Speaking In Tongues
Life shouldn’t be a punishment for living
We can’t be regulated by machines
Accustomed to the stupid self-deceiving
Our freedom is a bird of slavish dreams
Where to it flies, avoiding troubles on its way
We never wonder, giving it the flight control
But freedom seeks its master everyday
And always finds the one to rule our soul
Born to believe,

The challenge of modern man is to reconcile the antithetical aspects of his personality
The challenge of modern man is to reconcile the antithetical aspects of his personality,
On the level of the body, he is an animal; on the level of the ego, an aspiring god.
The fate of the animal is death, which the ego with its divine aspirations tries to avoid,
But in attempting to flee this fate, man

My Friend
My Friend.
I dreamt I saw you
Ignored you at first
Then I hugged you
My old friend
I wouldn’t let you go
As in real life I did
I want to reconcile
Take back the words
But what difference would it make?
None so I’ve heard
You were here
Plain as day
Your old self
I wish only good for you
I hope you know
I wish you luck
And

Friends
Nights come, nights go
Days come, days go
But friendship is one thing
that lasts forever
Friends argue, friends fight
Friends cry, friends laugh
But the best thing that's to reconcile
in order to keep our friendships
"A friend is easier lost than found"

Sand Through the Hourglass
if only we still had
all the time in the world
and our youth to squander
all the paths to explore
and wander at our leisure
the echo amplified
do you not hear the clamor
as each grain of sand
through the hourglass
counts down each hour
to me it's as loud as thunder
a warning for us to make amends
and reconcile the time we've left
though

Mucked Up Moon
Erroneous mirror scatters his face
Mills his skin into thin porous powder
Muck which gets stuck under tongue in a paste
Mouth stuffed with rubble cement rancid sour

A Smile
It maybe just one word to hear
But so effective like a medicine
Imagine if a person is sad, a smile
could turn his whole day around
and make him happy from being mad.
If someone has nothing to give
To such needy fella who is in need
In need of comfort from his grief
A smile can also be a big help
As

I Reconcile
I don't complain as I tell this tale,
for he who complains doubts life,
and I am a firm believer of life.
I believe in the worth of its bitterness,
mingled in each portion that I drink,
from the cup of life.
I believe in the ultimate mercy of these steel fingers that crush my soul!

Hallo, 'Ello Mate, Hi and Howzit
GREETINGS ALL!
Greeting people on the street
Reason cannot assess how
Even a quick American "hi" in retreat
Elevates someone's mood, and the State's
Truth be told, can't say how Americans started
Ice-breaking among strangers on the street
Now, in England, silence (on tubes) is not rude
Given past racism in South Africa, we ought to use HOWZIT
Short for "How is It?" but

Reconcile
I wish I could move on
Reconcile my life
And find a way
To make this work
And make it pay
I don’t know how much longer I can go on
With any of this maybe I should sing a song
Maybe that will make me feel a little better
Maybe that will help
I need a change
In a big way
I need to

Two Days To Reconcile
Two windows of reflections, two souls from long ago
past times collecting memories of the realities
beauty glowing in the shades of two eyes
simulations of young love unsettled still muffles
unspoken those words that sparked the journey
many tears before
yet the shadows of the past still resides
pieces of the mirror that damaged the heart
will in two days reconcile the

How Do We Reconcile
How do we reconcile? (From my pen -27/06/2013)
White was the color to declare the peace
Supposed to leave us with life without crease
It's no longer fashionable, and pure
We depend on black to bring the cure
Whatever the right medicine
It offers no cure for this discipline ,
Now there is a new fashion and road
We now

Letter of Reminiscence
We started out together, dear Friend
Hours on wearied knees we’d spend
‘til from hour glass more time we’d lend
But now I wander, what might have happened?
According to you, it seems late for your soul to mend
For your heart once golden has hardened
Ice cold and immeasurably distant
No trace of the longing cry once penitent
Tears of compassion in

Ways To Reconcile All
HE LAYS WAYS

HOW DARE YOU FLAYS

ALL KEPT IN MALL
