POETIC MASTERPIECE
Poetic Masterpiece: A Childbirth Of Profundity.
Like delivery of Divine Revelations
which favours calmness of wilderness,
it's brought forth in Creative-Glory-Of-Solitude:
an abode of Enlightenment in whose mirror of grace,
purest passions reflect out from shady reality —
to gratify inflamed curiosity of Inward-Eye,
as it wanders around source of enchantment,
seeking in expanded awareness to capture
the essence of a phenomenon shrouded in mystery.
In blessed, serene mood with passionate intensity,
mind labours hard to replicate images being
unveiled in the exalted realm of thought.
With illuminative wizardry that nudge limits of speech,
the wordsmith graced with breath of poetic creation
gives life to words —
freeing them from their rigid implications.
Soulful words that sway soul of the reader,
leaving the excited spirit with an enigma to ponder.
Such is the sublime nature of every Poetic Masterpiece.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Poetry is a free flight of creativity in the serene beauty of transcendent world. It emanates from deep recesses of the subconscious mind.
Painted on the canvas of POETIC MASTERPIECE is the essence and intricacies of poetry as an art, or what one may refer to as a critical probe into the essential nature of poetry.
In the poem, I have portrayed ingenious works of poetry as extraordinary creations - conceptualised and birthed in their authors sublime moments.
Intuitively, it is known that when creative energy is ignited by passion, while in a blessed serene mood, the poet/poetess poised for his/her artistic creation sometimes begins to hit transcendent moments - rising above the limitation of his/her physical level of consciousness to be favoured with The Breath Of Poetic Creation.
During those impulses of inspiration words are wedded with amazing skill and finesse to create sound, visionary clarity and impact, on a complex reality that is not easily accessible to the senses - a phenomenon that in any other forms of writing may prove quite cumbersome to depict.
A sublime perspective, a delicate crystallization of purest passions while in mental solitude, and exquisite care in rendition of words to utmost justice are the indispensable tools for a masterful poetic design.
The prize is an exclusive preserve of the devoted, intricate mind.
The Phoenix Strangler
With promise of job,
he lured her into a cane field.
His gentleness a veil of sanity.
Lurking in his mind,
a perversion of sex instinct:
'Bind her! Torture her! Kill her! '
Deep within comfort zone
suddenly brandishing his bludgeon,
countenance wearing mercilessness -
sight of which imported terror into her spine.
Desperate plea for mercy fueling his excitement.
Menacingly, her clothes he demanded.
Hissing in agony like pine tree,
gnashing her teeth before the incubus,
she stripped!
Her nudity assaulting his senses,
eyes flaming with lust,
he took stock of the bared flesh:
'Beautiful! Submissive! Horrified! '
Bound and gagged,
fantasy translating into reality,
all hell broke loose...
Urge gratified,
with her undergarment around her neck,
he sealed her fate.
Sixteenth victim of the unhinged mind:
Single mother of two horrendously murdered.
Not quite long, no sooner had he got home
than long arm of the law tapped his shoulders:
DNA found on victims had matched his.
Karma forced to be lenient,
he lives albeit in confinement.
No Death Penalty In Mzansi.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Mzansi is the affectionate name for South Africa.
The Phoenix Strangler - Sipho Mandla Agmatir Thwala (born 1968)is a South African rapist and serial killer. He began his year-long rape and murder spree in 1996. His modus operandi was to lure local women into accompanying him through the sugarcane field near the town of Phoenix in KwaZulu-Natal Providence with the promise of employment as domestic servants in hotels. Once they were deep within the cane field, Thwala would attack the women, bind them with their undergarments and then rape, strangle and bludgeon them to death. Afterwards, hoping to destroy any physical evidence of the attack, he would set fire to the cane fields.
Thwala was arrested in 1997 after South African police matched DNA found on the victims to DNA taken from Thwala in 1994 when he was arrested and acquitted for a rape charge.
On March 31,1999, the High Court in Durban found Thwala guilty of 16 murders and 10 rapes and sentenced him to 506 years in prison.
Thwala is currently being held at CMax penitentiary in Pretoria South Africa.
