The costal line was the place of seduction

The coral reef make you daze in reflection

The women walked with grace and perfection

And we just knew we were worriors too

Nothing morbid, its true

We were glorious

BOOM!

[ukoffline]

Neighbors and dwellers spatter in the pool

Kids playin football with his hand and sock

We had what we got, and it wasn't a lot

No one knew they were poor

We were all innocent to greeze judgement

The country was combusting with life like a long hibrinating volcano

With a long tale of success like J-Lo

Farmers, fishers, fighters, even fools had a place in production

[ukoffline]

My old home smelled of good birth

Boiled red beans, kernel iol and hand me down poetry

It's brick white-washed walls widowed by first paint

The tin roof top humming songs of promise while time is

Locked into demonic rythem with the leaves

The trees had to win

Hugging them, loving them a torturous love

Buggin' when

It was over and done

The round cemented pot kept the rain drops cool

[ukoffline]

Outward labor beneath stubborn faith Our farms produce guilty grub and Our kids depend on shifty luck, see Our muse is life for death is old, so Don't blame me for truth I told, say Good winners looted -in my old home Religion is burned down -in my old home Kindness is shackled -in my old home Justice has been raped -in my old home Murderers hold post -in my old home The land, bombers, ghosts -in my old home

[ukoffline]

Chopped limbs not trees Spend lives not wealth Seek vengance not truth, the carziest youth Hoist pain not plans, nigga' fuck your parents Bandits will beat us down -in my old home Rumors are law now -in my old home Sedatives of faith -in my old home Rapists are praised -in my old home Demonds dressed well -in my old home Infants are nailed -in my old home Spirits are jailed -in my old home Grudges grow tails -in my old home High roads of sea in electric haiden

[ukoffline]

Peep my poem, Mother was my old home Good winners looted  -in my old home Religion is burned down -in my old home Kindness is shackled -in my old home Justice has been raped -in my old home Murderers hold post -in my old home The land, bombers, ghosts -in my old home We got pistols with eyes, corruption and lies Trusting snakes, and death without breaks Suspicious new borns live in our horn Used to the pain, rack bodies not grain

[ukoffline]

It came in the morning, with a warning and without

The hurting was a burden, only certain was doubt

A mythical tale, no soul knows well

Liberty went to hell, freedom called for shells

Fierce was the blow, keep your ears to the show

It appears Orwell was right in '84

Had big brother kill Mother in her store

With all of us watching, we didn't lover her anymore

[ukoffline]

Then one day it came Spoiled up a ray like rain Like oil in a flame, it pained The heart attack sudden Odder than eleven Harder than a punch in the womb Harder than the lunch you consume For us, it had a cancerous fume, more lust Men who made killing hoggies, Selling prout fully like healthy livestock It made tides rock with a dilegent mock Confused are the people, infused in the evil Professed to eject like Jews in the sequel, to win

[ajmiller61981]

Sheer beauty. I love K'NAAN!

[jon6810]

[caramelina]

bariiska aduunka

[MzeeDala]

THE LAND VOMITS GHOST! ...DEMONS DRESS WELL...GRUDGES GROW TAIL...ALL THIS IS LITERALLY HAPPENING IN MY OLD HOME...wow! a true poet! you owe me ENDLESS PRAISES... everything he says is so vivid, the aliveness of the land, the pain, the hopes... EVERYTHING HE SAYS SEEMS CLEAR TO ME(more clearer everytime i listen)..i hope and pray this poem might change the warmongers(esp Mele Zenawi) who literally feed on human flesh, all he cares about is unknown to me, Power and robing the poor.

[YoungMoEo0]

His not major because he talks too much truth, and MTV and BET only wanna deal with the dumb shit, like Soulja Boy and Ray J.
