This poem is about the brawl that went viral March 16, 2015. I was outraged by what I saw and it compelled me to write this poem.

Bitch! Bitch! Bow! Knock! She drops.
Fist swinging feet flying
Stupid Hoe! Bam! Slam! She’s still throwing blows.
Wait! Stop! She’s not moving

The insane
The absurdity of the authoritarians
The idiocy of territorial /communal /religious fights
The mirage of the rape field

It's just a reflection of the unreality I felt on Monday when I went to town shopping. I found it surreal.Post lockdown The queues gather Hungry for bargains. Desperate to spend The furloughed cash And the unspent beer tokens. An air of resigned politeness Pervades the streets. Masked ones stepping away Instead of robbing up close As in times of yore....

Demonstration of Space Exploration
The poem is about the development of space exploration and America's ambition to once again claim fame for its space endeavours.Crew made of two, vessel not for the moon. Still though a good throw of money, madness and invention, into this intervention, to board the ISS, in hope of becoming the best, nation for space exploration.

Why Me?
This piece voices out a girl that has been or is being bodyshamed. Bodyshaming has been a vice in most of social media users and it should be stopped since most have succumbed to...When J. Bieber sang, "Picture perfect you don't need no filters" I don't think he was singing to me. I can't post my selfie People will start drawing on my forehead Play "Join the dots" with the spots on...
