Ishmael Onserio Poems

Two kinds of species,
Living under the same tree shed,
That mind did not see the sun's light,
Passing through the leaves thorn apart
...

You think you can do it better,
I know you are above everything,
No one does it better than you,
See him there, why clench those fists?
...

That influx came humbled,
Lastly as witnesses of that great FOREST,
She cherished universal color of leafy grass each day,
It was not like in a blind spot,
...

My name is Sansun, I was named after my mother murmured to the sun,
"Who lives in me, who's he, who's she? " The sun's ardor hit her fill out,
I think she wondered what was going on inside her, just for a good name,
A search for a nomenclature of being, she gave me Sansun, I'm satisfied.
...

Trust me as I hold the steering wheel of this desired forward march,
Trust me as I search in deep waters for a well-defined resting place,
It takes a sweat, it's a mind brawling campaign, it needs lots of trust,
Track me, hold a lubricious hem of the dwindling hope along this way,
...

I see the nudging grudge of the tyrant's elbow,
Sweeping roads so clean in the sanctioned oblasts,
Poisoned air and mounting tumult from a mighty bellow,
Suffocating innocuous beings, all trampled down in lethal thrusts.
...

Welcome to the club,
It's lovely, you fit in this world,
It is the blessed call of nature, a rebirth,
Bring to us a king, let him rule come tomorrow,
...

All this is beyond the wandering of my presumed wide-eyed imagination,
The glimpse of this one fact, his egress, has torn my doubting heart apart,
I can't comprehend the cause for this mighty fall, I'm blinded, I'm human,
The hill's treasured crest has been leveled to seabed, just like in surreal art,
...

Pray for me now in the name of the most tolerant being,
Pray for me with conviction through this year very new,
Pray for this heart and soul to thrive through that spring,
Count no more the numbers these hands have cursed you,
...

I bow my head in deep thoughts as I call back that Independence Day,
My heart crying earnestly as I face distaste of a weird reincarnation,
The gliding reprisals with no pretext drafting that of great liberation,
Those sparking thoughts of emancipation shrouded with rage's sway,
...

I am the super alien in front of the multitude,
Metered looks poking my eyes and heart alike,
I live like a frail moth, I thrive well in servitude,
I am used to these, it's my daily aiming life strike.
...

Remember me friend when the sun's light is above your head,
Remember me when you bathe in The Euphrates' cool flows,
Remember me when the moon's darkened side stares at me,
At the pinnacle of my youthful living with entreating desires,
...

I thought I was dreaming in the wake of that broad daylight,
That mauling through an expanse of the fenced prominence,
On that dawn, many hearts were already swimming in flight,
It was an attempt to uplift a name from years of subsidence,
...

14.

The sun is sinking to the west fast,
So early in the wake of each day this time of the year,
The chilly wind blows across the land swiftly,
Numbing the mortal bodies of the living,
...

The screeching and heavy stumbling outside,
Heavy boots wading through the rotting leaves stacked,
The scare of the dark engulfing the sky unfolds of the outside,
A scarecrow on the cross clothed in tatters,
...

Call me the blessed one in that broad daylight's meeting,
Call me great when friends gather around our dinner table,
Call me extraordinary when my hand wipes those bitter tears,
Call me love as your head finds repose upon my bare bosom,
...

I walk on and off through demarcated doors beside an expansive hallway,
I count labeled heads one by one, faces depicting a wide range of mysteries,
Born of different mothers, living under one roof; here I draw waters of life,
A new revelation unfolding each day I go nearby to cast my fishing net deep,
...

Whispers of endurance past the journey of living in fair play and ferocity,
Whispers of endurance in factual living and cuddled infamy, all just same,
Minds poking minds with massive totems of divergent aptness and zeal,
Fortune appears to many in gleams of veiled exploits only to be desired,
...

No empathy, no second thought,
Decisions of life made upon that hurried wake,
Mind not clear to discern the outcome thereof,
Yesterday is forgotten like last year's snowfall,
...

It is a goalless match,
A score with no win,
Both ends that winning of greatness,
That abides in the biceps of the robust,
...

The Best Poem Of Ishmael Onserio

We Are Not The Same

Two kinds of species,
Living under the same tree shed,
That mind did not see the sun's light,
Passing through the leaves thorn apart
He tried to point to their origin,
All not making sense to a young mind,
A weakened spirit negotiating,
With the reality plainly told,
You could imagine of the dumb stances,
Taken by the self-claimed king,
We are not the same anyway.

Many hearts have been lost,
Because of your mean hand,
Your talk kills inwardly,
Whoever the heightened words befall,
You kill with no reason,
Even when the light of forgiveness has been lit,
You like nooks of your comfort dwelling,
You and yours is all that matters,
You treasure living in jeopardy,
To bring you conscience into terms,
I pity the ones you rule,
For I know we're not the same.

Have you ever seen Jealousy?
Mounting with vigor from this side,
I know you have come across,
This hand that grabs all,
For self and self alone,
Those ones can starve to death,
Provided not asked to 'donate, '
A lump of bread with mold,
You wonder of the evil eye mounting,
In the corners of this kind if living,
This is because we are not the same.

That evil eye dwells in you,
Mostly in all your likeness so expansive,
You wish to ride in starry skies,
When your wings can barely flap,
You think of fortunes,
Hidden like a treasure, miles down the bumpy mud,
You like and admire him that is great,
You make it a big deal grabbing these dreams
Sinking the true great right hand for you,
In the realms where you are sheltered fully,
This is because we are not the same.

Have you seen the flight of ideas,
The feathery mind on a windy raging tide?
It is a hovering soul,
Never satisfied with the first say,
Yesterday was that, today this,
I was not in sound mind,
Is all you can hear,
Changes of times not expected,
Decisions so grave taken so hastily,
A return in that late tomorrow,
With a calm heart for a guide,
After squandering the grace that was,
You know what? I listen,
This is because we are not the same.

A few have gone past expectations,
This is great and I admire,
Just watch closely,
If it is not for a chest thump's sake,
A platform to wax even more,
Then it's a counseled spirit,
The one tried in fire,
I promise you, this is true,
Count the numbers abreast and tell me,
You will see what I see, it's evident,
I know a lifted spirit is in all of us,
Because we are mottled humans,
But trust me, we are not the same.
