Freedom



FREEDOM
By Costantino Oxinos

Wealth Possessions Greed Ego & War
One half too rich one half too poor
Institutionalised & Paralysed you want my Soul
Narrow minded Corpulence that succeeds to Control
Discrimination Starvation Poverty & Elite
One half too strong one half too weak
Empty hands full of Generations of Pain & Sorrow with Naked Eyes that can’t see Tomorrow
Slavery Trafficking Drug Lords & Galore
One half counting cash one half being a whore
Clutching for a life of More
But left  Disappointed & Sore
Blood Diamonds
Blood Money
Blood Shed
Blood Sex
When will it Stop what is Next?
Hurt me Kill me you know not what you do Ignorance & Emptiness is all that lives in you.

Freedom of expression
Freedom of speech
Free from war
Free to be at peace
Freedom of equality, the right to life
Free from dictatorship without a fight

Costantino Oxinos

I’d describe myself as a Chef, Entrepreneur and Poet. I’m half English and half Greek and reside in Bournemouth. I moved to South Africa at 16 and opened my first restaurant in my twenties, I then travelled around the world working and owned 4 restaurants in 4 Continents. I’ve catered for many influential clients to include Phillip Schofield, Hugh Scully, GMTV and The King of Malaysia. In 2020 I created “Herb It” a range of Artisan Herb Purées which won and commended 3 Taste of the West awards. I’m passionate about writing and had my first Poem Published in 2007 in The Cornwall Review. I’m very Spiritual and love to write “Heavy” poetry which I accompany with Art, I call this PoArt. I’m outgoing and lots of fun, honesty and loyalty are what’s true to my soul. My biggest wish is to have my poetry seen before I die. more…
