Freedom of Rich Versus Poor

I’m famous but they’ll never know me 
I will never publish my poetry 
and risk public violence against my honesty
Though fame was always my destiny 
Freedom fighters died so my voice could be as loud as the colour of my oppressor’s skin
Yet still my sound cannot be heard over the valleys and mountains that still separate us 
From our orthopaedic mattress to their plastic covered sponges 
that prevents their tears from seeping in as they cry each night for emancipation. 
Mothers of children who walk distances we drive 
for an education that is a right to each 
Yet they still have to struggle for. 
Suffer for.
Barefoot on dry soil with cracks wide open yet still expected to feed the same stomachs that fail it.
Scorching heat on their back as we rub sun screen and block the burning fires of truth that we are no better, 
Bank accounts that make us smile during the day and at night we toss and turn and never find sleep troubled souls of imprisonment.
Peace be upon your heart dear brother detached from the same cord of the same brother today is your enemy 
The cord of creation from Adam and Eve until Madam met Steve 
No, that wasn't just to rhyme Steve was the garden boy 
that’s when skin colour mattered.

What religion speaks of wealth and colour? 
and hails it more precious than the poverty they suffer.
When the pallbearers whisk you around like a light feather carrying you back to where it all began, 
nothing but dust and ashes 
no lights or camera flashes 
Or your pompous tongue lashes 
did I mention the fake eyelashes.
When we race for the finish line what awaits us in the end? 
Education is freedom 
Ignorance is illiterate 
but who weighs our intelligence?
Against who or what?
The rich versus the poor
How did you get rich?
The rich versus the poor
How did you stay poor?
The rich versus the poor 
What defines such?

Follow Me On Twitter

Follow me on twitter
We don’t know where we‘re going 
yet all we ever want is followers
A simple case of the sightless leading the blind 
Into the light less than progressive.
So you can follow me on twitter that’s something I can handle
They told me the more followers I get 
The more popular I become 
This popularity doesn't pay it’s all just for fun.
Fake believers who retweet 
call me sweet 
in all my tweets 
but never recognise me on the streets.
If they do check it on your timeline 
“just saw hash tag one of my followers”.
What are we leading each other into?
Aren't we supposed to socialise and network instead of telling lies on social networks?
Sharing videos of how hoes twerk.
The pictures we post for every instant move we make,
I bought new shoes click send
We downing some booze click send
Yow check out her boobs click send
Then the things that make us sick trend.
Nude disgusting pictures of how chicks bend.
And the pretentious selfies with that fake friend.
Moving images of things we dream about, 
posing next to things we only see around,
Live without and but always in the background.

Follow me on twitter
I don’t know where I’m going but I just want some followers.
Leading each other into darkness with ignorance.
If I don’t ever follow back pardon the arrogance
All the things we posting up show no such intelligence.
Tapping on keypads tap tap into direct messages, 
Tap tap in a follower’s bed…
Is that where this following leads to, tap tapped.
Riding each other like on horse saddles
From these lame so called handles
We sell our souls from data bundles.
All for a popularity contest with a prize none of us know 
Like leading each other in the dark with blown out candles
Making each one bitter
Via these demons.
Instagram, Facebook, BBM, and twitter.

The Honest Truth

The honest truth
Sometimes I feel I ain't good enough for the type of man you are, 
My many flaws and imperfections are never ideal for the perfectionist you portray. 
I shy to show u my love cause of the feeling you're not here to stay, 
But only to pass by till you finds the one that’s perfect for u. 
I am a woman of word, 
Yet fertilising my roots is the lesson to submit to thy man 
Has he strength or weakness, 
For life or women. 
I look in your eyes and see no such love that my heart feels, 
No trust that my mind thinks, 
He says no words that my ears hear 
Nor hears the same words my mouth speaks. 
I love u, my heart seeks.  

The honest truth
I see no man beyond him, 
No past behind him, no better in front. 
He makes me happy with no actions, presence fulfils, 
Smell and touch, senses made 
Or sense is made with every feeling in my body. 
He helps me forget all the pain, 
He’s compassion reigns in his own kingdom his Highness, 
Egotistical and rough, 
Blunt words and sharp tongue, 
Lose me in all of it and find the one that makes u feel the way u desire
Cause the honest truth
We could be fighting the same battle but I'm too weak win the war.

Dead Love

I tried
The same reason I cried, I died inside.
Imagine the life I live without feeling, I feel the emptiness.
You filled me up, drew a smile in my heart though you never loved me, No we never loved each other, we just got complicated together.
The space between mind and soul u filled it up wrestling with the pain that was left by the same one I’m running back to.
He tore me left for you to mend it, you did it, I let you.
You did me, I loved it.
We did us, and lost it.
I’m here for you, she’s there too.
You made me happy, put me together, showed me the passion a woman could kill for.
I died for.
When I hear your name it warms me, your face blesses me.
The way you laugh, the gap between your teeth, the confidence in your step, 
The look in your eyes that strips me compliments and pleases me.
I see forever in your eyes, no secrets, no lies, unbreakable ties.
Forever together, without me.
I tried
The same reason I lied, I hide inside.
I am not enough to hold you down; the stray in you defeats my power.
A majestic aura of supremacy you bring with you as I let you take over my weaknesses I want to hold your hand, let go and hang onto your heart, slip and fall deep in your love, dive and drown into your soul...
How do I begin to imagine the loneliness of not having u with me? 
If I could call u my forever I would, but right now I can never but only ever wish.

