our impenetrable marriages
we both in honesty, blatant
honesty even in the
darkest of confession
It's a trust based on a premise
of us being together
removing our selfs from
the responsibility of
others
to unwind and relax
at least 20 minutes a day
a date every two weeks
a vacation every two years
that's fresh
thats keen
that's cool!
Thanks,
Duno Cecilio

One's perspective
might be the precursor to his down fall
when it's all or nothing
he might end up
with know one at all
betrayal of ah lover
has real consequenses
a fool only loves someone
that he only misses
a celebration doesn't make you
a celebrity
I've found someone else
we're alone when it's just you and me
can't do that round here
everyone know's were married
they push us around snear
it's, get and gone; Ya'll hurry, hurry!
we sneak away to find romance
in romantic places
see people we know
we hide our selfs
or turn our faces
Divoice my wife
you divoice your husband
then we can be together
we been saying this
seems like forever
People tell us
they don't want us around
call us stupid said I was a clown
dark skies when they
come your way
find shelter
that's what people say
a combination of
activities and obligations
divided time and loyalties
stressed out don't wanna
make decisions
perching around like
a pigeon
lose my tread of thought
can't pay attention
you my wife
you my lover

In the photographs,
times are submitted
by the cameras and their
phlegmatic blasé flashes ...
They do not care
with us...
Wedding,
graduations,
picnics or portraits...
impressions
taken to contradict
appearances ...
Flashes, selfs, intend
capture moments ... but
everybody lies...
True mornings,
sad afternoons ... but yes
people laughing at the truth,
or crying lies ...
Mocking smiles appear,
smiling faces, quibble ....
Even the cheerful costumes,
the fun colors only compose
a buffoon theater ... when
it should be Greek tragedy ...
And life, so we wish to
believe follows free ...
But even children,
that we desire to believe, are not
authentic in the photographs ...
And we travel on our
own lives with light
of our illusions, our
visions not always so
criticism ...
And we always believe
in realities that don't exist,
no longer exist ... they are only
ancient photographs taken
in atmospheres that today
we are told: we are the fake
of our current days ...!

Ek wil nie meer kyk
of myself vergryp
aan die dinge van die vlees
wat my wil oorheers.
Ek roep na die Vader
Hy trek my nader.
Selfs in die donker
is Hy my genadig.

penchants for doing things the right way
unhinge the knighted sky shot full with holes
twinkle twinkle little star, you burn so very
bright, where have you all gone? home you say,
dancing the edges of madness’ thin veils
containment slotted through the IS’s of
consecutive sequenced selfs, unawakened
self-righteous indignation, plagiarize the
potential for adulterated emotions
conspicuous lapse of good judgment
right the scales of too much this or that,
the arms of balance form both positive
and always behind the seen, negative imagery
this land whirls the positive insisting it’s
our only reality of expression, negative quivers
with pretence experienced as a landscape
of oblivion ensued from forgetfulness...always is
a this and a that, a hat and a cat, a louse and a mouse.
Always is...

Butterflies don't peak to soon
They are cuddled in cocoons
Warm and safe as they grow
Into the beauty they will show
To the world when they are free
They are just like you and me
Slowly growing every day
More and more we make our way
Into the world to show how we
Share with others our beauty
That comes from our inner selfs
Not the beauty on store shelves
That gives us a different look
Everybody take a look
At whats on our soul and hearts
There's no better place to start
Learning who others can be
If we see them differently
Than what is on the outside
Hiding their beauty inside

They listened
They listened to you cry
They listened to you scream
Fists bloodied from beating walls
Scars forming in your dreams
They never loved your heart
They never loved your being
Their tortured, corrupted souls
Offsetting what they’ve been
All of their hate
The memories of their screams
They never let it go
Until they could unseen
Your life is their excuse
For something to hurt
Exorcise their suppressed selfs
Your minds a toy to pervert
They listened to you cry
Never asked why so much hurt
They listened to you scream
Never realised what they’d been
Goodbye people of this blood
Goodbye now you can’t steer
The path open to me
Will never come back here

sometimes we act like we
gotta ask for nothing
our way of trying to get something
beg a little to get what we got
and act satisfied cause it aint a lot
unmind one to do what we need
that save a few to make our selfs believe
likened to tryna be loved
what the hell are we thinking of
save half, bargin and deal
or marry up ya'll know the deal
getting it in
and taking it out
all is spent
you know what that's about
Right on brother
(the things you say)
right on sister
(yes will have me say)
right on brother(tell em)
right on sister!
She didn't want to ask her husband
to grab some grub
what the hell is she thinking of
gallon of milk cost half of that
2 for 2 that's where it's at
scramble to find a betta deal
guess you know that's for real
we need a way to be forreal
tell the world how we feel
calm the real to be right
start up trouble
to cause a fight
than a voice told me
better not
look at him and what he's got
get it right
calm my nerves and contain myself
put the can o squash back on the shelf
Right on Bruhda, right on sista!
asked her lover to borrow twent dollas
he started wanting love

