GEORGE THE TIRED POET

Dear Valentine, Yesterday, I wrote a love Poem, I wrote it for widowed mothers, I wrote it for Orphaned children, I wrote it for scared men, I wrote it for Poets, I wrote it for men shot on the streets. I wrote it for worried writers. I wrote it for You. I wrote that,  They should forgive us, They should stop killing us For speaking against the wrongs. I wrote that my brothers are scared, They are scared because they're dying, They are dying graduating- Graduating for jobs that are Chinese, Russians and the old. I wrote another poem, I wrote that they should release all political prisoners, They should stop arresting political protestors, They should not exercise guns on everyone. Dear Valentine, Yesterday, I wrote that  I will love you if the nation gets free, Because I am scared that you may lose me, I may die anyway, I may get shot for writing poetry. I may get detained by the military. And today, I may write again. © George William Ochago  @ George The Tir...

(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. © George William Ochago.  @George The Tired Poet.  2023.
