Who are we?
by Patsy Jawo

To dictate to others
Because of our bothers
To hate and victimize
People’s rightful ways
To live and exist freely
As what they were created to be
Not who we want them to be
Or indeed what we want to see
Disgusted by what we don’t want to see
Really disgusted by our own Selves
Disgusted by our own intolerance
Hatred we know is unfounded
Which we then compound into sets of values
Beliefs we merely create then stand by
As principles we hold dear and true
Pure fiction of the mind and intellect
Imagined based only on fear and lies
Fear of the unfamiliar and uncommon
Familiarity grows through fertile tolerance
And having things in common with others
Is achieved only by our acceptance
Lies so common we believe and trust them
Accept them without question or cares
Lies…

Heartfelt
by Patsy Jawo

Beloved Great Britain
Variety so disparate
A unity so dignified
Entities so polite
Charming in all light
Despite seeming obstacles
Alight with vigour
A birthplace so detailed
Where wealth and love prevail
Delightful Edinburgh burns
Inside like a furnace flame
And London so lovely
Taking me in so comely
A prodigy in the making
A whirling sensation
As we move through stations
Amazing entities across nations
Remembering sacred Ireland
Excluded yet precluded
A peaceful serenity
Beautiful signatories
My buoyant inspiration
Redefining genteel
Rapports reveal purity
Of souls imbued
Through Countries, Towns, Cities
Vibrant people, things, places
Plants, Trees, Parks, experiences
Believers, atheists, spiritualists
Lesbians, Transsexuals, Bisexualism
Straight laced or gay brothers and sisters
Make no fatal mistake
There is only oneness in me
A love for one and all
Use not me, beliefs or bigotry
To destroy this love and unity
Take…

Strong Man
by Patsy Jawo

My strong man
Grief is here
The load heavy
Ready or not

Your soul asks
That to which
No answer exists
No man knows

Be strong they say
Be a man they say
But what is Strong?
And what is Man?

Man is Strong
Man is Weak
Strong yet Weak
Weak yet Strong

Strength is a flaw
As hardness cracks
Weakness a force
Softness toughens

Fear not weaknesses
Fear nothing at all
Strong men take courage
In their whole being

Strong men know they’re strong
Real men know they’re weak
When all’s said and done
Knowledge is power

The irony is this:
Your strength is your weakness
For it is displayed to all
Your weakness is your strength
For it is hidden from all

On A High
by Patsy Jawo

The way you walk, talk, do your thing
Your laugh, smile, the way you sing
Your nearness affects me like a sting
I’m bitten and now forever your play ground
You have me so smitten I do it all your way
I could never be the same again now I’m in those arms
I know I’m safe and on this plane there is only good
Our brood is perfectly perfect as we are so simply
Although there is nothing simple about perfection
There is an ease with which we respect all that is our self
And a humility that means we are revered by all
The power that is us is beyond comprehension
Our appreciation sees that we honour every being
For our eyes always see the truth in all that seems
By looking, seeing and knowing beyond all…

The Party
by Patsy Jawo

I am excited at this party called life
It is like a live wire and I the electrician
I could be in trouble if I don’t do it right
It could be the party of my life if I nail it
I don’t wanna spend most of my life doing stuff I should
I want to be on the edge, ready to rock, knowing I could get caught
What’s the worse that would happen? No seriously!
All this fear, I am fed up with it all and it being maximised to take full advantage
It’s time to rock this party and have much fun in the process
I am a ticking bomb and have exploded hence having a blast
I am always doing the right thing so I don’t worry about consequences
I am feeling humorous is why I’m laughing out loud

A Message from Mr. J. O. Martins
by Patsy Jawo

I am the untouchable breeze
The shadow in the sun
The whisper in the wind
A father, son, helper and friend
Who am I?
I am J O Martins

A bounding energy
A vibrant melody
An intimate fellowship
Personal dedication
To love all and sundry
To infinite perfection

So where will I be?
I hear you ask
In every breath
Nurturing all life
And where am I now?
Glowing in the light

I am with God
One with God
And if one with God
Is one with all
Why do you see me gone?
For I am in all

Know that I am not
Just J O Martins
I am infinity
I am the presence of God
I am agility
I am all possibilities
I always hear your call
So never you stall
Demand with grace
