Reverse

Don’t be Foolish 
For you to accomplish 
And finally flourish 
Take your time 
With your art and polish
Don’t just preach 
And give off a perfect speech 
Truly practice what you teach 
Than your purpose you shall reach

My Country

Namibia my country my pride
I shall forever be by your side
The landscapes and people are the things I adore
But there is still more to explore in store
Through the pain strain and vain
I still remain focused to maintain my nation 
The future is growing near and it’s clear
As a country we approach it with no fear
My desire is to inspire this Namibian empire 
And light a fire in the valley of success 
So all citizens will be able to express 
Their minds ideology into a clear psychology
All we need is unity, stability and the ability 
To strive for opportunity in every community

Forgiveness

I say never give up on people 
Everyone makes mistakes
Eventually we are all equal
Learn to forgive to be free from guilt 
Instead of judging help one built
The older you get the more you start to analyze 
And in the end you will realize 
It’s not worth it to criticize 
Just understand and acknowledge 
Everyone is different
Learn to use your uniqueness to your privilege

The Journey

The journey to success has no shortcut
Although things may seem difficult 
There’s always a path 
Within the depths of the aftermath 
Life gives everyone a chance 
Its up to you to take it and advance 
Everyone is born with some sort of intelligence 
Sometimes you just need confidence 
And a little persistence 
To bring your goals into existence 
And when you discover your talent 
Learn to stop being absent 
And live your life fully in the present

The Man Above

My father my lord 
My protective armour and sword
The captain of my ward 
The Holy Spirit that keeps me on board 
Forgive me for I have sin
Wash away my pain and wounds on my skin
Give me strength for I am weak
Bless me with wisdom in all I seek 
And patience before I speak
Protect my family from any evil spell 
Keep us happy and well
And let us not dwell with those from hell
Keep me steady but always ready with a strategy 
To conquer all weapons formed against me

Paranoia

I am in pain 
With a feeling that I can't explain
All I know it's difficult to contain 
I feel like pulling down the curtain
But as a man I have to maintain
And find a way to sustain
Instead of being the one to complain
Surrounded by sadness happiness I must claim
I have nothing to gain if I remain in this chain
I have to stop to entertain the paranoia in my brain
Before I fall of track like an unbalanced train

Pride

Customized shoes and a leather coat
That’s the swagger of this poet
Forward is where I’ll stir this boat
My journey is like the dead Sea 
I will always float
If you don’t like this goat 
Than swallow your pride 
And let it reminisce in your throat 
Living life like a goon 
I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon
Sleepless nights and hustling 
From dusk till noon 
I feel like the man on the Moon
Knowing I’m far 
But kept telling myself I’ll get it Soon
I am a poetic tycoon

Breaking Boundaries 2

It's no discussion or debate 
Same energy I receive I reciprocate
I can no longer allow them to contaminate 
Or simply just manipulate 
My life,family and estate 
They key is to isolate
Eat,sleep and hydrate 
And continue ignoring the hate

Dilemma Leo Mbalamana

I was sitting on the porch 
Surrounded by darkness I saw a man glazing a torch
I kept looking at him to see what will happen 
He raised his weapon 
And started shooting at my cabin 
The bullets pierced through the wood I could smell it burn
To avoid any injuries I decided to twist and turn
Involuntarily action is something you don’t learn 
But if you don’t do it your life you will not earn
I rushed back inside to comfort my daughter 
Before this man opens the door to slaughter 
Suddenly the shooting stopped, I was still in shock
All I could hear was the ticking of my clock
I rushed to a cupboard where I kept my semiautomatic 
This was about to get catastrophic 
I looked at my daughter and told her not to panic
I’ll handle this satanic titanic

Careful

Be cautious when making ties
We live among spies 
And are surrounded  by strings of lies
What a surprise 
After the dark storm and harsh cries 
The pain dies 
There’s finally a beautiful sunrise 
Colorful butterflies 
Fresh air and clear blue Skies
