The Wait

Its taking Longer than it 
seemed;
Harder than I dreamed;
Different from what I 
themed;
My heart yearns for its 
stoppage;
But life creates its everyday 
new page;

My mind is engulfed with 
this chronic pain;
And stressed out with 
thinking is my brain;
Is this going to last 
forever?;
Won't this leave and stay in 
my past?;
Question upon Question;
Still I find my self in my 
own oblivion;

I should chill now;
As I don't want to shed a 
tear;
But I still wait in hope and 
fear; 
Fear that i'll remain with 
this forever;
And hope that my fear 
would just be a deceiver;
I wait;

A Life To Remember, Mandela Madiba

1918 you gave your first 
cry;
And sprung into life's ups 
and downs;
And turns and rounds;

Many years into it;
Your mind grew stronger;
And your actions became 
wiser;

Though Apartheid was the 
system;
You still stood firm;
In your fight from freedom;

A very tough fight it was, 
but still;
Your victory created a new 
era;
Your triumph made life 
better;

Your words of wisdom;
like the sides of a sharp 
sword;
Pierce into our hearts and 
inspires the world;

Your humility and 
generosity;
Your kindness and rare 
forgiveness;
I cherish with all 
seriousness;

Your leadership reminds 
me of Moses;
Your faith reminds me of 
Abraham;
Your passion for what you 
believe in reminds me of 
Paul;

Your willingness to do 
whats right reminds me of 
Noah;
And your endurance 
reminds me of Joseph;
I could go on and on;

I just hope our leaders 
would carry on;
with these qualities you 
possesed;
to leave the world at its 
best;

And though you left us this 
December
Your Legacies we will 
always remember
Goodbye Mandela Madiba





Few of his Quotes

- "We must use time wisely 
and forever realize that 
time is always ripe to do 
right"

- "It always seems 
impossible until it's done"

- "Education is the most 
powerful weapon which 
you can use to change the 
world"


Thought provoking yea? 
We sure would miss him. 
RIP Mandela, MUCH RESPECT.

Bed In the Morning

That's the fifth Yawn;
My mind like a new born;
I still continue my rolling 
and turning;
Call it Laziness;
thats your own business;
I'm in my own little world;

I think of getting up;
But the spirit is giving up;
I think its a bed-magnetism;
Creating this unforseen 
attraction;
To my body reaction;

Urghhh!;
Mum finally calls;
The disruption in mind 
relaxation;
I wish it was just a dream;
But its as real as the Blue 
stream; 

I Sigh at my Thoughts;
Coz its all a strong fantasy; 
Covering up my strong 
addiction; 
to the Diziness;
Caused by the Laziness; 
Of the Morning Bed;
My bed in the morning;

Is It Real

Is it real or are you faking 
it? ;
Can you testify truly 
without a hit?
That it is as strong as it 
seems? ;

Even in the absence of 
every being;
You are poised to create a 
scene;
That goes against all sins;
I could call you the mustard 
seed;
But, is it worth it? ;
It is one thing to be known 
for something;
And another to be firm in 
acting;

The story begins with the 
action;
The test;
The great test that you 
can’t detest;
Your arms are tied;
Sitted in that waiting room;
And like a criminal that is 
tried;
You shiver like its all going 
to end in doom;
No! She must live…;
That’s what goes through 
your mind;
And even a quick magic 
right
now, you won’t dare to 
mind;

I thought you had it in you;
I thought it was for real;
Even after all the binding;
And through all the casting;
Your mind is still in a doubt 
situation;
And you run helter skelter 
in search of a faster 
solution;
From Church to Church;
From Temple to Temple;
And alas! From shrine to 
shrine;
How then can the light 
shine?
As it has finally been lost 
for a
cheap fine;

The word says it’s the 
evidence of
things not seen;
The assurance of things 
hoped for;
A supernatural gift given to 
you;
And yet your distance from 
it grew;
Like both sides of a forever
widening canyon;

You once testified;
That he was crucified;
Not for nothing sake;
But for our whole spiritual 
make;
A good reason for our 
belief in him;
And our total submission;

Have you forgotten or are 
you blinded? ;
Blinded by impatience and 
greed;
And now;
The big question;
Where lays your faith?
Is he not the same as he 
was in the past?
The healer, the provider, the
protector;
The I am that I am;
Where lays your faith?
An encouraging answer 
would
spark up a good fate;

