Fate yells “Whatever will be… will be…”
Asserting good luck's asset with destiny’s end upheld.
Impossibilities’ inevitability invites no challenge; just going with the flow
Totally yielding to wherever the stars direct; never daring…
However, faith* in the Almighty hearkens to heavenly hope’s assurance
Led with perseverance for utmost performance-progress
Endeavoring despite rigors to prevail over misfortune-tellers’ sentence
Determined to triumph against horoscope’s curse!
*Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
My heart hearkens to with willingness’ glow
Being my privilege, divinely grand
As God’s dear child enjoying blessings’ flow.
Called to serve Christ by faith with willing mind
“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
I yield to since it’s sublimely designed
Marked by supreme compassionate demand.
Despite tests challenging tenacious stand
Faith clings to the Saviour Who props by His grace
“Follow me” is the Lord’s wondrous command
Gripping my soul around His sweet embrace.
Toward praise-filled triumphant reaching-out
My spirit is led toward promised land
While this truth I believe, devoid of doubt
“Follow me”* is the Lord’s wondrous command.
*Matthew 8:22 ... Jesus said unto him, Follow me...

It is funny!
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty;
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…
We stare with grim satisfaction
Because the black winged Angel
Ridding a flaming chariot tells a tale;
And proclaims that God is love,
Yet he, himself is an Angel of death.
Day after wretched day Humanity walks!
He walks down the dark alley of freedom;
Freedom which shouts fairness;
Fairness that begets confusion—
And he tries to bottle the spittle of birds…
Every night he lies in bed and tries to hear
The voice of fishes shouting gender and Sexualty in a world where the scale of
Equality is unevenly proportional and
Equal rights mean the oppression of men.
Apartheid, the history of Mzanzi is
The present for the African world and
That has caused his inferiority complexes
To suffice and personalize racism and
One after another, generations play along.
Lest we forget,
The victims are just as guilty
As the perpetrators but at some point.
Humanity weeps as he inspects
His isle of hopelessness!
But just like the majority, men;
They cry in hiding.
Where no-one sees,
No-one hears and
No-one dares speak for the black sheep!
Deep down this egocentric radicalism,
He orders rotten eggs to make an omelette
With which he feeds pirate justice,
And he goes all year long
On a running stomach.
Although the words never sink,
Humanity hearkens to
The rumbling stomach of justice but
When the rainbow of life turns
Grey!
Humanity's children cry day and night
While the Angel of death entrusted
Their protection feasts on their tears
And dances to the beautiful sound
Of their troubled voices.
And when the wolf comes for their
Brazen souls we hail at the smiling lady
Who says 'I am virgin Mary'
With fangs behind her white vail
And poison under her tongue—death!
The rich are poor but morally,
Yet no-one sees
And no-one cares;
They say 'each one for himself'
Come shall the final hour do.
It is funny!
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty;
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…
Humanity looks on
And passes his judgement.
The masked preacher scoffs:
“No-one is perfect.
No, not one!”
As long as I can remember
came Christmas cards in December -
my aunts back home to thank.
With best wishes at yuletide
and always tucked away inside
a cheque from Barclays Bank.
Looking back as I live and muse
on Boxing Day I’d gamble and lose
on some pony my bet to lay.
In the birdcage or at the tote
my losing ticket stubs in my coat
but I’d be back on Cup Day.
Playing poker and alley pool
on our summer break before school
cos that’s what gamblers do.
Or with my aunt cash on my way
for a brand shiny new LP to play
off I’d go to Record Rendezvous.
And from the Sweet Briar fairy
came a birthday card in late January
just a few short weeks hence.
Which was a master stroke
for by then I was always broke
and it made all the difference.
As long as this heart of mine
hearkens a carol at Christmas time
or money to pay what I owed…
I’ll remember a season’s joy
and all the many cards as a boy
I got from Sweet Briar Road.

As You awaken my commitment from complaints’ grumble.
