Shackles of the Earth

I am in shackles, i am in pains
I am in dis array, i am confused
I am starved, i am hungry
I am sad even when i look happy
I am beautiful, ugly is the situation
I am age less but age is running out inside me
I need to be calm, hard ways are gone....
But guess , Even in my dismay i have realized that the race is not to the swift nor the battle for the strong, nor riches for the wise neither is knowledge for the men of understanding....
Yet! it is time and chance that happens to them all
 So here i am it is my time do not stop me because now is my chance 
Be alert! Be wise

L, O, V, E,

Do you remember this?

Perfect of all imperfections

Clueless of all clues 

Ideas of all all ideologies

Even, depth of all depths

Just thinking...what more can be said

If you are not a partaker of the feelings

Alright! Hold it right there it says...

Did you forget to say this?

Its the thoughts of all thinkers

The warmth of a real heart and

The story behind  all imaginations 

Better still,the heart that speaks solemn

The very night of every night 

The memorable ones i must say...

Its tenderness so soft, so mild it is

Expressions are real you can not fake it

I remember now dave

So time less,it has no boundaries

Un ending its nature has become

I seem to have found the right word 

Could it be called love? Gentle in its kindness 

Yes! yes! yes!!! It sounds like it 

love of varsal entorganism

L.O.V E.

Opportunity

Anytime it comes by
Be there to acknowledge it
Can become discouraging
Do not let it go easy
Excellent result is expected
Fight the challenges that comes with it
Give it your best and sincerity
Hire more hands if need be
Innovation is the right word to any
Jobs that eventually emerges a success
Knowing you made an impact towards
Leading people to their promise land and 
Making them see a reason to do same
Never forcing them to do wrong
Or better still,do not lure them to fail
pursue the fact that you should practice what you preach
Que in line,u cant afford to jump just So that comments can be 
Reserved for reference purposes
Situations may arise and then you will stand corrected
Tarry and strive because you will be an hero
Until lifetime we will all remember your legacy
Loving and caring you are as we sing your song 
Visiting each day by day makes us 
Worthy of your presence in our midst and not like 
Xenophobia in our memories but as in our thoughts 
Yore you came in the picture and brought life opportunities we were 
Zealous and ready to conquer once and for all

Twin Blood

How can i Rest!!!
How could you take a girl child from me
How could you forcefully take her
Shes only 6 years of age 
All she needs is a motherly care
Do not do this to her and her sister
Because they will never forgive you
Why keep them apart
Is it that you want me bordered
Well you can please yourself 
But justice comes soonest
There after you have lost it all
How can i rest without uniting the innocence
I will fight to the last blood in my vein
As i will never give up on them
Finally!i see you loosing them forever
The clock of  their freedom is ticking 
Silence! I can hear the voice calling....

Distance

Oh mine! Oh mine!
As the crust of the earth
The wind blows north south
Waiting for that day when it brings you west
Imaginations are filled
Thoughts overflows the heart
Mine o mine far away you seem
Echoes coming from an angle 
Even as it fades away
Wishes are selfish as its all that matters 
Hope will find you before i pass
Fate will bring you even after death
the battle field is a field of love 
My hearth throb will be here
Longing for a touch....
This side or the other.

12,12

Doors clamping as i could not find sleep

Dogs barking and trembling in the neighborhood

Lying in my bed,eyes wide open,cold feet

Like horror foot prints flashed on my walls

Frightened and terrified,could not imagine it was real 

Strange hands that reached for my thighs 

Fingers hurting deeply as it penetrates

So scruffy i had screamed my name 

Like a rose just got dried

Freezing and loud the wind blows 

My sheet squeezed l was choking 

Somebody help me, i lost my voice

Could i be dreaming i asked in silence

Imaginations gone bad , thoughts were awful

felt a grasp of my neck and my eyes were red

The night was too long i could not pretend

I suddenly reached for an object to strike 

Amazing, what It had become 

A rod i do not want to let go 

In a trance i had seen the mask

On the wrist, it was twelve past twelve

That time of that day,we met!

Not Dying

Round  and round the clock
Seconds,minutes,hours,days,weeks,months
Years,decades,centuries,name it!
Breaths are countless, thoughts are hopeless
Seekers are all over
Finders are found
Discoveries are discovered
Un born babies  are born
Responsibilities are made
There after the changes are made
As time can be spent so is time erased
The invisible is never visible
For the immortals are endless
Same as my work
Same as love
Same as the most high

Success Parables

The goods thing about “hardship” is the thirst for “Success”

Success is an unending process it begins even at the peak of another persons success

Be like the blue sky: where greatness and Success has no limit.

The things you say about the success of others is the judgment you get from others or what you perceive as success

Life and hope are corresponding Issues to the nature of success

Wisdom is maturity  and maturity makes the mind, be wise to become successful

Hardship in life, is the Beginning of a Successful Journey in History

You Succeed when you have acquired,  and you have acquired when you have succeeded.

Do not subterfuge to succeed but be submissive to succeed.

Mystery

Mystery!!!
 I have been dreaming all my life 
Within a flash, i am awake 
As it all becomes reality
I have to speak
I have to be heard
Am tired of being voiceless 
As i can hear it whispering,its my time 
The chance to make an impact 
And tell the story as horrible as it seems
I guess it mite not be a history
But may become faith,hope and justice for others
I have been beaten a thousand times
I have been hurt a million times,
I have been cheated and condemned by many due to my negligence
And now i want to be free from all shackles,from all chains
From all boundaries ,from all deceits
Hear my cry out loud because am screaming from within
I have become a mad woman even as composed as i seem
The journey so far has been all about pain and agony of a mother
An innocence of brutality and revenge is my take
because bitterness is all inside
Stop strangling me,stop humiliating me 
like the diary of a mad black woman 
I know my worth even when i lost it again and again
Respect is all i crave for from this day 
And justice is what i deserve and pray at the moment
Mystery indeed ,you lost me forever!!!

Great Karroo

O ye people of no faith
Why not fight for human right
A right of freedom and tranquility
The states of our minds are far off
Think within the box and take away 
vengeance From our lands
Otherwise there will be no place to live
So therefore let us not forget the tribes 
The cultures and beliefs of our origin
With one voice all hopes are met
With knowledge protocols are observed
I will suggest we forget the past
Move on and protest now that we are aware
Our rights to life,to justice ,to freedom
Be giving back to us one after the other
As we match our way into the troubled kingdom
We shall not be shaken by any obstacles
We shall not die but live even if we are starved
Warriors, leaders,followers lets push 
To pull the wall of Jericho as it falls down
Rejoice o ye people of strength 
We have entered into our place of truth
Dominate and conquer like the great karreo
Peace is all we need