The Obsessive Agony Of Lust
Your primal passion - a flaming ferocity,
The raging fire consumes your dignity,
And shame is put to slumber.
Seduced by the wayward twin of Love,
Power of deviation subdued,
On pathway of despair you tread:
A burden too heavy to bear.
Mind drowning in bitter-sweetened sensation,
Onto elusive dream you strive to hold fast,
but alas, it keeps vanishing like mirage in a vast
Desert: a volatile mix of hope and anxiety.
Raving lunatic you've become
Seeking savage-desire's fulfillment;
An ugly reflection of nature devoid of contentment.
Lust: a nightmare in the lonely bed of infatuation.
The Evil Face Of Religion
The Abyss Of Drug Addiction
Colossal Miscarriage Of Justice
Children Of The Street
In their faces a colourless gaping of life's adversity:
the hopeless grief of a hellish existence;
Malnourished, starving, filth and olfactory horrors;
Their humiliating nothingness clothed in rags;
Usually barefooted with low self-esteem;
Begging or rummaging through garbage for
thrown-away foods to assuage pangs of hunger;
Oftentimes feeling cold that comes from being sickly;
Sleeping or indulging in cheap cocktails of toxic
sedatives at the dark corners of the street:
these dispositions identify them to society as
'Children Of The Street: The Roofless And Rootless Kids.'
The hapless minors squat in the open on the street,
or at some ill-suited but out of sight places.
Day to day they fall prey to all manner of violence
and abusive treatments, in hostile surroundings
where childhood apparently has come to an end.
They're menaced by extreme weather conditions:
be it scorching summer heat, severe storms,
or bone-chilling, subzero temperatures.
They belong to nowhere and to no one:
no place to reckon upon as 'home sweet home',
and no comfort, whatever, is found on the street
where the public spurn them with icy contempt.
'Children Living On The Street' is a global reality.
With the urban slums serving as notorious hotbeds,
poverty accompanied by toxic homes account for
a vast number of minors who migrate onto the street.
Family break-up, parental demise, abandonment, war,
and other socio-economic/political changes that take
their toll on them, also prod them into homelessness.
Left to their fate, the vulnerable kids miss out on
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth.
In the absence of needful support, they struggle for
survival on the fringes of society - trapped in a cycle
of destitution that only few are lucky to escape from.
Homeless Children, through no fault of their own,
are denied the very essentials of childhood.
Unwanted and uncared for they bear the brunt of
all sorts of contagious diseases, lice and bedbugs
infestations, plus the forever pestering flees that feast
on open wounds - with scant access to healthcare.
Stomachs plagued by worms, they roam the streets
where no public toilets are left ajar to get in free.
Barely clinging to life, roofless kids hang on desperately.
With scarcely any human hands to wipe away tears
of bitter pain, they gnash their teeth in extremities.
Many live and yield up the ghost on the street.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
The poem is a forthright portrayal of the fierce wretchedness of Homeless Kids, as seen mostly in third world and developing countries (some parts of Africa, Asia and South America) .
Bear in mind that the vast majority of children who end up homeless, do not do so by choice. Disruptive home situations are mostly responsible for mere minors leaving the family house, to seek a sense of wellbeing that has eluded them at home on the street.
Street Connected Kids (Street Kids) fall into one of two groups: 'Children On The Street' or 'Children Of The Street'.
'Children On The Street' spend time on the street playing truant, hawking or being subjected to other forms of child labour - to assist in the household income. They're not entirely without protection from their families or guardians, to whom they return to at the end of the day to bath, eat, and sleep.
'Children Of The Street', on the other hand, are literally homeless: they're roofless and they're on their own. They're adjudged to be rootless because many do not know their families, and the ones that have left theirs homes view such ties in a negative manner. This group of street kids comprises mainly, abandoned, orphaned and runaway minors.
The street is the place where homeless kids live and struggle for existence on daily basis. Highly vulnerable to abuse, violence and all sorts of bad influences, they often suffer from depression, anxiety, and trauma. Physical injuries remain one of the leading causes of death among Children Of The Street.
Albinos On The Razor-edge Of Danger
At the behest of witch doctors headhunters are on the prowl.
They're watching, waiting, stalking and avoiding detection,
in the hope of an ambush with a brutal ferocity.
