Africans Are Crying
by Fitzroy R. Francis
Africans are crying, but they are not alone
For there are many who care and have shown
Through unity and love, we can restore
The beauty of the continent, forevermore
As they sing their tunes of doom
Their land raped by the greed of invaders looms
Many are confined to the cages of despair
Yearning to soar like birds in the air
Children dying in the mines and it's no lie
Enslaved for cobalt, innocently robbed
Shattered dreams and their hopes bobbed
In the heart of Africa, tears flow freely
It's a struggle to find relief, not merely
Where are the compassionate souls who should be by Africa's side
The great nation doesn't care who died
Lives were lost, in the depths of the trail
The whispering winds of the truth, it's not a fairytale
With Jah as the shield, and the ancestors guide
They are fighting for the continent's pride
Africa's minerals know no bounds
A treasure that forever resounds
Amid this darkness, a light appears
A ray of hope, dispelling the fears
Africans in this plight, it's not right
One day we'll conquer, with our collective might
Together, strive to break the chains
To bring an end to these unjust gains
All Africans deserve to be free
To live a life filled with honor and glee
Let's join forces and take a stand
To lend support, and give a helping hand
This is the way to rearrange the change
And secure victory for Africa, forever in range.
Lost Civilisation
by Fitzroy R. Francis
We are a lost civilization of realization
Of which there is no documentation
The world faculties are trying to refute
So Archeologists digging for the truths
Astronauts blasted off into space looking for trace
Anthropologists studying who we are
Biologists exploring our DNA afar
Ethnologists think that they verse about our origin
Religious zealots think they have the answer to sin
Geologists examining why the Earth is so vast
Historians try piecing together our past
Philosophers ponder if our existence came from a blast
Sociologists defining human behavior
Theologists waiting for a saviour
Psychologists delving into our state of mind
Physicists searching for the secrets that bind
Artists capturing the essence in their art
Musicians playing the melody from their heart
If every occupation can come together
We wouldn't be relying on prayers
And to the agnostic
There's no doubt we are monotheistic
A lost civilization where there were no cars or electric light
No superstitious character or fright
No bombs, guns or ammunition
No disease to kill our generation
No man-made destruction and pollution.

The Wind Rage
by Fitzroy R. Francis
When the wind gets wild it rage
A tempestuous display of nature's stages
Under the force, the trees sway and bend
Branches twisted in the end
Sturdy trunks strain against the powerful gusts
It's a battle of strength as some trees fall to the dust
Their limbs broke and crashed to the ground
Roots gripping desperately earthly bound
Leaves were stripped away and carried off into the air
Vulnerable branches were left bare
Unable to withstand the tempestuous wind
Everything in its way succumbs like sin
When the wind gets wild it rage
A scene of destruction and havoc on all page
Roofs torn apart, debris scattered all around
Nature's fury makes a resounding sound
The howling wind is something to fear
No place untouched, showing no care
Buildings tremble, windows shatter
As the tempestuous wind continues to batter
People seek shelter, holding on tight
Praying for safety, throughout the night
But amidst the chaos, there is a beauty
The power of nature, wild and free on its duty
Be still, a calm will descend
And life will go on, on the path it intends.
After The Storm
by Fitzroy R. Francis
As the world spins on its axis
We’re here for the ride
Walking by the ocean
To hear the incoming tide
The mystic winds speak and it never lies
The sun is there, up in the sky
It shines on me, it shines on you
Let's start this day, we've got much to do
We take what comes
From nature, we never run
After the storm, there is a calm
It was cold but now it's warm
After the rain, the sun shines
It was cold but now it's warm
Watching the people passing by
Stars begin to fill the evening sky
The young and old were helped along
Care for the weak, and the strong
It’s written there, in the sand
Come on over and take my hand
Life chemistry makes us one
Despite our differences, love is the bond
Remove hate and have faith
In our own hands are our fate
Now the rainbow is high
We can all forget the sigh
Earth vegetation looks good where we stand
Let's do our best whenever we can.

No Child Abused
by Fitzroy R. Francis
We are tired of seeing the children undergoing humiliation
They are the future of our civilization
We must train them in the right way
So bad judgment is not their day
Never take away their freedom
And force them to live in random
Empower them to make their own choices
Then they will realize
There are responsibilities that they must take
The tasks that no one must break
They need to learn wisdom and knowledge through their own experiences
It's through these lessons that they will truly understand
And if tempted to go astray
Instructions will guide their way
Be mindful of the examples we portray
Our actions and words have an impact
So keep them intact
It is our behavior they will emulate
They are the generation to assimilate
Let's invest more time in their development
And don't be shy about commitment
To create a world where they can thrive
They must know the importance of how to survive.
Broken Home
by Fitzroy R. Francis
Broken homes cause inaccurate norms
Instructions given are hard to adhere to
The lack of moral guidance
Can't be restored by finance
Parents' faith, passion, and patience, are sometimes abuse
Discipline is refuse
Leading to insecurity, and disgrace
It hurts the heart, there is no solace
The development of our youth is crucial
Amidst the pain, we must remember that family is vital
We have the power to create a change
Foster a sense of love and rearrange
Let's exalt Jah's name with praise
To heal the wounds of the craze
Children are like mustard seeds, small but full of potential
It is our responsibility to give them attention
Nurture and support their good intentions
We must respect their career of choice
Once it's true, we will all rejoice
Let's provide them with a strong foundation
Teach them self-trust, and the value of education
Broken homes arise from many circumstances
To break the cycle needs resistance
Create a conducive fulvironment for our children
So they can connect with kindred.

