Silent Kill

My sisters and brothers
I start a journey today that
Leads to shadows and doors closed
I embark on a journey no living soul
Could care to escort a living dead

Dead I was declared with no hope of survival
Surgical means failed to
Bring me back to life
A wish hoped for
Killed a pending dream

This virus killed a pending dream 
A dream of successes hoped for
For I am to sick
This virus so cruel
Having no mercy on an innocent body

I gave myself over treatment days and nights 
Spent in a cancer treatment facility
Needles penetrating my body
All in the name of treatment

Oh...how much longer                                                             X2
Should I wait for the day of victory
It seems it's long coming
Dreams deminished
Oh...how cruel can this virus be

Having no mercy on a living dead
Wished to arise 
Like the sun would every morning
Rescue me                                                                                  X2
From this dreadful virus 
As I sink into a tunnel with a wish to return

I

I am mahlatse thobejane
A young girl that is called luck
Luck that has graced the thobejane family
My words flow like a silent beat

A silent beat that is heard down my ancestral linage
A linage that flows of silent poets
 that speak of a voice
As sweet as the nights silence

Silence that is heard as I grace the stage
My poetic instrument realised 
A great explosion 
I have graced the stage

As I walk my life's journey
Feeling as light as a paper
Blown side to side by the precious winds of life 
 led directly to my destination
The destination of poetic B
