There is so little time,
this life running out
So many people to see,
no doubt
For life is leaving me
This new dimension
All to give
This new situation
Not long to live
This armour stripped day by day,
leaving the vulnerable you
You don't have time
and you know it too
The words you want to say
This anguish,
so little time,
every day,
an extra wish
This fragility,
like glass,
are shattered
Its finality,
only the love mattered
So little time to spare,
for the things to say
straight from the heart
For, you do care
You must say today
Furious anger
at your weakness
There is so little time,
you must say today
For there is no tomorrow
only sorrow
This thing eating you,
powerless to stop
Hurts too
The people left behind,
love is blind
This pain hard to take,
but you learn to fake
So little time
The things you want to say
This pain won't go away
Growing day by day
Agonising so
The pain you face
You feel so low
The pain you bear with grace
This hope has gone
The family weep
The big "c" has won
Inwards they turn
In too deep
This final goodbye
This release from pain,
the family sigh
This pain borne for so long
with strength and foritude
inpired us all
For you walk tall
You did no wrong
So little time to spare
So little time for words to say
but we knew you cared
Pain day by day
Your message sent
But I knew what you meant
When you went
Your message sent
I knew what you meant
Spirit to fly
The family cry
So little time
The family know
One day...........
we all say
Our lives ...so short
So small,
yet dying affects us all
but we are caught,
for our time is short
These battles fought
So little time to spare
Live for the day
So many words to say
This hour glass,
running out fast
So little time
So much love
So much to give
Not long to live,
before you are taken,
you are not forsaken
The gentle passing
you have been taken
your soul taken into god's care
you are not forsaken
no time to spare
but the loved ones left behind
do care
no words are spoken
your spirit awoken
your spirit to fly
no pain
we will see you again
the gentle passing
hourglass shattered
only love mattered
on this passing

You walk on to me you pair me with your eyes startled
Dilated spectrum rationalize beautiful window your pain
Eye gate windowsill is splintered crest
The message of the view I see everest
And I realize that the glass is smudge tears fall like rain
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
But it's clear to me now love
You need agape love
As you stand before me innocent blood
I want to embrace you in your millennial space
As I hold you there's this grace
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
Empathy titans spun in dirty lace
There's no lust found nor sour icing found on your cake
These the holdings that I bear of you
Until you is heavenly sound royalty blue
The beating of your hearts rings sad on rebound
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
And there's your light lit it's not in the dark
Don't want to let go of you because this not a lark
It would be a fleeting thought
If I could pray I would pray for blessedness
Completeness because you're worthy caress
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
Far more worthy than the hurt that you express be
Healings of the broken pottery that stands before me
Feelings of empathy of the wantings the need be peace
And the spectrum of the glass I see your reflection talking
It's so fragile yet strong as a diamond back sparkling
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
You're jewel you're the Father's daughter and above
Stand so tall Queen of Israel
In awe for all so tall you walk on void materials
As you walk tall straight your head above the waters passionate fruit
Glee you strive humanity you deny for your broken vessel earthen suit
UPRIGHT CASCADING BEAUTY BROKEN-HEARTED
You bruised vessel stands so glitters
As so those clothes you wear radiant heather
Having those you're worth more than rubies and gold
So I let go of my embrace, I look into your face so cold
And as you withdraw your body In cadence
So loved you turn around and walk away
And all I can see is the beauty surreal at bay
Assured of your essence your soul walks away
Leaving me in part pupils still dilated spark
You walk away with the swollen heart

A Walk in the Park
A walk in the park
I do every morn.
Tween six and seven -
time to feel reborn.
The squirrels run hither
the geese overhead.
Fresh running water -
a beautiful flower bed.
And then I see the fox,
but not before he sees me.
He's gone like the wind -
almost to fast to see.
The blackbirds are cawing -
the cardinals sing too.
And the red-tailed hawk
sits high against the blue.
I stride up on high
and view the lake just below.
A splash and a ripple
and a wave to and fro.
A fisherman or two
who came before me.
Just watching their bobs
hoping to catch two or three.
Then I walk 'neath the trees
both big and small.
Their leaves blowing in the wind -
so much fun to walk tall.
Down the path to the car -
my last chance for the day.
But I'll do it again on the morrow
in the quest to find my way.
So simple and pure
it gives so much pleasure.
Does a walk in the park -
one of life's true treasures.
Stop it! Quit being hypocritical about freedom
What type or what kind that you are talking about?
