experience of poetry but have a taste for truth and experience through art and creativity of all forms.

Here's one from my section on "Mind" (mental)

LAMB & PORK



Your ignorance is astounding
Your head is pounding
into crumbling walls
Wailing calls
through history
Billing for superiority
Willing for animosity
Killing for sovereignty
Children dream
Children scream
classroom rhetoric and abuse
at the racist regime
that should have learnt
Nationhood was taken
not earnt
How many is too many
bodies burnt
Families destroyed
Decimated
Segregated
Wholly demonstrated
the jealousy and greed
that fuelled the hatred
in the guarded ghetto
Berlin
Warsaw
Palestine
Soweto
Incarcerated
in a horror show
Imprisoned egos
let go
Rulers without heart
Rules that tore relations apart
Tempest zones
Temple thrones
Temper hones
Throwing stones
that carry dissent
Burying bones
in holes for rent
Earthbound
not heaven sent
without the wisdom found
and required to learn
they recycle the karma
within each turn
Avenge
Revenge
Return
to slash and burn
Retribution sought
as a justifiable solution...
denying the opportunity
of blessed absolution
A biased constitution
Broken promises
invite the nemesis
Lambs sacrificed
for pigs in palaces.
