Premium MemberABC Loving

Apples and oranges are you and me
Both can be sweet and totally fruity
Cherry kisses so soft and free
Dates we embrace celebrating 
Emerald eyes drink your shape
Fuchsia cries during love we make
Golden stars seem to serenade 
Helium hearts rise like sunny day
Indigo tongue painted by cocktail 
Joyfully charmed by you as well
Karma has finally got it

SHAKA ZULU

When they play hide and seek
And memorize your words
Watch them
When they adjust the truth
And do not know what is occurring 
Smile at yourself
These,these are the revelations,

Sometimes the truth
Is not spoken
It is shown
Sometimes the lies
Are not shown 
They are spoken 
Distinguish the individuals,

When they play hide and seek
And imitate your words
See them
When they reconstruct the truth
And

NANDI OF THE ZULU KINGDOM

A mother is a springboard, strong and sure
From which dreams soar, and spirits roar.  
She launches hearts with boundless grace 
Lighting the path toward life’s embrace.  

Nandi was Shaka Zulu’s springboard  
With eyes as sharp as an eagle's gaze.  
She guided him to rise in might
A lioness who never swayed
Holding steady

The Zulu Kingdom

It has truly been a journey 
The sequence of the unexpected 
It has truly been an exploration 
The discoveries of the ancient
It has truly been a strategy 
A building of a nation,

As the water falls into the pot
May the amazement be amazed
As the wind starts to blow 
May the unexpected be excepted
As the sky begins

Premium MemberA Zulu Warrior

Do you sometimes see a Zulu Warrior
Staring back from the mirror in the morning
A nasty fierce looking bad tempered dude
Obscenities flying out without warning

Crabbing bout having to make a living
But enjoying all the many accoutrements
If it wasn't for that, it'd be something else
People just love to complain and vent

A shower and shave, you're almost human
Not

May You Remember My Name King Shaka Zulu

As the reasons starts to unfold
And the culture takes its formation
May you accept it
You were born to lead
Warrior you are

Decisions were made before your time
Now, a living proof of those
Innovations were formulated before your time
Now, an utilization of those
Strategies were invented before your time
Now, implementation of those
Conquering the world

As your life starts to shape into

Premium MemberZuni and Zulu Remain Single

Zuni and Zulu cute twin gorillas
They loved the most insane hairy fellas
They courted them expertly
Fed them sweet chamomile tea
For they were such conniving bellas

Jake and Jim went to their hut for tea
Both fell for Zuni unfortunately
Zulu was so mad
She called them both “Cad”
So neither were offered matrimony

Staring back from the mirror in the morning!

Obscenities flying out without warning

An Ashanti warrior A Bantu dancer 
I am a Yoruba royal clothed in my Asooke 
Dancing Adowa and kpalogo to tunes from wulomei and masekela  

I am proud Masai 
Standing around manyattas, 
Jumping to melodies from the olaranyani
Eunoto is here and today I dance in front my peers in transition into a senior

Uncle Zulu

With unsettled heart,
I say this,
Though,I hope to be brisk
In this rage
And more...
I wish I relinquish
The flow of terrific vengeance
Going here and there
Moving like blood
Down those streams,
Thus exciting so much,
So much negative energy
That my veins feel ablaze
Uncle zulu!
Thank the gods for these tenets
That keeps you awake
And steady in this state
That in my stinking bate
I pardon your

Post-Aparthied Same Zulu

Has God accepted
your burning
white flesh
yet?

As the blood seeps into the ground
nourishing the land 
that was advanced by civilization.

The raped White carcasses
of White farmers
residents
and their ancestors 
made them equal:

To the Black death of the dark continent.

Civilizations' fall 
despite the gospel given --
that said love your enemy.

The pagan and tribal era has returned
--to dance upon the White

Hlengiwe Khanyisile Zulu

Still wondering
trying to understand my title?
well that just a name of my QUEEN,
that is my sister.

Hlengiwe the lady who raised me and my subligs,
in times of deaath, sorrow and weakenesses,
In times of hunger , poorer and anger,
She always hold our hands and say,
"together we can do it"

In days where we lost hope,
she helped us restore
