Love Hates Anger

When hatred invaded a weak thought,
The mind was prepared for defeat.
It was the will that fought,
Anger attacked without retreat.

Sad to hear the screams and cries,
Violence was the force that dictated.
With bleeding mind and denies,
Anger left the body negated.

Shame returned when all was lost,
Right was a wrong or a right choice.
Love stood faithless crisscrossed,
Regret of anger is loves voice.

With a stern salute
Marches a soldier
For his countries glory

In a moving band

Alerted in attention
He braves ahead
For any task or mission

In the changing wars
From Mahabharata to Rome
He stood the time
For defence or attack

My South Africa

Where the ancestor's spirits lives forever
Saluting Madiba for his endeavour
The dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky

Rise my people its time to toil.

Where the Lions roars in the jungles
And the Leopards seek its prey.
The buffaloes laze in the waters
And the rhino guards its territory.
Elephants graze the vast lands
Trumpeting the divine call
See Africa's big five
A land of nature's gift

Where gold and diamonds brings money
A country of milk and honey
