My Time Is Now
The starry night,
Put me on a Trailblazer,
Walking through a crowd,
Without making a scene,
Of all the people I have seen,
Is there a place where I have been,
To a corridor where I have been there since,
I give myself a triumphant glimpse,
Until the eclipse,
Overshadowed by the blink,
It is not what it seems,
I did not play a game,
For bringing

RAISE YOUR KIDS WITH LOVE
Raise your kids with love ?? and affection
Travel with them and share with them beautiful stories of people.

Save the society from terrible disaster.

Severed Latency
I am not hardened by your strong sense of will
And i am not weakened by any fragility of spirit
I am not stood still, awaiting my becoming – i am flowing
And no longer do i fear the ingrained teachings of which you still hold dear
I have retreated and enveloped in shadow — far too long
Once entangled

Solitary Upbringing
At the cost of my very own happiness
I was kept safe from the darkness.
But the way I was solitarily raised
Only deepened how I felt grazed.

Mother
In her womb, I laid
grew my hands, legs…
till I was fully formed.
Got out after nine months,
laid on her back,
In her arms,
On her laps…
She would snuggle me in her arms
and assure me of how much she loved me.
I will cry so hard,
sometimes she won't know why,
but to ease whatever pain she felt I

Whatsapp Christianity Made In China
I
Capitalists sell prayers and hope
From China, PRC, to you and me
In images and words: forward these
To all your contacts - such positivity
Yet we hear, embedded spyware
Comes with readymade China prayer
To Jesus or more often, "the Universe"
II
LORD, I owe my all to thee
My two children from a first marriage
And my current, S. African family
Blended families

Love Unspoken
"I love you" was withheld
for lies weren't to be told.
To make this statement bold,
(too hastily expelled)
sin nature must be quelled.
Who can this task uphold?
Cautious with statements vain,
(no room left for error
as love's image bearer)
we claim not to attain
such love for truth of stain.
(Threat of the ensnarer.)
Yet we pray to show love
so that we may know

Bad Upbringing
When I take my nephew
to the park to play basketball,
I look around to spot trolls
who litter and destroy.
" Look at those hoodlooms,
how they behave and talk! "
" They are my friends " he
exclaims. " Your friends?
Has your mom met them? "
" Scondrels and slanderers
have the foul smell of rats in a sewer;
they scatter soda
