These poems have been written over a number of years; in fact as far back as Michael can remember! At the time of writing this poem Michael was a Gospel singer and very influenced by religious teachings. He has since broadened his musical scope and primarily sings reggae, however has ventured into distant territory covering a Cold Play song,‘Yellow.’ Michael is currently living his dream, I.E.: creating the Heritage of Ska Festival which hosted another successful event last night in Shoreditch.
Like a tear she flows
The river- inexhaustible mother
Unstoppable, patient, free
For joy-For victory
Bereavement-Pain
For reasons without name
Perpetual free
Beautiful mother flow
Inexhaustible father
Bringing, bearing, offering
Freely like a tear he flows,
Powerful, courageous,
Tranquil, strong, breaking danger like a twig in a storm.
Gathering to divide
Father river flow.
Inexhaustible lover
The river, crystal, nomad
Covers with meticulous care,
Like the mangrove after the monsoon
Marvellous, majestic.
No stone unturned
Lover river passionate flow
Gathering to divide.
