1. A DESIDERATA
Knowing what I Know
Knowing where I should Go:
Should I produce another illusion ?
Or would it lead to more delusion ?
With so much treasures to offer ,
Like diamonds ,
the dreams of my coffers-
Useless it seems ,
In the windows of my dreams !
That I love what I always will love -...
The One as radiant as the golden dove,
And yet have I lived so well ,
Been to heaven ,
Been to Hell!
Where shall I go?
I said that I know !
And then -
when I learn it is the End!-
Will Destiny show me a New Direction to go?
Or will these dreams of yesteryear -
Be forever a rock of fear ?
History without an Ear...
Or shall I learn to discover ,
Without losing the miracle of life ...
And wake up content -
In the arms of my beloved wife? !...
A DESIDERATA, DESIDERATA. 🙏🏼💓

2. What do I expect from a Home ? 🙌
Not a lot . You can make a home anywhere you go. Even under a bridge. Home is where your heart is. ✌️
And if your heart is WITH God you are already in home. The song Jerusalema written during covid by a south African guy says exactly that. 🖖
This Earth this dimension is not our REAL home. It became a song that resonated with every culture on the planet. And it is because of this message. Not just the silly dance.
It said something profound.
But what do I expect from a place ? Here on Earth . I expect of course PEACE.
I expect water I can drink that won't harm me and air I can breathe that won't kill me .
And people around me that don't want to take my shoes or stab me or rape me because I'm white... I expect people who will look at me like a person.
Not an animal or a commodity. Something to be used or abused. I expect a conscious spirit that LOVES God.
That I can worship God in spirit and in truth without the fear that I will be arrested or thrown in prison for singing. Or praying.
I expect to be treated equally as the next person. I need to be near good facilities like a good school.. a good library.. a good hospital..I would like to live where there are many different cultures and therefore different options to eat different foods.
But most important I would like the vibration of where I call HOME to be one of HEAVEN on the Earth.
I don't need to listen gunfire in the morning as I'm eating breakfast or psyche myself up to fight just to go to the shops in case someone tries to mug me. This is not home.. it's a prison camp. And neither do I need to live in a fridge.
But a good climate that loves human beings.
And finally... I would like to be able to build a fire🔥 sometimes to heal my soul. And to be with the one I love and paint pictures.. plant fruit and vegetables and yes to write poetry, songs and tell stories of once upon a time. 🙏🏽
"Anapovamai". A place of rest for the soul. Is it possible on this Earth ? I don't know. I believe so. That's why I travel so much and for so long in search of this home.
Now.. I have given this task to the one I love the most.🫶
May she be successful where I was not. At least not on this planet.
Home is where your heart is. And She is where my heart is.
Amen.

4. "GUILTY" : A Tribute to the People's Poet
" Realise with REAL eyes,the REAL lies !"
You are charged with the Crime of Time!-
A life time wasted - regurgitated - agitated - demonstrated...
Your honour - I'm innocent don't you see ?
It wasn't me ! It wasn't ME....
And the word reverberated across the silent court room
Sounding it's message of premeditated-
Uncompromising...demoralising...DOOM
& GLOOM ... GLOOM & DOOM ...
The word they had all freely anticipated-
But refused to accept
Chose to REJECT !
Wanted to FORGET !
Pushed the button to EJECT !...
The word ... "GUILTY "-
Guilty as charged , Guilty as Charged!-
And the guilty are FREE TO GO...
Free to know their shopping malls-
And BMW - Bedroomed walls-
Gilded cages & Hijacked rages...
Stuck up stucco'ed wives &
Boardroom backstabbing knives ...
Goldfish golf bowls -
And toilet tissue flushed away lives !!
YES!
The guilty are FREE to GO - Free to go...
And the INNOCENT are free to KNOW -
FREE TO KNOW ...
GUILTY!
The TRUTH always prevails.
" REALISE THE REAL LIES THROUGH REAL EYES ! " Lucien Zell.

5. Let it Shine
Find a little stone that sparkles on a beach ,
Take it home , give it some love -
(and a little bleech)
Then when it looks just fine ...
Let it shine , let it shine , let it SHINE !
'Cause this little stone of mine -
I'm gonna let it shine !
This little stone of mine -
I'm gonna let it shine !
Let it shine- let it shine - let it SHINE !

6. Appreciation
The flower is seen ,
In a moment serene -
It's beauty captured ,
The beholder enraptured!-
BUT ! -
It is nothing unless shared ,
Lost in our painted past-
It does not last !- Alas !-
A memory to no one that cared...!
Postnote:
(Unless someone stared
And in that split second dared
To stop all of time -
And with appreciation drink it's wine !)

