ELEPHANT WOMAN
She is Elephant Woman
you cannot hide from her
in houses of brick or glass
lined velvet curtains
whether it sits on a signal
hill or in newlands bourgeois class

I Quit, Done Of Been Approved By Humanity Injustice
by Christen Kuikoua
I Quit, Yeah I said it
Wow, it feel good to finally be free
To be free of been stuck in a pot,
You just know how to get in
but you don't know how to get out
I Quit, Fine..
Call me a quitter
Hate me
Tell me am a loser and will never get a life

Ubuntu: I Am because We Are
by Aloo Denish Obiero
"I am because we are," a truth profound,
In Ubuntu's philosophy, our humanity's found.
Our shared existence, interconnectedness so strong,
In unity we thrive, together we belong.
To be truly human, the first maxim shows,
Recognize others' worth, let empathy flow.
In others, our mirror, humanity reflected,
Respectful relations bloom, connections perfected.

The Indomitable Human Spirit
by Thomas Gallagher
We have enslaved lightning
And thunder’s roar, defeat it admits
We have survived death’s pain
And create life with wits
For some, life is a prison
Yet they reach for freedom through the slits
Us on this beautiful rock

Freedom Should Not Be About Race
by Hébert Logerie
All of us should know by now that there’s one race:
The Human Race. Narcissism and nepotism
Are destroying the very febrile fibers of our society
Greed and narrow-mindedness, at an increasing space
Are eroding our soil like mites devouring the mechanism
Of our ingenuity. This is odious. What a sad and sorry pity!
Freedom is about being at liberty to do things on our own
Freedom is about being in control of our destiny
Freedom is about using our God-given talent to be
And to do whatever inspires us at dust, at dawn

Forbidden
by Mahtab Bangalee
To me
Independence, democracy, politics, socio-economics, religion are not forbidden
All countries, different cultures, and constitutions are not forbidden
Skin colors, different languages, varieties of beliefs, and good deeds are not forbidden
I am on this earth not cause of the forbidden fruit
I am of nature, by nature, and for nature
To me, the word ‘Forbidden' is prohibited sternly!
But, yes,

Prisoners of their own Ignorance
by Kimani Hare
Burn your degrees and certifications.
Disregard human innovation.
Let the philosophers be burned with their works.
Schools to be demolished and learning forbidden.
For these constructs hold no purpose now,
With intellectuals imprisoned by the Court of Public Opinion.
To say Cannabis Sativa is destroying generations,
To ignore the science and call it “contraband”,
While huffing your artificial cherry-flavored exhaust.

To live, is to sin
by Ravindu Anjana
The azure veil shook, while the heavenly maiden went to sleep,
The waters broke to brooks, as the gloaming stained the lake that's deep.
Her heart was laden with the weight of all the creatures down below,
Her soul stained with every sin of life, yet persists as a good fellow.
Her eyes finally close as the world below plunges into darkness,
In her place her children shine, to bring the light upon the madness.
Once again she wakes, as the birds sing a choir down below,

Voice of the Mothership
by Em Beedee
I come to you to walk amongst you
But, no, I am not of you
You are human: messy, muddy, egg-born
Entangled with each other
I am:
Child of stars and voice of vacuum
I will bathe in your warm soup
Of shared emotion
But I will not drink
