Cape Flats - 1
So, maybe you can tell Heaven from hell, blue skies from rain, a day full of pain. Can you trade a walk in the park for a glimpse of the dark? We are the captured souls, like fish in bowls. Do you want to exchange, from living in chains? Beating around the bush is not of any use, in the blink of an...

Cape Flats - 2
Murder and mayhem on the Cape Flats. This is life and that is that. From the youngest to the oldest, the murderers are bold. Murderers kill at random. On their heads should be a ransom. Every day is a killing season, killing for no reason. Children cry and mothers die, living by the sword. The murderers must be caught. Gangs for whom killing is a must, mothers...

Cape Flats - 3
Thirty-four people killed in a week. The Cape Flats gangs are not weak. They shoot to kill and maim, to them, it’s all the same. Let’s be real, the gangs are a bad deal. In them, there is no good. To them, death is like food. You must fight to live, every day. Being bad is the only way. They rule the street and the...

Cape Flats gangs fighting
In the Cape flats the bullets are flying Today people are dying The gangs are killing To them it is fulfilling It is a deed so sad It can only be done by the bad The gangs don’t feel a thing They love the sting. The gangs are like wild animals Like real damn cannibals Running in the street Wanting...

Quote:"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin". Mother Teresa Long awaited birtday arrives, Best wishes, cakes and flowers from social media thrives, I feel haapy, did not know I had so many friends, Wish I could smell the flowers and taste a piece from the cakes.

FEAR NOT TO VISION
FEAR NOT TO VISION Fear not to vision Trust to catch stardust from Whence we came Create a new World, woven With Peace and Patience Fear not the glaring blaze of Light It dazzles us with lucid eyes To clarify the vision Brighter than newborn blood Tastier than marula fruit Smelling of cinnamon and rubies A father sails the seven seas Luminous guides smile In...

Soul Birth: 71 Horstley Street, District Six
SOUL BIRTH : 71 HORSTLEY STREET, DISTRICT SIX Swathed in golden fleece White light dancing Cigarette smoke twirls Waters break and gush Bright as the nearby ocean To say hello to the midwife Preparing the birthing table A violet spirit comes A birthing through channels and layers The room becomes vast Souls linger about Radiant and receiving Onto the Earth Dimension Task complete Melancholy...

Cape Mendocino
Cape Mendocino The westernmost tip of California hard to reach except by Google earth the usual method of exploration these days. The Point Arena Library where I hung my words upon the Poet Tree growing in the entrance hardly noticed. A fellow down on his luck the beloved companion of a wire haired dog with bad breath and crooked teeth Both sitting beneath a leaf of William Carlos Williams. So much depends upon this...

Pre - Valentine's Sky
I Delicious evening Furtive moon, modest stars 2023 but ancient Sky II Cooler, Eastern Cape evenings - delicious Blazing hot days, 40 degrees Celsius Give way to ancient ways, in the stars Only a few tonight (why?) And Venus perhaps? Two of the four stars in a box, outshone the rest - when Moon escaped the cloudy hedge A few belts with triune stars consoled...

Premium Member The Cape
The Cape Superheroes, moms, dads, and those that we love, and we can not see... are flawed. They try hard to hide, their inequities... in order to give us the illusion of safety, and security, in a world that is unsafe, and very insecure. Red capes like the movies, blue capes like the marines, the color...
