An Ode to Lasgidi

 Do Shakara!

Kai, the mix of tribes beautified you once

Now all I see is chaos amidst the carbon-filled air

You used to rock!

Whoa, the nightlife was filled with beauties

Now lost to a shadow of memories

Oh! How I longed for you to wake in your arms

To sleep with your kisses covering my body

Oh! How I used to love you, longing to get more of you

Now you are just a shadow of yourself

Lost in the economic crisis that is purging you of the beauties

Making you sick with a running tummy filled with poverty

Oh! How I miss you and your pride, born out of sheer beauty

I was proud to know you, to live in you, to be you!

Now I wince from afar and wonder, will you ever get your glory days back?

Guess Who's Back!

 It's been a trying time.

My identity was lost to conform 

Looking within to find a new angle

My space abandoned

Lies directed the new path

but find it most 

a new way to find self

well well well

No way defines you

You define you

clap it says

jump it bids

But you must direct its action

its pace its rhythm

So it bids to ask

Who defines you?

Yes, I am back

back to the ideas and creativity

back to the craziness on ink

And lives one can't live

living in the fantasy 

of characters we create 

one that entertains and only entertains!