After all the roaming for 
quick solution;
You still come back to your 
place
of true solution;
Inevitable!
That’s the word;
He raised Lazarus from the 
dead;
He said a word and the evil 
spirits
fled;
Does that ring a bell?
I guess it does now;
And it’s clear that you once 
lost
the faith;
And luckily it’s not too late;
Use the kneeler;
Make that prayer;
Have the belief;
Feel the relief;
And Alleluia
The problem is all gone;
The story of faith;
Preaching to your state;
Good or bad;
Hope it is real;
Hope it’s not fake;
Your faith;

There's More To Life Than,,,,,

Longing for the best;
moving east and west;
living for the money;
for a life sweeter than 
honey;
Searching for answers;
questions for worldly 
breakthrough;

Lost in the fantasy of life;
forgeting your purpose for 
life;
Dignity, lost;
Self-Respect, Thwarted;
Past Achievements, Bursted;
Spirit of God, Departed;
all in the pursuit for 
fortune and fame;
or just to be in the high 
class and in the game;

Extinct are the partenal 
advice;
In rapid growth are the 
love for vices;
Saw it coming from the 
onset;
was quiet, never wanted 
an upset;
warnings came, as time 
passed;
To the wind they all flew 
like the flared gas;

Enjoying the moment at 
mean time ;
It's a real good feeling, no 
crime;
yet on the last day I 
wonder;
will it be all worth it?, just 
ponder........;
Now Pause;
Dont fuss;
its constant and will always 
be;
Change!;
Timeless? Yes it is;
But ineffective on the last 
day;
Dont delay, make the right 
way;

This Crony

I knew you to be the strict 
one;
or so I thought;
Seeing you I only moved on;
without being taught;
from a distance; 
I felt the attraction;
but in ur presence;
I felt a repulsion;

Strange;
or so it seemed;
with rage;
my questions beamed;
knowing you; 
answered my questions;
learning with you; 
killed my assumptions;

Friend indeed;
so I realized;
there in my need;
without being hypnotized;
with you a bright future 
anticipates;
with you great 
achievements awaits;
with you... With you...

About My Dad

Like a Shepherd to its 
sheep;
Like a Bee-hive to its bee;
Your arms protects me;
From Dangers I don't even 
see;
And I Ponder;
How nice to have my father;

Your Words of wisdom;
like swords of a Kingdom;
Pierce through my heart;
And kills my state of 
confusion;
Still, I Ponder;
How good to have my 
Father;

When my Stubborn me;
Engulfs my Normal me;
You Prune down my wings;
And put me in place;
Yet I Ponder;
How nice to have my Father;

And I will try and try and 
try;
To make you Smile and 
smile and smile; 
And would say it louder;
How nice to have my 
Father!;

Aid To a Troubled Heart

It hurts, I know it does;
for me its like a been there;
done that thingy;
it's like you are alone;
in a world of your own;
left engrossed in your deep 
thoughts;
to the left is the provoker; 
to the right is the big joker;
where do you then turn to?;
to find your breakthrough;

Resilience check;
Courage check;
endurance Check;
but still your mind is still 
not in-check;
Could it be your 
environment?;
your place of abode?;
Causing this state of 
depression;
when it should be creating 
a progression;
of great distinction;

I know it might not be easy;
the struggle, the neglect, 
the reject;
but yet I wont fail to reflect;
on the purpose of this 
piece;
its simple, its about faith, 
about shaking off troubled 
feathers;
and having more than a 
piece of peace;
its about getting out of 
that spell;
by saying all is well;

Eventual Triumph

Yay! I made it at last;
though it did'nt come as 
fast;
though it seemed hope 
had past;
yet I made it at last; 

A Worthwhile journey i 
won't trade;
though mistakes were 
made;
though prices were paid;
Still I made it in high grade;

Absently Present Love

Where will you be from?
From whose womb were 
you nutured?
where in the world are you 
featured?
Far or near;
just give me sign;
so i wont fear;
that You won't be mine;

Love of my life,where at 
thou?;
with whom I would make 
the endless vow;
you whom my heart yearns 
for by the second;
Far or near;
just give me a sign;
so i wont fear;
that You won't be mine;

Might have not met you;
But your overflowing 
kindness and care;
Are what i feel inside 
which is quite rare;
so Far or near;
just give me a sign;
so I wont fear;
that you won't be mine;

Like Isaac to Rebecca;
Like Abraham to sarah;
the connection will remain 
there forever;
Far or near;
just give me a sign;
so i wont fear;
that you won't be mine;


My search for you knows 
no bounds;
until you move from 
Searched to found;
but until then, I say;
Far or near;
Just give me a sign;
So I wont fear;
that you won't be mine; :)
