Heal These Wounds
Heights
Come speak and to the lights
And peace I shall within the innerself
Rights
Come speak to all these nights
And joy I should cherish along the journey
Life
Come take away this knife
And peace I shall find within the innerself
Love
Come elavate this lonelyness with a dove
And happiness I should cherish along the splendid journey

Answer The Teary Orphan
Upon killing my family
Did you ever consider the pain you left him with?
Hardly think of the dreams she had?
Did concious blow enough to burn away the cruelty?
Upon killing my family
Did you plan to replace the love?
Or by any chance intend to provide
Life for her to live?
Upon killing her family
Did you plan to her food and education?
Answer the orphan!

As Jelousy Took Over
And he saw u smilling
Then he started gazing
With greed grooling
As u laughed
His hatred started boilling
The feud with no beginning
But the cruel love had been growing
Little did u know it has been descending
I never called him my enemy
With war can not recall myself declaring
But Let my response stay pending
beacause the natural haters
Will always stay hating

There Is Race
Of no racism
Nor tribalism
Of no disrespect
And reject
Of no fears
Nor tears
Of no hate
Nor hurt
Of no flood
Nor blood
Of no rivalry
Nor slavery
Of no poverty
With no liberty
Of no war
Away from peace
Of no selfishness
Beyond selflessness

Jaqcui Broad
How I miss the sight of your name
The words of yours that never get lame
How I miss the write of reality
That in your poetry I saw possibility
Like Siyabonga I regarded you as my mentor the respect I had for u is way higher that any stiletto
Come back oh wonderful bird
Rescue out this sorrowful nerd
Just your name in my inbox
Will be music in my ears from the jukebox
Come back dear lady
Write once more oh fairlady

She Could Have Been
An old women
she sat in thought
looking at all these
beautiful young women
passing by the banch in the park,
she then starts to spill tears,
and regrets the missed opportunity
she strives not to believe,
that she has no home,
and memories of his youth days
Start boiling like a melted steel
And one question she asked
'Why did I not cherish my youth days'
Now no one, wants to be in the same pain,
trust me, you want to!

Presence A Myth
Past tells presence
And presence passes it
To the envied future
But this myth goes on
As there is no
Such a thing as present
Today is past
And tomorow is future
But when the sun rise
It is all declared a past
For every second I breathe
For every minute I live
I declare all that past
And so i live it behind
But for every morning
I await
That is where the future is

Broken Family
Lies
Deception
And too many secrets
With Articificial smilles
And False hearts at reign
Ingenuity of love
Causing impossibilities of life
I thought I had a family
I thought we had long reconciled
My broken family
Feeling empty at their presence
Pretending to be happy with no resilence
Faking that criminal smile
That cruel famous smile
Family not so famine
Household not so in hold at all
Home not so warmly

The Song Of An African
The Song Builds
The Song Destroys
The Song Dispenses
In Suspence The Song Reveals
In Time I Sing It
At Times I Bring It
To The Bank Near To My Heart
I Lie Awake With My Sleeping Eyes
And The Song Sings Herself
The Lyric Sings Himself
The My Mind Braniwashed With Honey To My Ears
The Song Feeds
The Song Provides Seeds
With Knowledge It Is Food.
With Wisdom Declared Wate
The Song Heals
And Yes In Pays The Bilss

Tcepser (Unscramble The Word)
No-one fed me respect
It was all for me to predilect
And was the blood flowing in my veins
It is now a natural demenour with no strains
No-one taught me respect
It was all for me to adapt other than neglect
As a toddler
With all respect no-one taught me how to walk,
As teenager
No-one taught me how to make sense when I talk
I did not drink it from any dam
I did not digest it from any book
I did not observe it from any wise man
Because by birth I knew
That with esteem, comes self-esteem
That with respect, comes self-respect
No-one told me how to respect
