Livity

(My Verses Of Liberation)
Livity is I spirituality Hona an respect tuh Jah Loyalty fi I  an I inna all aspects wah mi preach.

Livity di word I preach
Nuh cum fi free.
Wi need fi practice unity
Charity an Spiritual Prosperity.

I am sorry,
For my Caribbean accent,
But how do you feel,
When you are shooting at peaceful protesters?
How do you feel when when you arrest writers?

Those were the questions,
I was asking the Ugandan militants,
What they forgot is the Pen lives for eternity.
That's why I preach livity.

WHEN A MAN CRIES.

📸 Google Photos.  When a Man Cries, They say he is weak, He is never a man,  He lost his gender to tears. When a Man Cries,  Male chauvinists Refer to him as a woman- It is a taboo for a man to shed tears. In my society, A man has to cry deep inside, He has to keep the pain under his chest- For he is a stone of diamond. Women in my community Make fun of men who shed tears in public- For they are as weak as sisters, They should be awarded with breasts. When a Man Cries, They say he is weak, He is never a man,  He lost his gender to tears. Society dictates, His strength is in the balls, He must not betray the round twin- For he the King of Strength. When a man cries, He is a woman, He is one of the sisters- He must be awarded with breasts-for men don't cry, They say. ©The Tired Poet.

Karamoja Lives Matter

📷 Courtesy Photo.  In the land of Karamoja, where winds whisper tales, A region of strength, where resilience prevails. Its people, warriors of pride and grace, Longing for justice in their sacred space. Karamojong, their spirit unyielding, Amidst the hardships, their hearts keep beating. For too long, their cries have been unheard, It's time to unite and spread the word. Karamoja, a land of struggle and strife, Where hunger pierces the fabric of life. Yet amidst despair, hope lingers on, From dusk till dawn, till a brighter morn. Let us gather the fragments of their dreams, Stitch them together like rivers and streams, To nourish their souls with compassion's embrace, And restore the dignity of Karamojong race. Together, let's shout from the mountaintops high, "Karamoja Lives Matter!" in the endless sky. Let love and justice be our guiding light, To uplift Karamoja, to make things right. For the people of Karamoja, let's make a stand, Extend a lo

POEM 604.

📸Getty images. Just like a Pregnant Gecko I sat, sniffing the odour of ink, Not realising, my palm is actually pink. From a distance,  I felt the smell of a wet metal  Owning my nostrils like I am part of the betrayal.  Poem 604, I wrote my lines- bit-by-bit, My nose didn't settle for a bit. I saw a beautiful girl-sitted a distance away, Her eyes filled with shame,  Her heart scared of shame. She had the odour of a wet metal,  Blood had run beyond her underwear. She had nothing to 'wear'. Poem 604 Was my first love poem, But I got me crying.  What about my money? What if I wrote philanthropy? What if I wrote about loving? Poem 604, I wrote my lines with grief Because my nose didn't settle.  When will my sisters get what to wear? What if they left school because of blunder? What if they get lured by my cycling brother? What if one day, they decide to end their lives? ©  George William Ochago.  George The Tired Poet.  -2023.
