Preface

The fragile lily is being fortified with calcium.

The world is embellished in altercations.

The pilot is now a scapegoat.

Peace has become a mirage…

The promotion of hate speech by political, religious and non-religious bodies today has further polluted the atmosphere to the extent that we are now gasping for breath in order to survive. Our day has become night and night has become day. Our sleeping time has been stolen from us. The journey is ongoing.

This book The Terrorist Inclinations has come at a most auspicious time when the cultivation of religious intolerance through hate speeches has become so infectious that virtually everyone is affected. The poems rightly address a common issue – terrorism. The messages in the poems are germane and easy to understand. The following highlights are common to majority of the poems:

Various governments seem to further worsen the issue of terrorism through the inappropriate response to terror related acts. They fail to understand that the issue is fundamentally systemic and should be addressed as such, instead of focusing on treating the symptoms.

Injustice and suppressed anger is a major contributor to terrorism.

Youths are easily lured into terrorism potentially through all kinds of religion-induced brainwashing activities that daily transform our youths into heartless and wicked creatures.

Condemnation of the activities of institutions which deliberately work to forcefully suppress systemic anger instead of addressing the foundation of systemic failure.

The untoward effect of the delegation of parental responsibilities to cronies such as nannies and housekeepers.

Failure of the school system to give wholesome education to our children.

The lack of effective conflict resolution mechanism which invariably snowballs into terrorist acts.

The promotion of peace as a cardinal objective.

Advocacy against terrorism.

The book aptly captures the foundation, promotion and propagation of terrorism. It provides appropriate solutions to identified problems in form of anecdotes and deep thoughts.

A terrorist is expected to rightly peruse this book and be convinced of the need to abandon terrorism.

A religious bigot is expected to peruse this book and be positively transformed.

An innocent youth is expected to peruse this book and say no to terrorism.

Parents are expected to peruse this book and be more responsive to child upbringing.

Politicians and governments alike are expected to gain more insight as regards the treatment of fundamental issues that are germane to stamping out terrorism.

The Terrorist

An animal like an animal

Skull inhabited by worms.

Eye socket enveloped by brain

A monster indeed.

A brainwashed entity

Understands the go language

Failure is not an option

Blood must flow.

Propelled by insanity,

Engrossed in brutal killings,

Too late for revival

Blood must flow.

Crazy about reality,

Blinded by reason,

A captive of the mindless,

Ready for detonation.

Sometimes, childhood - pretty good

Boyhood almost excellent,

Why the detour?

Your guess is as good as mine.

A short circuit apparent

Cancerous explosion erupts.

Everywhere becomes malignant

Everything red is elicited.

Regards for parents forever lost

The animal in him salutes

Chooses to become an orphan,

Man in him in prison.

Some girls become boys

Products of brainwashing,

Death, they must embrace

Smooth hereafter envisaged.

Who is fooling who?

The chicken has come home to roost.

Who will open the door?

Mother Nature, please help!

Wind, where are you?

The life in us, about to vaporize,

What is happening?

Oh! Mother Nature, help us.

Monsters everywhere

A creation of us all,

Everyone passing the bulk

Too cold for comfort.

The lions are out of jungle

They now live with us.

Our children in danger,

After decimating us.

Who will peruse the home?

Who is strong and mighty?

Any volunteer around?

Mother Nature, help us.

We thought the future will be bright.

Under the tree, sudden violence erupts.

Humans becoming animals

Brain exchange implicated.

Who will bell the cat?

Tigers let loose.

A meal for the fierce

Mother Nature, where are you?

Some are crying and laughing

Foolishness on rampage,

Insanity a second name

Good for fools.

Who will control the tantrum?

Bombs blasting repeatedly,

The deaf receiving healing

The able becoming deaf.

Role exchange implicated.

Experience my part of the world.

Animals are let loose

The home in ruins.

Terrorist, terrorist and terrorists

Mother Nature beckons at you.

Can you hear her cry?

Deafness come calling.

Oh! How are the mighty fallen?

Animals in charge

Operating without barriers

The world in ruins.

We reap from our inactions

Inadequate actions,

The fool in us all

At the road junction.

Child Upbringing

The ways of the eagle is strange

Brings up her young with eagerness,

Expects reasonable maturity

But soon becomes impatient.

Baby fly, baby fly, baby fly

Or I push and push,

Until you prove failure.

On discovery is a rescue.

Mother eagle’s action,

Expectations driven,

No room for laziness

You must be up and doing.

Humans are no eagles.

You reap what you sow.

There are seasons and there are seasons.

You must watch to be correct.

The environment, critical in child upbringing

Color variations impactful.

Topography builds character

Good for the languages.

Caution, caution and caution

Food projects personality.

Strong, healthy, sickly and lazy

You reap what you sowed.

Today’s children are more sophisticated

Era of computer,

Parents becoming obsolete

Peer pressure wins.

Mom and Dad on vacation

House-keeper and Nannies on duty,

In pursuit of comfort for children

Children forever lost.

Culpable neglect at the corner

Parents becoming agitated,

Do not forget

Remember – Reaping what you sowed.

Children more sophisticated

Even above the space.

With strange cloth,

Harvest time beckons.

Suicide embraced by many

Luxury of life deserted.

Money cannot help

Darkness rules the world.

Where is our joy?

Where is our happiness?

What is happening?

Gravel in our mouths.

Good parenting, neglected

An invitation to anarchy,

A loss to peace

Violence unfolds.

Blame, at whose door step?

Parents, parents and parents,

Lack of vision and planning

Reaping what you sowed.

Child upbringing, not a tea party

Time and seasons rule the world.

Find your relevance

Or you are left behind.

Sometimes, foolishness beckons

Childishness inhabiting the mouth,

A game of blame

You shoot yourself.

Those who sow in tears

Sure to reap in joy.

What have you sowed?

Sure to reap.

Lessons from challenges

Gold to the wise,

No lessons,

Future is bleak.

The wise don’t joke with childhood

Their tomorrow, an offshoot,

Ending well or sadly,

Sowing determines harvest.

Be wise.

A good child upbringing

Gives peace to the world,

Parents, Parents! Please arise.

You have a duty

Duty to your children,

Allocate time to personally mould them.

If you don’t, you’ll regret.

Conflict in Schools

The diversity is good

Gives room for awareness

Improves communication skills

Impacts the world.

Positively or negatively
