The House of South Africa

...They were the dedicated leaders who endured gigantic sufferings for this house
Their red waters flourished the freedom we are enjoying today 
They rested for good in the pool of blood until were found by their spouse 
Their hearts stood beating, but were beaten ’n bones broken for this way

But people of today depicts not even tiny gratefulness for what they have done 
Today leadership is an opportunity to develop one’s house 
Unlike in the past where leadership was intended at developing the house of S.A
Party manifesto is their only way to steal people’s house and win their position.

Lord have mercy, OUR house is sinking down the drain 
This is not what they have fought for is it?
Change the course of this house into house of fair and plain 
Promote equality, one house, one nation, one kit

In leadership, Lord change the love of money into strong passion 
To change the world into a better house for all in nation not CORRUPTIO

Beauty

Beauty
beauty, beauty, I don’t recognize 100%
I don’t see fair, I’m confident…
Like a manual German machine, I’m Neutral
Like a four-year old boy, I’m enquiring

But, through You beauty is distinct
Beauty is when I look at you and understand smile
It is not open-air where beauty lodges
But within, where smile arises

You’re a guide to beauty
You’re a habitat to beauty
Beauty trusts upon you
For You are beauty’s true definition

Beauty is when you take away your glasses but still shine 
Beauty is when beauty can’t go round you
Beauty is when beauty can’t go overhead you
Beauty is when beauty can’t go without you
Beauty is when beauty can’t go beneath you
Beauty is when beauty goes through you 
Beauty is when beauty can’t live without you
…You are beauty

Famous Letter

It was that time of stage, when I couldn’t speak out 
My love for her, although I had to confess 
That I love her for real with no doubt. 
Then the idea came: write letter to the press.

Maybe I had to write just as easy as I had to tell,
For rescue from my psychological prison.
Still untold, love scared me just like the animal I can’t spell
Still unfold, but I had to unfold it, for one reason. 

Thence the idea took course and was implemented 
And the whole nation read and she too. 
So when I heard, she had already commented 
to people saying that she loved me too. 

Love began as quick as kick start
And memories began as soon as we start

Love

Wow! How beautiful is this…
How surprisingly it does a good job…
Hmm…! I wonder its maker…
They must be proud of him where ever they are.

He works freely and is not honored 
Of him people are united and are connected 
Never mind longest distances with Him you will be covered
24 hours 365 days he operates without a failure 

How strongly he is staying in them from birth to death
How clever he is turning strangers to bests                 to lovers
And yet he is invincible…but, for what did he choose to be 
Can he see us though and why is he not talking? Oh he does

He is the real friend, black or white 
Forever in one’s heart he stays and he’s very quiet 
He never leaves anyone nonetheless you bite
Nothing can eliminate him they have tried the whites 

His actions does not occur in chance 
For he still strongly exists even after a failure of twice 
The whole world rely on him for good human relations 
He is LOVE and is never tired of being used by god’s creations

Alcohol

I own majority of people, I have many followers
Their shy! They rely on me so to confront fellas 
Consecutively I destroy the cream of Earth and its Beauty, Flowers
They unnoticed this, to them it is as if they are fliers

Bit by bit they exit the Earth for good, it’s me
I don’t play I kill many every four hours 
See crime rate grows, illegals rise and accidents are high, it’s me
I separate Friends, Families, colleagues and even Lovers 

Hoe stupid they are to claim they use me for refreshes
How foolish is it to host a party and never forget me
I will forever dominate this Earth, yes I shall
They can’t live without me, I’m their oxygen, yes me

I Alcohol will never die
Unless they all die…

Lost and Stolen Child

Lost and stolen child 
Dark world, ugly days 
Our world! Green world of grin, wickedness 
Few friends to trust, No stays 
Transitioned from poor to bad world, no happiness 

He is gone leaving scar in my heart 
You ‘He’, I’m successionally sorrowing silently for your forever absence 
I wake up consecutively in the Mid-hours due to this hurt 
I’ trying to forget you but I’m used to your presence

But only God knows where you are…
One day reveal the truth to me, Lord
Bring on them angels to lead me far 
Look at me heal my sufferings it’s hard my God

To my grievings for my past years 
And yes I admit I will learn to change over my next years

When We Meet

That moment…where school uniform was all over as
the Timekeeper rang it, then noise began, with excitement 
While educators had to rest so were we, we ran… 

And there you were…brighter than your shadow
As I approached, lighter than your overflow
The tallness, the rare fit captive body, that figure 
Gave you your uniqueness…perfectness, rare lips to lipstick
Done with vigilance with no leak so was your hip

Couldn’t hesitate it, that was extraordinary 
As we glanced…I felt my rescue to my Psychological prison 
Had no alternate but to grab your heart that sparkled from a distance 
You lit my Heart while those flawless red lips caught my sight

Your beauty hit my shock and I was ready to converse 
Your name was a music to my heart that kept my heart dancing your tune 
It took off my fear 
You gave me your numbers and couldn’t wait 
And so I gave you a call and you felt the same 

Now I’m proud of you and for that reason I choose you
Then let it forever be so…me and you

Without You

Morwatshehla MR – Without you
I’m not certain to claim if I am me 
For all I know is I’m incomplete 
Nevertheless, I was once really myself 
My Frustrations have a reason why
Loneliness, Boredom, are knocking 
Depression is what I am going through 
Wish to cry…but shall it help?
Only feathers are left in my hands

So help me God for
You know my weakness…send someone 
So he will guide me through this tempest 

Without you what shall I claim to be
You gave me love where there is none 
You were light in my tunnel 
You entered in my life and you caused my fun 
Please honey
Your memories to me was, is and will always be red
As you flow in my vessels I’m able to move 
And that makes your love to be unforgettable for long I’m still breathing

Unspoken Words

Unspoken Loss 

So…this is it…Sorrowful times. 
The chappies has finally gone out of sugar,
I would say I’m relieved, perhaps I’m depressed.

The flower that caused my Happiness has wilted,
I have a pen with no paper, 
I have the phone but who shall I call?

The truth is what will I do without you…?
You taught me how to Love…Smile…Trust
But to whom shall I practice these to?

In my hands…your territory you left like a lightening, 
All my day was shut and blacked out unexpectedly. 
When I lost you my world fell apart,
I couldn’t see because it was dark and
then I was cold as You ran and ran 
Then I started realising you were important

Priscilla

…     …genuine of love aroused from you,
It was meaningless…null and none.
BUT…you came to me like a descending angel to demonstrate one, 
I hoped less…helpless as a boy lying in a pool of blood but you

Had that stability ...that capability…that ability to lift my hope
You donated me faith arising from your bottom heart
Your warm heart depicted the legitimate love of you for me of no hurt
I’m me because of you and for that matter I chose to love you as my final hope

My compliments…I’m highly grateful for that
You are unconditional…you are a true image of Christ.. born of true love
My dusty bungalow received you and you endured with me all the sufferings of the discomfort 
Nevertheless your initial cry took course in a mansion and you vacated it for me

Ladies like you are really scarce
And for that matter I will keep you as my pride…