Be serious! Keep on talking about freedom
Until you drive me to boredom
Until I am strong enough to eat a live trout
Keep on yelling freedom, freedom
Until you lose your kingdom
In Galatians 5: 1,13-15: we found these words, not in error
"You shall love as yourself your neighbor"
"But through love become slaves to one another"
"If, however, you bite and devour one another,
Take care that you are not consumed by one another"
Go read the Bible yourselves, ‘because we are free'
We are brothers and sisters, we should love one another
Yes, Christ died for our freedom, for our liberty
We want freedom in America
We want freedom in Cuba
We want freedom in Columbia
We want freedom in Haiti
Which is poor because of exploitation
Corruption, violence, hatred, pollution
Lies, extortion, racism, theft, distortion
Misery, slavery, crimes and discrimination
Stop, stop being hypocritical about freedom
Let's finish elaborating and talking about freedom
Before alluding to or commenting on democracy
Which is more twisted, complex, convoluted or mazy
Big brother is supposed to protect the little one
In this world, we should fight for freedom for everyone
For the rich, the poor, the underprivileged and the elderly
The strong must protect the weak one. Oh! Miss Liberty
Stands for something noble and divine for all
"For freedom Christ has set us free", so we can walk tall
So we can think freely
So we can wink freely
So we can talk freely
So we can walk freely
So we can laugh freely
So we can clap freely
So we can write freely
So we can chat freely
While respecting each other
And protecting one another
Oh! Freedom, Freedom. Too many humans have senselessly
And falsely die in your name. Oh! Freedom. Oh! Liberty.

If you go for a walk at night
Be prepared to put up a fight
Be prepared to shoot at first sight
If you go for a walk at night
If you choose to walk in the dark
Might be best to avoid the park
Might be best if your shadow’s stark
If you choose to walk in the dark
If you walk along moonlit streets
Just avoid any midnight tweets
Just avoid any meet n greets
If you walk along moonlit streets
If at night you walk tall and proud
Just remember there's no ‘in’ crowd
Just remember to not be loud
If at night you walk tall and proud
If you walk for that other life
Seek your daughter, your son and wife
Seek them though they may bring you strife
If you walk for that other life
If you walk when you’re lamplight lit
Keep in mind that they’re likely bit
Keep your gun and rely on it
If you walk when you’re lamplight lit
But…
If you walk to avoid the sun
Walking only when day is done
Walking aimlessly with that gun
If you walk to avoid the sun
If you stumble and fall at night
Did you suffer a rabid bite
Did your muscles and skin grow tight
If you stumble and fall at night
If you walk at night, sufferin’
Might the sight of them make you grin
Might you find your gun neath your chin
If you walk at night, sufferin’
Normal people don’t walk at night
Only those who have felt the bite
Only those who now shun the light
Normal people don’t walk at night
*
That’s the reason I walk at night
Hiding works the best in plain sight
Hiding like I might share their plight
That’s the reason I walk at night
So I went for a walk at night
Looked for hidey holes, left and right
Looked and found them and they’re alright
Cos I went for a walk at night
But we need to walk home this night
Making plans to stay close and tight
Making plans to see new daylight
But we need to walk home this night…
Powerful words,
Truthful words,
Honest words,
Brave words;
This is exactly what the Doctor orders,
For a nation, who's trying to fight the horrors
Of blatant racism,
Unfairness, injustice,
Nepotism and sexism.
A man of Peace,
Without controversies,
Is not a genuine activist.
The truth is being tolled; there is no reason to apologize,
‘Cause you're exercising your God-given rights.
The sickness, the maladies,
Which America has been suffering
For over five centuries,
Need to be healed as you're reading
My honest feelings.
This is painful, this is long overdue.
My brave People are tired of fighting
The ills and the stigmas of our societies.
This is hurtful, this is way overdue.
The Truth hurts, thank God Almighty;
"Another One" is unafraid to tell the Truth,
"This One" is dissecting the false myth,
And the backward ideologies, thank God Almighty!
The prisons are populated by innumerable innocents,
The Police and their cronies randomly humiliate
Our parents, siblings and cousins.
We have every reason to be mad and irate.
A more just and fair system needs to be in place now.
The Brother is using strong medicine right now:
Powerful words,
Truthful words,
Honest words,
Brave words,
To save America,
The beautiful diva,
Who stands for: "Justice, Freedom,
Liberty and Happiness for All."