Father's Leave Us

Why do fathers leave us?
Is it the same reason that lovers hurt us?
Lead us to believe that none are different.
No pain deeper than the thought of rejection, 
He turns his back with no goodbye to an expecting mother, 
No comfort like the promises he gave her to pull up her skirt only to let down her expectations.
Joy fulfilled, yet the heart of that beautiful woman, 
Lying vulnerable with promises from a man about to turn his back and place her in his past.

When fathers leave us is the pain equal to when lovers hurt us. 
Hurt us like we were never born of women and our hearts do not bleed blood red like they're own.  
Do they not see the desperation on our face when they walk out? 
Can they not feel our souls distancing with our bodies trying to hold on to what the naked eye fails to see, a future. 
If they didn't leave us would we know what pain is? 
Our self-thought superheroes built in our minds to protect and shield us Love and hold us 
Disappearing into the distant history leaving no story, but broken hearts, 
Flooding tears, 
Repeated questions. No answers.

Life Lost

Lost in agony of losing,
Ripped apart between life and living.
Deep breaths increasing inside me, growing, then going…… 
I lost it. 
I lost him, 
Her…. 
I lost life.
Emotional bruises physical, 
I feel the world staring at me with deep pity, why me?
Why not me?
I held your hand in my heart and wrapped my soul around you, 
Never thought you would be gone leaving no goodbye or promises to return.
I saw the lies in your evil eyes, these broken ties u leaving me with.
How do I explain to the world where my glow is gone when u took it with half of me? 
We lost the game I took the blame bleeding shame of misery.
What word do I use to paint my pain in pictures, confusing images in my vocabulary as I try to scream for comfort? 
I open my hand to nothing.
My treasure of life dusted off by winds of vulnerability

I Wonder If He Knows

I wonder if he knows I write poetry about him.
That he's my muse and I appreciate his vision and views.
I wonder if he knows his silence leaves bruises in my heart
bleeding deep inside causing uncontrollable damage in the depth of my soul.
That I can't take it when we don't talk
and when I look in his eyes I see my isle walk,
gliding down to him in crystal glowing shoes
made from the tears I cried to where we are.
I wonder if he knows how strong I've been.
And how long it's been.
Waiting for this how wrong it seems.
I wonder if he's ever heard me counting our children
naming each one
Heard me pray to God I some day give him a son,
cause I'm not just in it for  fun.
I wonder if he knows that I love him in a holy way that only I can speak to God about
that he is still my angel even when he makes me scream and shout.
I don't believe in soul mates but I can't wait till our souls mate
Write a beautiful love novel
How he's a spade and me a shovel and together we started trouble, different but the same.
Digging into each other's lives like tomorrow wouldn't reach us.
The things we lose only teach us
That some memories we create will leave us speechless.
Senseless. Fearless. Or even just less

Sinful Passion

To this point of no return I've come, 
I can't miss anyone anymore, 
I'm out missed, 
Maybe I've missed out the point cause of my misconceptions.
But my hearts ache is what it is, nothing less.  
I'm in love. 
With the idea of having u around, 
The endless smile u put on face with just a little stare. 
The gentleness when you touch me and my body sings songs with a magical melody. 
We get wrapped around each other and you enter into my world, never have I ever felt such. 
Ur body on mine holding onto each drop of sweat as I pant in rhythms of pleasure, my glory begging u silently to not stop, 
Deeper it screams quietly, 
Muted by the sins of passion we engage in!
My sin is falling for u.

Alone In Loneliness

The emptiness that fills up this empty space, 
Loneliness engraved on my face though my smile depicting a story of happiness so genuine, 
These teary eyes can never lie. 
My heart can only ever wonder and long for love, 
I am not alone yet the space I live in 
That I breathe in, 
Love in, 
Just me in these bare walls. 
I am existing in my own presence, 
my expectations of others to understand me, 
peaked at unreachable heights, alone for that very reason. 
Shadowed by my own silhouette, 
Leaving me to struggle in darkness as I walk alone in hope to fine the one true light to change my perceptions and ideas of what real is. 
Real is not the time spent in but the impact served. 
Not phased by betrayal, like a toddler attempting to take their 1st step, 
my heart has tripped and fallen and gotten up to try again, one day it shall walk straight up with only bruises and bumps to heal, 
that no one but I can feel no one but I can see. 
My eyes keep secrets 
my soul holds pain 
my very being is clings onto a story that my mind can only tell
Yes I am lonely.