I Held The Moon
by Fitzroy R. Francis
Sitting on a mountain where I held the moon in my hands
I am immersed in the awe-inspiring beauty of nature's plan
A sight to behold as a story unfolds
No more the half is untold
Into an infinite space of glittering lights
The stars twinkle like diamonds, painting the celestial beauty of the night
Here, I am free to contemplate and reflect, to embrace the tranquility that surrounds me
In this moment, I feel a sense of joy and wonder
Creating a harmonious symphony that fills my soul and away all blunder
It's life itself takes center stage in this grand display
Inviting me to be a part of its glorious phenomenon
My imagination soars, a captivating flight
Witnessing nature's magnificence, with sheer delight
A testament to the cosmos, it's infinite all
A gentle reminder of galaxies that enthrall
The moon, so far away, becomes tangible and within my reach
The seemingly impossible can be achieved and dreams can be realized if we dare to believe.
In the Shadow of the Moon
by Fitzroy R. Francis
Under the starry glorious night
Where the moon, our celestial neighbour lights
A fascination for humanity
Its luminous glow and presence inspired solidarity
In the shadow of the moon, I stand
Trying my best to overstand
A world of mystery unfolds
Its secrets invite us to explore
Throughout history, it has held a prominent place
Ancient civilizations attributed mystical powers to its grace
Influence on tides and seasons
Played a crucial role for many reasons
Its proximity to Earth has captivated explorers
As they pondered its wonders
Mysterious discoveries through exploration
The origin of the moon is a topic of scientific discussion
In Jah Almighty my faith is strong
As a poet, I know I belong
Moonlit nights backdrop for countless tales
Our desires and aspirations never fail
From poetry to music, it captivates audiences and fuels their imagination
In the shadow of the moon, awaits a realm of fascination
The vastness of the cosmos and the limitless possibilities
Its timeless allure inspires us to reach for the probability
A source of inspiration that transcends time and space
That gives us nothing but pure solace.

Elevation
by Fitzroy R. Francis
At the height of the confusion, amidst the chaos and distraction
Don't be stimulated by the illusion
Be like people who find solace in artistic expression
Through paintings, music, and poetic creation
They find an outlet for their emotions and passion
In this world of miscommunication and misperception
Their art becomes a form of honest reflection
They use their talents to challenge the misrepresentation
And expose the truth through their creative interpretation
Leaders without representation and hidden agendas
Manipulating the masses with their propaganda
Using religion as a tool for their ascension
They disregard humanity and breed division
But the truth cannot be hidden forever
The people are waking up and standing together
No longer will they fall for political deflection
They demand honesty and a truthful connection
Listen, Jah people, it's time to break free from deception
Embrace love, unity, and self-reflection
Cherish your life and its divine manifestation
Without each other, there are no solutions
Believe in yourself, find your inner elevation
Let your clarity guide you toward liberation
It's time to have a conversation about condescension
And strive for a world free from prejudice and discrimination
If you ever feel a lack of motivation
Think of the next generation's aspiration
Their future depends on our livication
To create a world of love and inspiration
No more frustration with our identification
Celebrate our diverse cultures and integration
Life's journey is not just an excursion
But a chance to make a positive contribution
The objective of our existence goes beyond the destination
It lies within our purest intentions
Let's be good to all nations, without hesitation
And create a world filled with love and appreciation
So let us rise above disillusion
Spread justice in every situation
Together, we will overcome complication
And build a world of inclusion and unification.

May joy surround you in all that you do
She cares about her family, that much is clear
Her love for them is steadfast, strong, and sincere
Compassionate and comely, she radiates grace
Her kindness and warmth light up any space

One with the highest level of confidence and might
She faces challenges with determination and light
Filled with ambition and pride, she reaches for the stars
Never settle for anything less than what's ours

Where overstanding and empathy can be relieved
So as you go along your way, remember her light
May happiness guide you, morning, noon, and night
Her wish for you is simple, yet profound
May joy and love in your life always be found.

Mother's Love
by Fitzroy R. Francis
A mother's love knows no bounds
With respect and politeness, she surrounds
She never forgot nurturing and care
Compassion flows when danger is near
Children of her womb
Her love is from birth to tomb
We sought her strength, both physical and mental
As she assiduously works, managing life's essentials
When we err, sadness fills the air
But with corrective measures, she brings pleasure and repair
In her heart, impossibility finds a home
For she forgives always, no matter what, she never leaves us alone
Keep being who you are, blessings abound
In failure or a fall, we stand tall on solid ground
She's the bridge that connects us all
Her love effectively breaks down the walls.
The Titanic Love
by Fitzroy R. Francis
Forced love is a crying shame
Her parents are the ones to blame
A woman's heart disappears into the bottom of the sea
Couldn't be rescued, his frozen body sinks
She held his hand until it slipped away
Her hope dashed like fire lost its flames
Drowned in sorrow, she remains
In a world filled with despair and disdain
Her soul, like a shattered mirror on the sea floor
Reflecting shards of a love, that isn't anymore
Her tears blend with the salty sea
In the depths, no one hears her plea
The ocean, a silent witness to her pain
Her heart echoes a love song, sung in vain
His memory, a ghost ship sailing in her mind
In the abyss of her thoughts, a treasured moment in time
Her love, a forgotten song, a lost lullaby
Echoing through the deep, where their promises lie
Her heart, a sunken ship, home to silent screams
Love is now a distant dream
In the cold sea, she's left to weep,
Her love is a secret the ocean will keep
As her rescuers appeared, they could see her fears
She is now secure and a new beginning is ensure
A love that will be in the past but its memory is here to last.

The Love Train

It blossoms like a flower, a radiant star
With each passing station, hearts connect
A symphony of emotions, love's dialect
