system

Explains the effects of modern day government systems in the eyes of an African male and the people around but it is able to connect to different societies and people .

Countless deeds 

Countless souls

The skin ,the gold and the oil 

Measurements of victory all man made  

Still the cycle never stop birth to decay 

A note for every move birth of all cruelty 

The nature bottled and sold 

Lies preserved ,printed 

history.

The visions of the blind

the scars that were never televised 

Old generations ,Old knowledge 

untaught.

The taste in my plate modified  

Skin on my skin not the skin they used to wear 

Loud cries i want to be noticed 

but how can they notice me if i do not look like myself

Born with the creation all the wilderness

Among remedies of all pestilences 

My past was not meant to be written 

It flows with the totem offspring to offspring

No-longer the owner of the wilderness

Stories of how mistreated i have been

Theories of how equal i am 

Murderers, thieves and the spiritual

Our maize we could still grow but our fields are no longer our fields.

Reviews

[Smoking Man]

A wonderful well written piece of poetry which really touched me.
The eloquence and depth to this made me think about how little or unimportant it seems we are in the grand scheme of things.
I can hear the rumble of thunder from a million unheard souls who wish to speak for the long dead.

[Smoking Man]

You're welcome,I hear what you saying and now don't feel alone with my fight against society and government machinery.

[prisley machiya]

i rspect that someone feels like this and sees some things i see everyday in our societies

[Smoking Man]

In the grand scheme of things people are viewed as merely numbers in a collateral world where the corruption and colluding government look to exploit them.Yes it's good to share our thoughts and sing from the hymn sheet.

“Taste in my plate modified”

That is a very apt commentary.
