'kasa' - Free

Success is not about Excess rather Access
Day and night, Day and night.
Life is on, Life is off
take a Step and die
than Standing dead alive
the idea of a Classic example
is know where near Perfection
man's Crave sees know Grave
Those you like you surround self with,
Great! 
Those you like do they like you?
Answer!
Life misleads man to think 
Death is a villain 
whiles the true villain Lives
Failure with little or know regret 
is quite or much fulfilling
Judging the hurt of a slap by its sound,
is to say a punch can't hurt
With fun
Patience is upheld in essence,
that is to Relax
Letting-go is Success in Failure
whiles Holding-on is Failure in Success
a devil evil vil is HELL
a World fast losing its values
holds on to nothing, 
all in the name of Freedom
Feeling ecstatically free here; in this world?
Wait after death to truly know
Afraid to die? Don't waste your time. 
Life holds more than enough
Fear to get used to before you leakout freely, 
at last

Gone

What I let go, I seek
Not the thing rather
its substance
Like the light of fire or 
the hope it brights

What I let go, I seek
Not the fame rather 
acknowledging my existence
Like the jewel golden or 
the rich yellow shine

What I let go, I seek
Not the brawl rather
the chant of a Victor
Like Ali's ''KO'' shot or
the raw brunt of strength

What I let go, I seek
Not love rather
a friend, One to trust
and care for unto death
Like nothing,
just a True Friend

What I let go, I seek
That is You.

'kasa' - Life and Death 1

Live your Good Life, knowing GOD is Good always unto death 
What are we here for? to Die, so get Ready
Am not afraid of Death but Life scares me
A Breath tells it all, 'IN' and 'OUT' so is Life 
Life is today this second, next second and day we know nothing of 
So blindly we live today but sets sight on tomorrow's future
Freedom unappreciated Jails
Cynics of Life have a lonely grave to be content with
The laughter Death brings to our faces, is that of lost Vanity
Abounding Sin makes inconsistent participation look Sinful
True Darkness of this world sleeps not in the Shadows of the Night 
but lies within the Heart of Man

'kasa' - Truth and Wisdom 3

an Eagle's flight is no fright
rather a height to fright all prey
You always stand tall
when you discount sky heights
Standing on the tallest Mountain
does not make you fly,
for your soles the Earth behold
Indeed the Universe occupy real space
but true space our Hearts and Minds occupy,
in comprehensible vastness
the Truth you run away from never chases, why? 
Because you never left it behind, how?
Its your Heartbeat
The long barking dog exhibits little terror
but more fear, so is a nagging being
our Undeniable Footprints on shore
whispers not to the washing waves
As a being, man's closest of living a Dream
is to go blind, deaf and mute. Awake
Madness is just a Feeling 
better short-lived or forever in-caged
Man eagerly cried-off childhood Freedom
just to anxiously search for it, a life-time.
Guess what? Man never did find
If the lettering of a Poet expresses
real Freedom which the Mad lives,
then call me 'a Mad Poet’

'kasa' - Truth and Wisdom 1

Meaning is meaningless, dead; for Life holds meaning
Don't be Terrible when Troubled, to avoid a Terrible Trouble
Death is a way-off Life
mastering Life is a share waste of Time, we are not here to stay
How Foolish are you? Measure it to grow Wise
A toddler's wisdom surpasses that of a furious Wiseman
The drum beats of the Wise, falls flat at the dancing feet of a Fool
Knowledge dies, Wisdom lives beyond death
Confusing the Cock's cough with its crow, wakes the Morn early
a Roof is the Building. So is Man, Life
the Body is filled with Pain but man never get used to it
a yelling Truth is a silent one
a Knock goes further than a Scream when at a King's door-step

Words He seeked and pursued.

Mandela, Tolerance
Madiba, Hope
Words He exhibited and gave.

Mandela, Truth

Words He speeches and embraced.

Brightening His universe in completing
His dream,
Mandela the Mandala

'kasa' - Life and Death 2

Man perfects precautions to Live
just to be overwhelmed by progress, 
to think He can elude Death
Need not Die to feel Lifeless, for Life always finds the exit
On the battle-field called LIFE, know one kills but for SELF
When worldly Pressures cloth us in,
the Measures our LORD shall tailor to suit
GOD cries only for the Living. For the Dead are Home
whiles We Living are Truly Away from Home
Good as GOD, Bad as the devil. MAN
truly; Death is man's real motivation to Live
A Careless world cares less if you Live or Die
The Peace in war lies in the bodies laid to rest
a Torch-Bearer quenches the flame,
leaving us blind with tears
Death is know judgment upon mankind,
just a way-off Life
Death holds the Keys to unlocking
the Understanding behind Life

'kasa' - Me

Am here as me but not for self
my Peace and Disturbance
are core to my Words
I hate begging for Money because
I Don't Respect it
If calling me a 'fool'
overwhelms me uncontrollably, then I am
Rise the bar high, very high. 
About to set that standard 
from beneath with a stroll
I see Knowledge from afar 
but distance blares my Understanding
Some answers you won't get,
Replies you won't receive but know I care
Please! Don't hate me.
I Promise to change if I miss Paradise, dead
Am here not for the fame or wealth,
just want my words to sing on and on. 
Heart deep felt
like the Wesley’s sound
when long gone,
AMEN

Annabell

This is know departure
But a posture
Distance journeys on without me
Aloof I stand to watch
The railing speed of time
My Heart, tells it all
All grown now
Though gone for just a while
Here, just a departing distance apart
'Move on!' 'Move on!'
For me to cross
Cross to my heart
My daughter
She stands in waiting
Yes, those are Her feet
I just got off the pacing train
Annabell I see, to dearly hug

'kasa' - God Life

Live the Miracle you Believe
GOD is up GOD is down, 
deep in Hearts HE resides
to stop Believing is to stop 'Being' living
Do all you can with know or little Regret, 
knowing there are some stuff
you can't do without GOD
the death of the Righteous is the birth Angels
indeed the young shall grow
and the Old must die
what if,
Life was a dream you die to awake
the Possible is true
the Impossible is true,
now choose your Truth
Go all out for the best with your best. 
Win or Loose,
you would standout from the rest
between the Poles lies a Goal,
so shift your Goal not the Pole
Patience is really not about waiting
but rather relaxing to appreciate
Life as it is, with what you have
Brighter are the Stars you can fish for,
only if the Skies you see as an Ocean
the Quality you fail to acknowledge
shines better from distance