Net soos Noag, David & Abraham
word dissiepels van die ware lam.
Net soos Johannes, Lukas of Filamon
leer die word en vertrou net op Hom.
Leef soos Titus, Markus & Daniël
wys vir almal dat God maak ‘n verskil,
of
wees dan net soos getroue Job,
die beste dienaar van onse God.
As jy is soos die kind van God,
dan hoop ek jy besef –
jy’t ‘n baie groot job
Vertel die mense van onse
PA.
Wees ‘n voorbeeld en hou op
om te kla.
Sing ‘n lied van Salemo
en help die volk om dan te glo.
Vertel hulle almal van Matteus
En openbaar aan hulle God se heilige gees.
Jy weet Paulus het vir God om die aarde geloop, sonder ‘n staf of selfs ‘n stukkie brood.
Só moenie nou word soos die Romeine,
want jy berhoort aan God – Ja jy is syne.
Kry die doop & breek die brood,
bly in Hom & vrees nooit die dood.
Die koningkryk van die Hemel het gekom,
so maak seker dat als wat jy doen is net vir Hom.
Wees opreg soos ‘n duif,
Dan sal jy vir ewig bly in ons Vader se huis.

Since when do you have a say over everything... Ain't your momma teachin you nothing kid ?
Here we don't criticize other's opinions.
Here we don't over think our selfs as human being.
Here we don't let go of our strength and seek for hope later.
And you definitely know how to follow the rules !
Our mission needs to be accomplished , cause out there we face the world differently. You don't wanna get caught up in your own skin. Otherwise consequences will be faced.
" YOU'RE A SOLDIER ! "
We salute those , who has already gone before us , and we thank them for their services and graces neutrality. For God be with us as we continue this journey. For our mission has only now begin. Our pathway may be taught , but we will stick together until the very end.
I trust that you'll all in good hands.

By ‘bro. zayid’
Put a lock n chain
on yr dreams ygfolk
‘cause they will sure try to take it
Put a lock n chain
on yr dreams
‘cause they will sure try to take it
make it so big n thick
can’t nobody break it…
Play bluenotes so sharp
it’ll stab the air they’ breathe
I say, play bluenotes so sharp
it’ll stab the air they’ breathe
Hit’em dead in the head
with they’ mean selfs
Make all they’ wrongdoin’ bleed…
Use excellence as an attack
make they’ obstacles disappear
Use excellence as an attack
make they’ obstacles disappear
Attack so hard
fill they’ bowels up with fear…
Purple lips dream are precious too, baby
Don’t let’m tell u no lie
Say, purple lip dreams are precious too, baby
Don’t let’m tell u no lie
Chase’m down like they’ stole from yr mama
Chase’m down till u die…
So get yr chops up
Get yr chops up
Get ready to blow’m away
Get yr chops up
Get yr chops
Get ready to blow’m away
‘cause when they come for u and yr dreams
they’ aint comin to play…

Bugs, spiders and an insect-free world,
Dangerous animals were gone,
Snakes disappeared,
Crocodiles, alligators, and sharks,
No longer exist,
Children could swim happy and free,
Nothing was alive that could hurt people,
Viruses colds and flu evaporated,
Sickness illness departed,
People never got the taste for animals,
Vegetables filled the earth,
Growing without planting,
Reseed like grass,
Nuts and berries ever abundant,
Pollination just happened,
A generous rich evergreen coverage,
Ready ripe succulently beautiful,
Juicy fruits sprouting everywhere,
Hanging from our houses, walls and gates,
The earth would germinate and shoot buds,
Without any help from humans,
Life would be so easy,
Even children could feed them selfs,
People would be slim and healthy,
The waters pure for drinking,
No additives or preservatives,
Or factory produced foods,
No evil could exist in people,
Our brains could only feel love.
If only I could change the world.

In this world
Only one thing we do
We cross each other out
In this world
Every person
Stood up for
Themselves only
In this world
What will happen
If we stood up for
Each other
In this world
Only one things
Matters to people
Them themselves
Every one should
Stand up for
Themselves and
Also for people
This is as far as it goes
Standing up for them selfs