7. The Death of Sex
( A visionary poem written in Harare in 1992)
2021 AD : VISIONS OF THE FUTURE
" Welcome to unit 666 -
please insert your mark!
Glad you could come -
has it been your first ?
Allow me to explain -
So you're not left in the dark !
Aren't we all creatures -
Of licentious thirst !?"
What'll it be What's your pleasure ?
Have you a partner in mind -
And you've both agreed ?
GOOD - or would you prefer:
Our computable mate to measure !?
No worries then - relax friend -
Were here to fulfil your every need !
In a few moments you'll slip into complete brain - body isolation ,
No necessity for adverse adversity - just feel free !
All thought - desires satisfied minus the inner frustration!
But that's up to your partner - you'll soon see !
How to let your imagination run completely wild -
We aim to cross every orgasmic border-
You don't require passports - you're not a child !
By the way - I'm "ROBOCOPTIC " -
of the NEW WORLD ORDER !
PLEASE - put yourselves at REST !
Carnal Cornucopia - it's for the BEST !
The technologically speaking -
The Death of Sex has passed the test -
Wake up sunshine - it's 2021 -
You can MAKE LOVE with your mind !
....................
1992 AD : Visions of the PRESENT
Kobran Zankow - genius genetic engineer -
Over imbibed on Vodka- whisky and Beer ,
Was it he that unleashed the beast from Hades ?
Or was it the green monkey responsible -
For all the shades of AID- eees?
( we shall pause for a brief interval )
Slowly he picked up the telephone ,
paranoia and perplexity were visibly plain !
And the dragons danced through his brain...
" I promise I God - I'll never do it again !
Never again ! "
But too late it was to beg the Almighty -
For the insurance loan ...
And then he heard the news ALL ALONE!
The music over the receiver began to play -
' New York - New York '( Frank Sinatra )
Except the lyrics had changed ....
No - No... Not me !!! Not me....
But it was too damn late
And DEATH SMILED !-
" Start spreading the disease !-
It's coming your way
Start spreading the news
It's coming today...
Cause we're gonna make a brand new start of it ...
HIV...HIV...!!!
And if it can make here...
It can make it .. ANYWHERE !
HIV - HIV ... POSITIVELY -
its here to stay !
And the music stopped.
...............
1983 AD : VISIONS OF THE PAST
Not long ago came a black cloud to terrify ,
A sudden splurge ,
and out broke the dreaded lurge!
Had we but learned to heed , listen -
Or even to try...
Would this global scourge-
have found it's funeral dirge!
The swinging 60s - free sex -
And psychedelic flying
It makes me sick...
Where's the sense in playing Russian Roulette with your dick?
Hello celibate 90s - thousands are dying -
But millions are trying!
We can build a New World-
On Light- Communication and Love !
Or we can destroy it -
by rejecting the directives from above !
STOP AIDS- BEFORE IT STOPS YOU !
You are the tutor of the future-
That's who.
DEATH TO APATHY.
DEATH TO SEX.

9. THE RETURN
PART ONE :
Tell me what's going on in this world of plenty ?
Are we so damned empty - what's going on?
Tell me ...
Long have we abused , long have we misused ...
Will I dance solo a living dream ?
Sing alone ...
A reflective requiem .. ?
Now is the time as I write these lines ...
I SHALL RETURN !
- with the others ,
We shall save what is gone -
My sisters... my brother's ...
My father's ...my mothers...
Long have we abused,
Long have we misused !
( Pause )...sigh...
my cock forgets NOT the dawn!
The ! Earth's ! Not! For! Sale! - get it....
Will the sun rise tomorrow?
I want to swim upstream to spawn !
'Tis a quest , one that must not fail ...!
Achtung ! Hear ye - Hear ye :
Earth's GENOCIDE - OUR suicide !
The garbage - refuge - shit - pollution ...
The total haste- waste ,
our fathers wrought !-
Ironing out """"...this generation -
-we must STOP!
TURN it all GREEN , make it all CLEAN !
The technological ...the technological -
SCREAMING MUST CEASE ,
If only to release ....!!!!
What has been taught ...
So much to UN - LEARN !!!!
So much to do to UN - DO ..
A NEW WAR has to be fought ...!
Time ...time .....time to Turn -
Time ...time...TIME TO RETURN!
NOW is the Eleventh hour -
( from our destiny not to cower !)
We MUST - CAN ...and WILL fight - alright !?
Long, long ago Man held only -
the Secret of Fire...
We commanded throughout the planet ...
The respect of all
Then came the fall...
And we ruined it...
To lie twisting and burning in a Perverse Pyre...
Sacrificed -necklaced- mar-"tyred...."
Long have we abused-
Long have we misused...
We destroyed in a mere moment -
ONE CENTURY...
What took one millennia to create -
CAN YOU RELATE ?
..................................END OF END.
PART TWO
NO longer rock n roll-
But acid Rock and acid Rain !
Like a child with conscience clean....
I face you again - feeling no pain...
Like a child with conscience clean
I am happy now - yes
It has been long
So long
Yet here do I belong
Here shall I sing my song,
For it has been in This place
I see you clearly
In my minds eyes
For you have not deserted me...
Naked Laurel
Tourmaline skies
Here I am
No volcanic hell-
No purgatory
No burning inferno
Welcome to the golden garden -
EL REGRESSO AMIGO
End of End ---
-------------------------------------
PART THREE
The palm of hand holds the energy disc -
for change!
I am clothed in a friend ,
Borne aloft on a throne-
End of end ...
I SEE IT ALL ...!
I AM HERE...!
So much furniture to rearrange ....
And so little prejudices to exchange!
----------------------------------------
PART FOUR
We have broken the key to the sacred circle
We had the key...
We were once free...
We had once souls unshackled - unfurled ...
Why Lord ?
Lord why ?
Why did you allow us to destroy so quickly -
Your Creation !
In this verse I ask born of ....
Angry frustration !!
Long have we abused , long have we misused ...
We have killed you -
Maimed you...poisoned and tortured you...
And yet still you live !
We have taken your throat ...
And sucked out your heart ...
And still yet you live...!
Is it already too late ?
Can we afford to wait ?
End of End

Now is the time ...a new vision to start !
Values based on ....
harmony and Mutual Respect,
Killing machines must be DESTROYED,
A better foundation has to be built !
HUMAN - KIND cannot afford to lose this round ,
The darkened cloud of suppression -
Must make way to the blue colours of ...
LIBERATION !
What Great Sound there is-
of Great Expectations ,
Our Fathers sandglass bomb must be De- fused...
HUMAN- KIND , my friends ,
Cannot stand to be confused ...
Will it be Life Or Strife ...
End of End....- or Regeneration -
For the New Rainbow Nation !?
Time - Time - Time to Turn ,

Time - time - time to return -
So- so long have we misused ....
