Koi
Chinese Carp swimming
in prestigious ornamental tank
prestige purchased expensively
for luck for tradition for prestige.
If you were ravenously hungry
would you eat lucky carp?
Would starving poor people
among you eat it gladly?
Koi - a carp with red-gold or white coloring, kept as an aquarium or ornamental pond fish. Native to Japan and temperate regions of East Asia.
Latin name: Cyprinus carpio

Britains Got Talent
It all started off in 1991,
When, oh yes, Briton WON!
So, other countries stand aside,
Because you know that we all wont collide!
You know we have got talent, America,
And Asia, Paris too,
We know we have got talent,
We are so much better than you,
So give up, all you lot,
Because you must have lost the plot,
Because were better than you,
China and Russia too!
So why dont you watch us.......

Screws And Plugs!
The River Styx,
Thriller!
Small-ear elephants for Asia and,
Big-ear elephants for Africa! !
But, i am under the lovely arms of love.
Screws and plugs!
But, different materials require different types of things;
However, the demons went into the pigs.
Black listed!
You have no respect for other people;
So, let Yahweh be the judge and,
Let us all uphold His Laws! !
For, it is time to change for the better in this land.

The Best Poets
The best poets
Are not born yet;
Come to Africa,
America, Asia.
There are poets
Of old; renown,
Yet there are
More unknown.
Wordsworth and
Shakespeare differs;
Soyinka and Clark
Are philoshers.
Prose, poetry,
And photography
Are all seperate things
But they paint the world,
And immortalise memory,
Yet leave the observer
Out in oblivion.
But invention

Braggart
someday i will be poor.
it will happen, someday i will be very poor.
and you will be rich, and happy and proud
and influential and famous
and be in the cover of Forbes Magazine
perhaps Times
for your exemplary charity
or Asia week for your nobility
and humanitarian projects
perhaps the Pope will make you Saint Marjorie
someday i will be poor, in fact, poor as the poorest rat,
but i know
i will still, and cannot still love you real.

Dilemma of Wit
She says modernity goes
Literature is a collage earthen
New names brought to the village
Hundred years in amnesia
Goodies invent genres
Red peppers the Portuguese brought
British sign posts elongated
A girl was once hired by the company
To rob the miners of their money
Who were caving the longest tunnel in Asia
Vulgarity is the name other of wit
Humor of the sycophant
Freedom of expression espoused well
How we learn languages afar

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

Civilization—spurns—the Leopard!
492
Civilization—spurns—the Leopard!
Was the Leopard—bold?
Deserts—never rebuked her Satin—
Ethiop—her Gold—
Tawny—her Customs—
She was Conscious—
Spotted—her Dun Gown—
This was the Leopard's nature—Signor—
Need—a keeper—frown?
Pity—the Pard—that left her Asia—
Memories—of Palm—
Cannot be stifled—with Narcotic—
Nor suppressed—with Balm—

Scarecrow
Scarecrow
A symbol for Asia
All over the fields
In this vast continent
In all shapes and poses
Guarding the staples
Turning away pests
Day in and day out
Blown by the wind
Blast by the rain
With not even a single sigh
Though the birds flutter umpteenth times
Twittering hymns of impatience
The straw men with their arms
Twisting and waving are seen
Quietly doing their job
Asians' best friends
Forever loyal
Chasing away predators
Parasites.....

Seven Continents
There are seven continents
Right here on the planet Earth
Each gorgeous in it's own way
Africa
Antarctica
Asia
Australia
Europe
North America
South America
Each precious land has its own culture, customs and traditions
Each continent has different weather conditions
Most beautiful of all, it has people
People, just like you and me
Some are good, some not so good
Let's pray for faith, peace, justice,
good health, food, shelter, unity,
A decent job and prosperous opportunity