Their bowie knives, and their gruesome machetes,
as sharp as a guillotine blade that is poised for execution,
certain to dismember any unfortunate victim
into chunks of bleeding flesh in a matter of seconds.
Faced with the looming menace many albinistic
persons are housebound in their homes,
swallowed up by anxiety and depression,
in a sustained state of fear for their own safety
and a deep sense of distrust for fellow beings.
But whenever compelled by a crucial necessity,
they would nervously venture out nonetheless.
Such unavoidable runs, risky as hell, can easily
deliver them into the grasps of the cruel fate.
The horrific butchering of persons with albinism
in some parts of Africa, with a single purpose
of harvesting their blood, internal organs,
and other body parts for sacrificial rituals,
has left so many of them revoltingly beheaded;
limps cut off; ears, breasts, and genitals sliced off;
hearts, kidneys, livers, and eyes gouged out —
while victims were still alive in many cases.
Some albinos are also known to have been
buried alive, as human-offerings, to appease
blood-thirsty deities or spirits. Even the ones
who are already deceased and interred are not
left to rest in peace, as their remains are being
dug up and robbed of hair, teeth and bones.
Myths have it that the blood, organs, and other
body parts of the albino can be used to harness
magical powers; that they are known to yield
powerful outcomes when used as ingredients
in preparing portions, charms or amulets, that
can bring riches, provide fortification against
harm, infuse extraordinary powers, or exorcise
ancestral wrath believed to be the root-cause of
the existential anxieties of those who use them.
In those African societies that seem full of myths
and witchcraft, the notion that albinistic people
are endowed with mystical powers is one that
is deeply entrenched in the public perception.
As old as generations this harmful superstition
is what, in recent years, increasing numbers of
sorcerers and criminal charlatans draw on to
trick people into the illusion of human sacrifice.
To validate the efficacy claims of such a weird
practice, these black magicians and con-artists,
who act as both traditional healers and holymen,
translate the existing legends and folklores
on potency of albino in dark magic into terms
that make sense to those who consult them.
Quite keen on making merchandise of persons
with albinism, the so-called witch doctors have
put a price on their heads — thus assigning
a commercial value to members of the group
in the eyes of predatory individuals, who are
lured into the clandestine trade in albinos
and their body parts to make quick money.
The tragic outcome of this bounty on albinos —
dead or alive, adults or children, is the rise of
criminal networks that revolve around witch
doctors, including scouters, body snatchers,
kidnappers, traffickers, killers, and others
who also play their part in sinister schemes
set up by the juju men to feather their nests
at the expense of their clients' murky motives.
The ritual murders of albinos in these societies
remain largely a crime driven by a boundless
quest to gratify out of reach gnawing-desires,
coupled with the widespread beliefs that such
sacrificial rituals work. These superstitions are
by no means limited to the chiefly uneducated,
poor masses, since so many of the clients who
patronize the greedy witch-doctors are people
of means from many different walks of life —
mostly those politicians and entrepreneurs
who believe that lucky talismans made from
albino body parts can make them win elections,
or usher in an era of boom in their business
ventures, by bewitching voters or prospects into
favouring their candidacies, goods or services.
This belief that people with albinism possess
special powers, that can bring success in just
about everything, is nothing short of lethal.
In the rural areas of some African countries
where everything that happens, whether
good or bad, is directly associated with the
intervention of the spirits, vicious onslaught
on albinistic persons appears to be rampant.
They are being hunted down and slaughtered
like animals by ritualistic criminals, who are all
linked to the trafficking networks contracted
or established by the traditional spirit healers
themselves to procure these 'commodities'.
Usually, based on the wishes of their clients,
the juju men will determine the body parts
needed to make a given type of potion, charm
amulet or talisman. Through the networks of
their criminal contacts, they will set in motion
a train of clandestine events which would
wind up either in severe maiming or murder
of ill-fated albino with an astonishing cruelty.
Homeless albinistic people, who used to roam
the streets and pathways of cities and villages
as beggers, bear the brunt of the brazen assaults.
With many of these exposed targets already
sent to their early graves; armed with knives,
machetes, and guns at times, human hunters
are now raiding secluded homes after sunset.
