Letter To My Unborn Child

Empathy is the first foundation of love
If you need to be loved then why others shouldn't be
If you need to be cared for then why others shouldn't be
Let only one thing stop you from loving and let it be death
Let it be when your heart no longer feel pain 
Let it be when your hands are too cold to feel the heat

I might not be there to teach you how but let your heart lead the way 
Don't love because of the ones colour , education, beauty, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, disability but because everyone deserves to be
With all the forces from the four corners of the earth 
Let non stop your heart from loving
Not even me should 

Make not my mistake nor that of your mother
The are more mirrors then you can count 
They are in everyone that walk pass you
Don't pay hate for hate, jealousy for jealousy
Love mama nature and give her all the care 
Let this be told to your unborn generation 
That love is the only answer

The Worldwide Cry

The worldwide cry.
From the four corners of the earth,
In the crowded street and lonely path,
One cry is heard,
A cry so sad

The cry of sons and mothers,
The cry of daughters and fathers,
Is that the monster within,
May not in us be seen

We cry for children in their childhood,
To keep their mortal fields so green,
We cry for adults in their adulthood,
To keep their bright linen clean

We cry for abstinence before marriage,
And faithfulness in marriage,
We cry for protection of life,
Before we all end in strife

Though our hearts bleed with sorrow,
Yes! we can hope for tomorrow,
For a new dawn has unfolded,
And the past hast been folded

Antiretrovirals is our new song,
What we had waited for so long,
Compliance is the key,
For the long life we hope to see

Better nutrition is the word in our lips,
Lest we all slumber and slip,
To infections ,
Worse than injections

We also cry to the one above,
The one we truly love,
For He wilt wipe our tears away,
So that long we wilt stay

Who wilt the ribbon mend,
And so our lives defend?

Who so brave can we send
To fight this monster to the end?

'Tis us all the affected,
As hands we join with the infected

Summer

Summer is like a street party that never ends
It's the time of year
That everyone wears a smile.

It's full of dancing
Laughter,cheer and fun
When colors unite.

When children voices are heard
From the four corners of the earth
Like busy bumble bee at a honey comb conference.

When the earth is at it's calmest
And people find sincerity and peace
It's the time of the year
When all your worries and fears 
Just seem to disappear.
