  ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere is reflective, philosophical, spiritual, and emotionally thoughtful. The poem creates a deep sense of self-examination and personal awakening. TIME OF RIDDLE In the absence of a problem  There is a problem. The problem is not about being born  But to whom you were born? The problem is not necessarily about who you were born to  But who nursed you? The problem is not about who nursed you  But what order does she belong to? The problem is not about the order she belongs to  But what you were dedicated to. The problem is not what you were dedicated to  But what you did when you grew to know who you are. The problem is not about growing to know who you are  But the step taken toward correcting the mistake The problem is not about correcting the mistake  But knowing who you now serve. The problem is not about knowing who you serve  But knowing your final destination. Eternal life or eternal condemnation  It ma...

ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere is sorrowful, reflective, emotional, and philosophically heavy. The poem evokes a sense of pain and emptiness by questioning the value of justice that arrives after an irreversible loss. UNJUST JUSTICE How lovely is justice  When Hades had not yet a keeper  And to a fellow not Dad Of what benefits is it  That him whom we do fight for, live not to see our  Small immeasurable efforts  That's unjust justice.  The pain of death, he feels it to the brim Tina was gang-raped  The Police welcomed new neighbors  The learned men sat firmly on the matter  Tina's hands they raised  She still sleeps. Peter badly felt the love of the butcher's chopper.  The keeper, the chopper,  Even the blade, none were flair  Yes! He could not rule o'er the blade  So the blade ruled o'er his mind-  He's guilty.  Peter rested before justice. Look at Magdalene  Yesterday she carried a bowl of love  We s...

  ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere is emotionally manipulative, seductive, deceptive, cautionary, and psychologically tense. The poem evokes a sense of emotional uncertainty, where sweet words conceal dangerous intentions. COCK NIGHT He walks one-sided,  like a fish tempted to taste the bait  Dancing like a cock will showcase talent to the hen,  Folding and unfolding its wrapper,  A display for a woman he doesn't love,  The very one he cheats on. "I can not sleep without you"  He's been sleeping.  "You are the cockroach in my cupboard"  Believe me, he only has pots in there.  "You are the sugar in my tea"  He only takes pure Lipton, ordinary Lipton.  "I will die for you"  Let him smell the barrel of the body freeze  And he will behave like Peter,  Waiting for the cock to crow thrice.  "I love you more than my mothers"  He's dependent like a parasite.  "You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" ...

ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere is tense, dark, chaotic, manipulative, and emotionally disturbing. The poem creates a fearful political environment filled with betrayal, desperation, greed, violence, and hidden danger. THE DAYS OF SPARROW Man is the best when men behold him afar.  The closer he comes,  The monster he becomes.  Take a look at his manifesto  And gossip to us what he's up to  Give him power and wed fear. My political participation is base on, "well".  Like I would build my hut on the East West Bridge.  Of course I know they are lovers of Bridge  They show you their card  And you do nothing than run mad  They can't serve you well. My friends, take! Take!! Take!!!  That money is borrowed somewhere, When he wins the throne, you shall see the tear.  Never risk your life to give him throne,  He can offer nothing except bone,  And mistakes shall be all the steps you take. Woe is almost all they do.  Take from t...

  ATMOSPHERE A serious and thought-provoking atmosphere filled with moral contradiction, hypocrisy, disappointment, and hidden truth. The poem creates a tense emotional environment where words and actions stand in conflict. THE UNQUALIFIED ADVISOR If only married men were advised  And had stuck to the advice  The way they would wish the youth to,  Then Christendom would be full of Monogamists But it's a pity  That he who pleases the eye  Is more of Don Juan  Than we had ever imagined. Sometimes I look at my adviser  And then I read the mind of the blind.  The blind knows he need advice than I (a Single) do  What a confused soul! Let him who is far from truth take advice,  And he who is close examines himself.  One could be a prey at times,  Everyone knows you can't give what you lack. “Everyone knows you can't give what you lack.” AUTHOR’S NOTE The Unqualified Advisor was inspired by the growing culture of hypocrisy in soc...