We should denounce Uncle Tom
And his monkeys. Brothers, who walk tall
Like you and our President,
Are rare and almost nonexistent.
The Truth will always set free:
The men of Justice, the men of integrity,
The men of Peace, the men of honesty;
The Brothers and Sisters who will tirelessly
Fight racism, the twin-brother of slavery.
P.S. This poem is dedicated to all my brothers and sisters.

I still remember that day
when mom told me with her softy voice
you should never show your weakness I need you to be strong over the rocks
I was only ten years old
I didn’t really understand the meaning of these words
but it affected me deeply
and I have learned throughout my thorny path to walk tall
she told me that I should never cry for a man
I should never think of marriage before drawing my way
and if I miss the train of love it’s alright
’cause men look for a slave and they fear the queens
so I worked hard to achieve my dream
I fought to have a solid place in this society
and I tortured my soul to have an unbreakable personality
I’m the woman who is afraid of nothing
the woman who’s walking 280km/hour without thinking about the
walls that she can cross while running
the strong woman who changes the world by a single glance
the one that sadness doesn’t dare to visit her life
and tears are afraid to face her eyes
I’m the example of the resistant woman but they never know that I’m
the battered woman
After so many years I finally admitted what I had always ignored
Brave Woman Is Weak In Love
I thought no man could underestimate me in my warrior life
but only one ripped my mask
he so easily broke my ego
without asking my permission he guides me and I follow
unintentionally I became dependent on an unknown human
when I had to be independent…
with one word I’m guided
when I had to be the one to order
suddenly I lost the remote control of my life
and I’m unable to stop the events that scroll in front of my eyes
it’s so fast and it makes me dizzy
I had lived without any worry
Now I live in fear of losing what was never for me
I who always used to choose between take or leave
I live where I have to choose between leave or leave
I who was always the winner
I got the award of the biggest loser…
Hatred walking tall in the streets
of the hearts of our
GENERATIONS
Blood spilled painting the
ground red
Making the evil not to feel bad
but as VIPs Phela they now are
walking on the red carpet
The cries shed turning into
the welcoming melody as
they enter the gates of hell
Drowning the happiness of this
world into a very deep well
The money gave birth to
uMUVHANGO
That constructed hell on earth
The burning flames of
greediness
burnt families down to ashes
when death knocks at your door
it breaks down all the latches
It doesn't matter which rout it
took
it can come via your relatives
your blood can one day be a
catalyst
to speed up the witchcraft
reaction
as to give birth to wealthiness
I feel THE NEED to set free my
fears
and let them walk tall in the
streets
of your minds with flyers
proposing unity
Let's all stand up in search of
dignity
How I long to live life vividly
In your heart as hatred intrude
on your knees fall like you just
had a heart attack but in your
prayers
Include also the victims in his
list
The soil swallowed the souls
of THE YOUNG AND THE
RESTLESS
The brave ones that stood up,
ducked and sucked bullets
Into their bodies for our
freedom
with nothing but stones in their
hands
The freedom implanted laziness
and greediness in today's youth
we are not xerophytes,
we can't survive in this dry land
we need to fight
your journey has brought you
into
this very dark life you are in
Wake up your mind, open up
your eyes
there is hell and there is heaven
you are at the junction, make
yur choice
The right choice will give you
honor
But the wrong turn leads you to
horror
The universe should be a platform for justice
Try not to fight just for little differences
For the world to stand, there must be balance
Though against good, forces of evil have no chance
For the north to exist, there must be south
For silence to exist, there must be shout
For the east to exist, there must be west
For the truth to exist, there must be jest
In contrast, if there is right, there is wrong
There is bad as well as a beautiful song
For procreation, if there's a male, there's a female
And the handsome and gorgeous make a great tale
For sure, if there's a brave, there is coward
Who hides in fear and refuses to come forward
Be brave enough to contend against the dark
Tame the darkness with the light of your spark
Fill the world with the wonders of giving
We'll be doomed if all we do is grabbing
For the world is bound to thrive by mutualism
And in contrast, it will die by parasitism
We are bound to be strong by unionism
On one side, we are weakened by factionalism
Against cold, we could survive by warm embrace
Where conflicts may all lead to disgrace
Do not succumb to those who say that you're small
Wear your pride like your shoes and walk tall
For those who jabber behind your back are not big
Their wisdom is as tiny as a budding twig
Don't fall for someone for no reason but love
For love can conquer even the stars above
For in lust, without love, even the mightiest can fall
But in love, even the weak can flourish above all
