GREEN LIGHT

               The first leaf falls on her thigh
    Where
              She lies in the white sand
            Where the ocean isn’t blue
                            The green leaf lands in her way
She is swimming in the ocean
Where the sand is white
Where the ocean is busy
Where the dust is brown 
And even though Mars’ sky is pink, is counted too
                                      
And
The green leaf followed her steps
                                     
And
Ever since she left,
                             The green gates
                              The green nature                                                            
                                 The green gates
                                    The green leave
                                       The red light
                                 All
           Turned green
                                 All
        Opened her door
                                 And
                                        When she flew
       The green leaf (alightened ) landed on her shoulder
                                   And when she dreams
                     That
   She supposed to believe the oceans are blue
When      
they reflect the sky’s colour
        And
That
The river wasn’t filled of fish but the fishers too




The roots of the flower

I see you for who you truly are
Adorable
           mother
The roots of the flower
                          from whence we came
The moon surrounded by shining stars, lighting
             our world as you do.
You are the light of us, your children

I see you as you truly are
       Adorable
                    mother, 
Roots of the trunk
        of
who we are today.
Beautiful woman; blessed warm heart.
The beauty of your skin matches your pure personality;
respecting everyone,
              supporting everyone,
                              us your family and freinds
That is who you want us to be

Amazing
              mother
You never leave us with questions,
     never lets us sleep
               with
    confusion in our mind
Teach us to give the eye 
             not
the ear to those who are selfish
     Story ;
telling about what is good and bad.
So we can be aware,
              so we can know,
                  what is risky to personal standing
Mother you never say, 'i will tell you tomorrow' 
for you know
                 that
             tomorrow is built from today






Mother
  
I see you for who you truly are
Beautiful
            mother
Strong woman/ strong personality/ strong standing
Sitting ;
     saying positively
talking ;
     telling us stories
powerful / painful stories
the roots of the flower / we come from
the roots of the trunk of who we are today

We love you mother
             you are amazing
Loving
        caring
                  Motivating
                                   polite
beautiful / adorable mother
I see you
for who you truly are
The roots of the flower.







BLUE CLOTHED GIRL

Time
      for
          self
               speaking
I am not real to sit listing your confusion
            that
                time
                      is over
I regret the time I listened to your words
          however
I am old enough to fix what I had mistaken
I am not an embryo anymore /I am not a three year old
I have grown up and today I am deciding for myself
I am who you see as me/ not who think that I am
I am standing here with you on this world and yes
It is not easy to live here
However!
Born child don’t afraid of death
You live then you die ‘known as’
She says, I am confused about what
They say and I don’t know /what to do or to do not do

I can’t
       stand
             voices
I am sorry;
                 I am not quiet because
I have nothing to say
          I am just thinking about this world!
And again
I am sorry;
I am not talking because
I donno how to talk
          I am just thinking about tomorrow
By
   the
      way,
It is not my time for talking
I have so much to prove to my people
However!
Still standing / still waiting 
I am safe / strong as steel 

Tomorrow
You will hear the voice
              you
                    ever
wanted to hear from my mouth
I will tell you
The stories of my days /you will be surprised
The words will be flying from my mouth
    as
how as you have been wanting it to be
Never stop breathes
      coz
Tomorrow is my day


Maman,

Offering sweets to your sweety
My mum wanted me to be different and
That is what I want to be as well

I am standing in the middle of
Crowded market
    and
in my vision
People are wearing white and I am looking at myself am in my
Blue clothes
   and
that’s what
I’ve wanted to wear
      Blue
            is
               my
                    colour
You may think I am selfish but I am not
I am swimming seas
I am walking through blue oceans
         to get
                  my future
I am searching for the beauty of happiness in our wonderful world
I am walking those roads widely and toughly;  on my own
Blue is my protection in dark
I can never think of white
It gets dirty at any time; she says
I am looking for a smiling face
I have asked for it
    But
no one would give it to me
They think I don’t deserve it
That’s why I said to get it on my own

I do not need you people
You are just who to confuse me
You are blinding my vision
So
please get out my way
I am the blue clothed girl
Standing still, safe and sound

I am walking
             on the known
Mountain where it rains and
The road are fiiled of gold

I am walking
     and
my eyes looking down
I have explored my eyes to see if
I can find the amount of the gold that
I need to get through this day
I am not finding any and
The question is stacked in my thoughts
This is not my day
Lucky is the rich man

It was raining to day / So where be the gold?
Maybe I am  blind
Maybe I don’t know how to look for it
He is rich from this road / it was his day /  it is not my day!

I am not sleeping here waiting
           for
   invisible things
       that
are taking my time
             for tomorrow
Nothing in my eyes / it was his day / it’s not my day!
I am not looking for gold
I am looking for the sunshine a
I am waiting for diamonds

He is mr golden
  and
one day I will be named ms diamonds?

I am a girly girl with the gear of my future
I am searching my whole / I don’t want to be found before the sunshine
To day is just normal
I don’t want tomorrow to be today

I am by myself / no one is beside my seat
No more confusing voices in my ears

I am walking on the ice mountain
I can
      fall at anytime
Once
I make it up to the top
I will build a colourful rainbow house
And
each of the colours will represent
       every
                 single 
step I took 
You don’t have to half smile you can widely laugh
I am just blue blinding the past to the future





BEYOND SELF


The world is always turning.
         Looking
                        Back,

Girl, you ran after lollies 
                          You ran after flowers
You ruined your life 

You played with milkshake
                   You played against winds
       To
             Get
                    The
                           Wings

Girl, look what you've done

You brought a shame to the family; your parents are they satisfied?
      And
Who cries is your mother; who knows about your pregnancy?

You were happy as birds flying in air full of oxygen
                                      Your
                                               Ideas
                                                      Were
                                                                Useful
                                                      Your
                                             Words
                                    Were
                                             Understandable
Your heart's warmth has been taken away.
What you did is unexplainable
You look as a frozen glass full of water in a freezer

You held fire indoors
You made your own sky

You mixed milk with whisky
You hid yourself away from sunshine
You now wish to have,   what you could have
The sunshine is now gone to its owner.
You thought milk and whisky would make a pink colour; it turned purple

Girl,
What you expected is not what you got
So what you gonna to do?

You couldn’t stand listening to your parents' world.
You could not listen to what your friends had to say that time, you thought that their words were boring.

Snaking behind parents' back
Getting home late
                             Wagging school
Talking back to your father
                 Always fighting with your mother
Yelling at your brother; you called him stupid
Always,
       Big
     Mistakes
You now have nothing
You’re homeless /you are lonely
No life / no friends
No relative cares about you
You look so ashamed
You’ve lost everyone including your second self
It’s always raining every where you go
and
  there is
  no sunshine to
   Shine on your skin

Girl,
You ran after attraction for your blue eyes.

You ran after sweets but, you now sweat to smell badly.

The world is always colourful and the clock turning; never anticlockwise

You brought a shameness in your family
and
who cries is your mother...