While at it they would forcefully abduct, or
kill and dismember their albino victims before
the eyes of their frequently injured and subdued
family members, who helplessly watch in horror
as human poachers make away with their trophies.
Most of these brutal attacks are against children,
not only because they are easier to abduct
but also due to a higher ritual value assigned
to their innocence, which is generally believed
to enhance the potency of ritual products.
In broad daylight albinistic kids are preyed on
while on their way to and from school.
Infants and toddlers are snatched away from
their mothers, who oftentimes have sustained
serous injuries in their brave but mostly futile
attempts to rescue crying babes from kidnappers.
Several cases have been recorded in which albino
mothers carrying their albino babes were
hacked to death and their bodies mutilated
alongside those of their murdered children.
Due to the misconception that albinistic women
and girls inhibit a cure for terminal diseases
including HIV and AIDS, they are as well being
targeted for ritual rape that sometimes result in
unwanted pregnancies or death of victims.
In those sub-Saharan African countries where
albinos amount to big money, their lives are
constant battles to evade bounty hunters.
Many of them have disappeared without a trace;
the remains of the ones who were later found
were recovered with some body parts missing —
depending on the kind of spell desired to be cast.
Some of the victims, who by a miraculous stroke
of luck survived from the almost certain death,
are left terribly disfigured and disabled for life.
In the most heartbreaking cases of hate crime
against albinos, they have often been abducted
and sold to trafficking networks by members of
their families such as fathers, uncles, partners,
or other relatives out of desperation for money.
In the East, Central and some parts of Southern
Africa, where black market exits for albinistic
persons and their body parts, they are being
trafficked within and across the porous borders
of countries of these neighbouring regions,
by the commercial trafficking networks hoping
that by selling a 'full set' of albino body parts
they can make money as high as 75,000 USD —
an immense fortune in these poor countries.
A living albino is said to be worth much more,
while single body parts such as arm, heart, or
head, can fetch several thousands of dollars.
These values make the underground trade in
albinos one of the most profitable and grisly
forms of human trafficking around the globe.
Ironically, in these improvished societies where
individuals with albinism are believed to be
a source of good fortune, they are at the same
time being demonized and also being targeted
for violent attacks because they are presumed
to be cursed beyond their 'ghostly' appearance.
Widely perceived as a haunted group of people
who are bearers of badlucks, albinistic persons,
as often as not, are being blamed for the outbreaks
of epidemic diseases, locust invasions, droughts,
floods, hurricanes, and other natural hazards
whose occurances are due to climatic factors.
It is this dehumanisation of the people living
with albinism that provides the rationale for
their stigmatization, making it all too easy to
justify all manner of prosecutions against them.
Albinos are the objects of emotional, verbal
and psychological abuse, often followed up
with the physical assaults they have to endure
in societies that would rather be without them.
This irrational hatred for people with albinism
implies that even the heinous crimes that are
being committed against them are largely met
by the callous indifference of their community
members, and not in any way deterred by the
erring inaction of the law enforcement officials —
many of who feel the same disdain for albinos.
Perhaps the worst act of betrayal many albinos
have to contend with is that from their blood
relatives who look at them as cosmic retribution.
Almost always the initial reaction to the birth of
a baby with a pale skin is one of shock disbelief
and humiliation from parents and close relatives.
Parents feel ashamed of their babies and fear
the social impacts of the unexpected birth.
Because such infants are believed to be potential
sources of calamities, they are at times banished,
abandoned, or killed after birth by their families
in an effort to root out the imagined threats.
In some places, even when close relatives are
fond of their albinistic baby, they can be forced
by their community members to give up the
infant for ritualistic killing as impelled by custom.
Because of widespread misapprehensions about
albinism and the patriarchal nature of most
African societies, as is the custom women are
the ones being blamed for giving birth to albino.
The accusation gets worse in families who
before the unusual birth had no albinistic
individuals in their traceable ancestries.
Cases abound of female spouses who have
been subjected to domestic violence, jilted, or
chased away by their husbands and in-laws —
who are convinced that such 'miscreant wives'
were accosted or had been unfaithful to have
delivered for them a baby with a pale skin.
