The RED and White Mumu Festival


My Mumu has finally ended,
I thought love was a real feeling,
My money was stirring at me in disgust,
It tried to warn me but it loves me too much to leave,
Every time I gave it to her, She smiles and calls me Honey,
I never thought it was because of Money,
I thought it was the feeling.


Oh, My Mumu,
The last time, I called her
My version of life was talking to me,
She said it was her blood and I believed,
I sent the devourer food to gain strength to plow my flower,
Oh, I cried when Jade's truth finally dawned on me,
I slapped him that night when is truth tasted bitter,
I thought I was defending her feeling.


Oh, Mumu never knew,
I knew but I choose to be ignorant because of my feeling,
People say it is a good thing and I sure loved it,
Lessons were learned from experience that was my story,
It all changed as this was an experience with lessons of untold stories,
If you ever understand me then you know it is an untold story,
It is never explainable, words will hide from your tongue.


Wake Up Mumu Man,
It was the Red and White Moon Festival,
Lovers will dance and merry in passion under the moonlight,
I prepared a banquet of flowers and chariot of a gift for her,
I got to her door to hear the sound of the conqueror,
Waging wars I always craved for with her,
I opened the door hoping It was a misplaced hearing as her mansion was never a battlefield,
I closed my eyes and fell to sleep as I saw her thighs hung up and the Conqueror swords running through her flowers,
I died, Oh No No No! not me, the feeling died
The Mumu Man woke up and Alas,
My Mumu has finally ended.

ALL ALONE



All alone, filled with her own thought
About her own life and someone
That someone is called everyone
Why should everyone be her thought?

Feelings she burden in her heart
Thought she burden in her head
Love takes away her heart
Everyone is right in her head

Evil and Devil
Good and God
Love and Man
Limitation and Traditions
This is the unexplainable thought running through her mind

Her wish becomes a fear
Her heart moan in despair
Everyone’s thought is disparaging me
Why? Her mouth forbids words to someone

The one who created everybody is not fallible agnised
Just like a beau ideal with more appraisal
He should have just let everything be visualised
And not make love, thought and feelings envisioned
If this had been she would be loving everybody and nobody

Now, I will have to wait and Hope
Hope everyone sees my feet and not my leg
Hope everyone understand my thought and not my head
Hope someone sees the colour and not the cloth
Hope everyone sees am in love with someone.

Shared Worries

Feelings are true
Secret are true
But the other person can't know
Except if the other person know.

Lies are false
Rumour are false
But the other person can't know
Except if the other person know.

Tears are cause by pain
Worries are signs of pain
But the other person can't know
Except if the other person know.

Feelings begat tears and pain
Secret begat rumours and worries
All begat sadness when not shared
Just let the other person know.

BORN DAY

1,2,3 all up to 30,
Days we count we forget when it up to 30,
As it become month another day we start counting,

In our mind is the day,
In our heart is the special day,
We celebrate birth day,
They celebrate death day.

I was born in a day,
I will be happy today,
I will also remember those days,
That I spent making hay,
And those day I spent saying hey,

I love everyday,
But am in love with this day,
That day I cried and everyone was happy,
That day is today my birthday.

This is in honour of a friend and a sister. Much love
