Raymond Letsitsa Poet Lyric

My Soul

My Sou
Console me
Teach me the secret to happiness
In the midst of all this gloom
And if my light quickly flickers out and dies
Having no more the spark of joyful youth and peace
Teach me how to laugh
At the mystery of being human
In this world of gnashing teeth and shattered dreams

My conscience 
Please guide me
Let me know when to react with pain
To these bruises that are inflicted unto my soul
Let me know the times of harvest
And those sure times of hunger
Let me know the difference between friend and foe
Let my discernment draw intelligently from
The many fountains of life.

My spirit
Lead me to glory,
Through these walls of prejudice
Easily pass me like a high grade blunt
Write your testament inside my palms
So that when I lift my arms
Your light could shine brighter 
And my witness could embrace the heavens
In splendid grace and sweet melancholy 
Found in melody so eternal 
It lives through poetry
Until the ends of time.