Sometimes, though, there were accounts where
men accepted their baby and offered support.
This rejection of mothers and their albinistic
babies due to cultural taboos leaves them
exposed to increased levels of poverty, isolation,
and abuse in their communities, since no men
are there to protect them as their very own.
Historically, people with albinism seldom find
suitable, pigmented partners to date or marry.
Notwithstanding family objections against such
an 'unholy union', some, out of genuine love,
still go ahead to marry their albino sweethearts.
By defiling the odds to tie the knots, the albino
female spouses in particular often come face
to face with malicious, whispering campaigns
or direct accusation of witchcraft against them.
Because albinos are believed to be inhabited
by evil spirits that enable them to cause harm
to people and things, often their kit and kin
would blame them for having a hand in the
illness, untimely death, or any other forms
of misfortunes that may have befallen them.
Both as mothers of albinistic kids and mothers
who themselves have albinism, these sets of
women, who are badly impacted by the disorder,
often face such baseless but serious allegations
in many communities — where a claim that one
has bewitched another is usually enough for
banishment or lynching of the accused to occur.
Being the common pariah of the African societies
albinos are on the receiving end of social snub.
On daily basis, they face deprecating stares and
harassment from the public wherever they go.
Quite often, they are denied entry or kicked out
of shops, restaurants, taverns, hotels, saloons
and other such public places by the owners.
As one would expect under these dire circumstances,
businesses set up by albinos hardly ever succeed.
For the same reason of albinos being bad omens,
families who have such a member struggle to
find housing to rent, and tenants who welcome
an albinistic baby face eviction by their landlords.
Denial of access to public transport adds another
layer of challenge for albinos: in some places,
many buses and taxis do not stop to pick them up.
Even in places of worship like shrines, mosques,
temples and churches, where one would expect
to find comfort in the midst of prosecution
and isolation, albinos are as well being treated
as outcasts on the basis of their skin colour.
Surprisingly, the ugly stereotyping and prejudice
against albinistic individuals are also common
in the healthcare setting. Because numerous
healthcare providers are biologically naive
about the natural causes of albinism, day in
day out they blatantly violate albinos' right
to life and dignity. Even in hospitals or clinics
where the medical personnel are reasonably
informed about the true nature of albinism,
this knowledge runs parallel with the harmful
superstitions that border on witchcraft — since
these health workers are products of society.
Their negative attitudes towards albinos are
clearly visible in their verbal abuses and their
reluctance to attend to albinistic patients,
not to mention their often unjustified denial
of medical treatment to members of the group.
Because of the ill-founded belief that albinism
can be transmitted to a foetus in the womb —
if a pregnant woman and an albino came into
a close proximity to each other, expectant
mothers who have the disorder are often
prevented from integrating at maternity homes.
Due to the fear induced by the cultural taboos
surrounding albinism, medical assistants and
nurses often refuse to touch, weigh, dress,
or carry albinistic babies in the delivery room,
thus abandoning their weak and exhausted
mothers to manage on their own after labour.
In no small measure this systematic exclusion
of albinistic individuals from proper medical
attention contributes to a very high incidence
of skin cancer among albinos living in Africa.
The legends associated with albinism in africa
have a negative impact on the lives of people
with the birth defect, from the moment of their
birth until their death. They grow up feeling
bad about themselves and, constantly, they
walk on eggshells always struggling to fit in
and be accepted in societies that are very
hostile towards them. Due to the high level
of illiteracy on the continent most albinos
do not know why they were 'born too light',
neither do their mothers who had either
given birth to them at home, or in a maternity
clinic where they had been hastily discharged
with no form of counselling received after birth.
Scientifically proven to be of genetic origin,
albinism is a partial or total lack of melanin
pigment responsible for tanning the skin and
for giving the eyes and hair their colouration.
For a child to be burn with the condition both
parents must carry the gene that transmits
albinism for it to be passed on, regardless of
whether they themselves are albinos or not.
Albinism is found in all ethnicities and races
around the globe and within the animal world.
The absence or insufficient supply of melanin,
a substance that also protects the skin cells
against harmful ultraviolet rays, implies that
those living with the disorder are prone to
developing sunburn, blisters, and skin cancer.
