The Pacesetters

We are the future
The future of Today
We are the future of tomorrow
The solutions to our generation.

We Impact
We influence
We set the pace
We are the pacesetters.

Just Believe

It makes the difference
Just believe
It takes you there.

No matter what happens
Just believe
Stay hooked to your dream
And believe.

Even when there seems to be no way
Keep on moving
And still believe
You will get to the top.

The couple of our time

Often seen together
In company of each other
Doing things together
Making things work together.

The artificial Siamese twins
Here they come again
Doing their thing
In their own way with style.

The atmosphere is filled with envy and jealousy
Yet they ignore the obvious
Holding tight to their doctrine
Believing it will see them through.

The inseparable
Couple of our time.
You are meant for each other?
I wish you the best.

I’m a Brave Soldier

I’m a Brave Soldier
From the onset it was made clear
This is not a battle for the fainthearted
Yet I was head bent.

All said it was time
A time to move and search
Searching for a new river to fish
Yet the fisherman is head bent.

Like shadow, the light is fading away
And the begins to go weary
All for the hope deferred
Yet I’ll wait.

I’ve not come this far
Just to throw in the towel
I’m a brave soldier
I’ve got a battle to win.

My Anticipated Celebration

Lost in the midst of unending thought
In the dark
Longing to see the end of the tunnel
Oh, how wonderful the experience to behold.

Anticipating the experience
Filled with mountainous expectation
Let my hope see me through
And take away the dark…

Come in, illumination
Your identity unfold
And bring to end
This unwanted longing experience.

That the white community be unfolded
From end to end
Let the white have their day
And the atmosphere filled with elation.

I've Got Joy

Deeper than the deepest of Oceans
Higher than the heavens from the Earth
Wider than the widest of all
Yet not out of reach, available to all.

Available to pick me up when I fall
To wipe my tears away
And shower my heart with Peace and joy
Overwhelming my inner-man with calmness.

Like a river joy in my heart flows
Not bowing to the season of the barren.
You've become my closest companion
All for the for the sacrifice made on the Cross.

Now I can afford to sing;
'I've got Joy like a river in my soul'
'I've got Joy that no man can give'.
Inexhaustible Joy flows within me all 'cos of YOU.

Pacesetters

We are in a race for the future
We are in the race not for adventure
We disregard the mixture
And keep our gaze on the big picture.

We live in today
We see the future
We ignore the challenges
In the territory of mixture.

Breaking the records
Long written by our forerunners
The generations unborn we owe this debt
And our integrity uphold.
We show the way forward
We are leaders of the future
We are the future of tomorrow
We are solutions to our generation.

The future is at stake

“Finalist”… what NEXT?

This is the time we’ve all waited for
Now it’s here, standing before us all
What have you got to offer it?
How much have you acquired?
How much have you got to deliver?
The expectation is high; and your audience
You can’t disappoint, they‘re all you’ve got.

We all celebrate
It’s the time we’ve all waited for
Four years has come and gone
Sacrificing a lot to make it a reality.
But, it’s not all about now…
What about the future?

What next?
What will you do with all you have gained?
That wealth of knowledge should not be wasted
Come on, don’t be a part of the wasteful generation…
Now a GRADUATE, what next?
