Suffering From Anamnesis

Our people are suffering from anamnesis
They don’t believe in going forward to progress
Our heroes have defeated countless enemies
Our forefathers believed in fighting the stress
At hand.

Our contemporaries talk and do not act
They dream of miracles and believe in wishful thinking
Due to lack of constructive and ingenious planning
They find themselves regressing or going back
Out on a limb.

The earth is moving, let’s cleave to the climate
Let’s be clever and stop being dumb
This sand is my land; this land is your sand.

Let’s all become altruistic, let’s cooperate
Let’s go with the flow, let’s go with the wind
Let’s go with the sand, let’s stay up-to-date.

O' Youths

Join your hands; nexuses of a solid chain
Keep your hearts firm and unbroken
Vow to serve the poor and the bereaved
Pledge to protect the infirm and the disabled

Colour and culture land and language
Leader and preacher drug and rage
Dare not shake your notion
Your goal of 'kindness and consideration'

Smiling faces mercy eyes
Words assuasive altruistic service
Sure to bestow on you high values
Cheering your life hued to brilliant morals

O' youths, abide by unity, integrity
A day more is a day dead in life
Be this moment yours for chivalry, charity
Way out violence welcoming beneficence
The best proprieties all time you are

The Dream (A Eulogy For Martin Luther King, Jr.)

He had a dream, to which all should aspire;
Poignantly, his earthly life met with Empyrean supplant,
As same is honored always, by chimeric flame;
Die did not, the dream, which is indubitably extant.
The dream may remove the blight of an iniquitous past.
If the dream is not to wither, needed are many a dreamer
Who know that justice is the truth that sets you...'free at last';
This is The Law, as taught by The Great Redeemer.

The dream is revolutionary, yet quite simplistic-
Self-gratifying, while wholly-altruistic;
The dream is justice, for one, for all-all the same;
The dream shan't die, as evidenced by the eternal flame-
As though a beacon, it states: 'let freedom ring';
'Thank God Almighty, for the gift who was Doctor King!

A Silent, Altruistic Prayer

I say a silent prayer each and every night,
For the beauty no longer within my sight-
Supplanted by someone I no longer know.
I silently wonder: 'where did my beloved go? '.
I prefer to think she has not really gone away,
But rather, will eventually find herself again, one day.
Taken hostage by fears she could not control,
She needs this re-discovery to once again be whole.
Perhaps, each day as she sees herself in the mirror,
All that she has abandoned of herself will become clearer.
Surely, she seeks the ardor and jollity she once possessed,
Just as surely as the heart silently mourns a love repressed.
Sikerly, Heavenly Father heeds my soulful, altruistic prayer-
For the amelioration of this lady, most beauteous and fair!

To Mine Heart's Captor

To mine heart's captor: thou knowest who for art thou!
With its absquatulation complete, what art thine plans now?
Art thine intentions altruistic and pure-
May thine jollity, these intentions, ensure?
Might thine heart be exalted in consort with mine?
If thee were to seek its consult, how would it opine?
Love knows not impediments, it lasts and grows forever;
Come with me, my beloved, we shall live this truth, together!

Have not thee thought of me, fondly, in mine absence?
The gift of our love is proof of His Divine Benevolence!
Walk this journey called life with me by thine side;
Mine unceasing love shall always, and e'er, be supplied-
For so long as thou art enamored by this offer;
First though, you need remove thine heart from its coffer!

-Maurice Harris,16 May 2011

Cathartic Was

Never had a love like this in my life…
Bullied…and loved it…
It was irritating to give in to give in…
But I loved…it…
Making that transition from sad to bad…
My bitter-sweet real-life…
My chocolate dip…
My life's sip…
Was really a trip…
Then it hit me…I..AM…WOMAN…
Wise, Original Mirrored, Altruistic and…
NECESSARY…
Never had a love like this in my life…
Relieving anxiety …tension…I… was repressed…
Most of the time…NO! …more tunnel vision…
Myself has made the decision…
My foreground touches me all over…
My mind boils with newness…
Of the me…who always was…
My subconscious cries out…

Of Happiness

Of Happiness

What is happiness? I question and contemplate,
Even a simple answer invites an endless debate.

“I am happy”, very easy to demonstrate and say,
But most of the times it evades and eludes away.

Happiness can’t be bought or bargained by any,
Love can bring bliss said sages and saints many.

One who is in love, lives in world of happiness,
Soul is enlightened, mind is clear and doubtless.

Eyes observe beauty of nature in all His creation,
Peaceful and fearless one become in such situation.

Divinity of love makes a human more humane,
With compassionate and altruistic attitude main,

Passage Of Love

Buxom breasts, shrouding the wealth
Of an endowment, like no other
The devotion of motherhood, luscious copious vats
Hibernating infancy
Opened by the doors of puberty
To an ocean of opportunity, to anchor to her fatum
To snare the roaming man to her flaunting summits
To lavish upon the yearning heart, the veil of lust, the meat of love
To metamorphose her shrine for a miraculous symbiosis
As finally, her inheritance from the Gods, has embraced kismet's palms
The bequest of a symbiotic growth, nibbling her teats
Suckling her tips to engender the flow
Of the most altruistic of wealth, tides of gushing milk
A narrative of legends, where blood loses her titian luster
To embrace virgin white coats of an apical affection
Dispensed in to the yearning cavities of a fledgling toddler
The selfless passage of a potent legacy
Founded on the principle of love

Why' We Should Dislike Oprah

Too open.
Too honest.
Too curteous.
Too giving.
Too approachable.
Too willing to listen.
Too empathetic.
Too concerned about others.
Too sacrificial.
And just too altruistic!

'Okay.
The surveys have all been collected!
It seems we have a concensus.
Are there any more reasons,
As to 'why' we should dislike Oprah? '

~Yes!
She had the nerve to announce today,
This is the last season of her TV show.

Rendered Service

Would you call me a Muslim, Moslem,
a Mussulman, Mohammedan, Hindu,
or numerous impolite names instead.
Would you address me with
slanderous, opinionated,
condemning conclusions.

Some of you would
call me a Christian.
While others would call
me Buddhist.
Rather call me
a sincere child of God.

One who hears, sanctified halo, disk calling,
and would answer; anticipated call.
A friendly fellow human being;
who would be your brother.
Who would give; altruistic love freely;
in compassionate humility.