Due to an elevated sensitivity to glare which
reduces their range of sight, albinos have a blurry
vision of things around them and experience life
in a state of 'partial blindness' without glasses.
People with the congenital oddity experience
various forms of bias against them, in differing
degrees of harshness by nations, worldwide.
In the western world, where they are better off
and often go unnoticed due to their close
outward form with that of the general public,
discrimination against them is mostly based on
their poor eyesight. A typical example would
be the refusal of driving licence to members of
the group in some of these advanced nations.
Discounting that, individuals living with the
condition in these deveoped countries are well
integrated into the main stream societies —
where state-support systems are in place
to assist them in those aspects of their lives
that pose challenges to their lifelong disability.
As a result, albinos in the western world are
able to go after their dreams and aspirations.
Being as healthy as everyone else they lead
meaning full lives with the normal live spans,
having adapted quite well to their disabilities.
On the contrary, in Africa, where anti-albinism
runs deep, the stripping of albinistic people of
their humanity virtually affects every aspect
of their lives. So many of them, for example,
have been denied access to education because
they are generally thought to be dullards and
inept beings who cannot cope in school or in jobs —
hence a waste of their families' merge resources.
This false impression stems from their usually
poor academic records and high dropout rates.
Far from being unintelligent group of people,
African albinos can be as talented as everyone
else; their dismal scholastic achievement is
mainly due to the various barriers that militate
against their educational progress such as
ill-suited learning environment, the dearth of
teaching provisions, and their inability to access
optical aids for the enhancement of their eyesight.
On top of everything, stake holders in education
sector including policy makers, administrators,
school authorities and teachers, who are largely
uninitiated about the learning needs of albinistic
pupils, pay no attention to the visual problems
the learners face in class without contact lenses
by not offering to them extra help nor support.
Because most albinistic children are afflicted with
rapid eye movements that make letters of texts
become shaky, the unavailability of textbooks
with enlarged prints means that they are unable
to see clearly what they are reading or writing.
In addition to that, the fact that such learners
are not given the privilege of sitting in positions
where they can see best in classrooms puts a
further strain on their vision of the chalkboard.
The school experience of albinos are worsened
by stigma which paves way for their isolation,
ridicule and bullying, that come from teachers,
schoolmates and, especially, their classmates
many of who do not want sit next to them.
With only a few willing to befriend them or
shoulder the burden of being their teachers,
albinistic learners are left feeling inadequate,
lonely and alienated in school. This situation
not only frustrates them, it also affects their
self-confidence and academic performance.
These difficulties, along with the problem of
albinos being abducted from schools for ritual
purposes, are mainly the reasons why most
of them end up as primary school dropouts.
This lack of education means that a massive
majority of people with albinism are qualified
only for menial jobs, in which they often have
to work outdoors without sufficient protection
against cancer-causing rays of the scorching sun —
their 'silent' and number one killer in Africa.
Through a brutal discrimination that deprives
them of the economic tools and social skills
that are needed to live productives lives,
the albinistic people, already restricted in their
job choices due to a low tolerance for the
sun’s harmful radiation, are left hopelessly
jobless and miserably consigned to poverty
with no means of sustenance whatsoever.
Only a negligible fraction of them living mostly
in the cities are able to access health checks,
with countless number of others unable to afford
simple remedies like sun-protective garments,
sunscreen creams, sunglasses, wide-brimmed
hats and umbrellas — all collectively vital for
them to live healthy lives in the sunny continent.
With these life-saving means out of the reach
of most, and the fact that little or no guidelines
exist about skin cancer risks and prevention,
an overwhelming majority of albinos living in
Africa die prematurely before the age of forty
due to skin cancer, according to estimates.
While people with albinism once had to only
avoid the blazing African sun and the bullying
they have to stomach in their communities,
they have in recent times withdrawn into their
homes in the face of more frightening threats:
of sexual violence, abduction, horrifying death,
and mutilation of their bodies by ritualistic killers.
But even there, in their homes, they aren’t safe.
Clearly trapped in the dark side of magical belief,
albinos pay the price for superstition in Africa.
Theirs is a life on the razor-edge of danger.
