Spoken words
Listen more to things
Than to words that are spoken
People speaks words they have forgotten
I love you this is not enough
Since actions speaker than the words
People we don’t practices what we preaches
We live in the shadows darkening around
Shadows that fading into the day
Shadows that lightens and grows deep
I speak wishing to set an example
Because spoken words turned blunt
In the atmosphere of hatred, spoken words
Violating our minds,
The mirror of our feelings and souls
Exploding in brain, dislodging our consciences
Spoken words are not born in chains
But run through unreachable patters
Of human kind as the expression of desire
Spoken words sing their desire and do
What they like, entering your ear
No way of getting rid of them.
Tsotsi
From the time you were born
As the baby boy
Taking your first breath
You were purposefully born
To act dutifully and obediently
And lift the lid
But you have disappointed
The womb that gave birth to you
By being persuaded by evil
Who taught you to make living Out of pain,
For you to be happy one has to be unhappy
You are now in prison
For high reason, you lack reasons
For acting like dictator
It is about time to reborn
You deserve second chance.
Snow
The tyranny of weather
Holding the world hostage
Snow blindness infects, the white angel
Snow blows luminous the season that obliterates
Visible touch of whiteness people made statues
As the snow settle like a plaster
Sky a whip gone white, it blotted sunrise
Flowers crystallise upon altars
Whiteness of snow falling still
The invader of the familiar.
Seeing
Spare me the agony of seeing
I wish I was blind
So that I cant see, but be told
When days are dark
As the trouble troubles the world
Hearts grow cold
When people never seemed to care
Sicknesses reigns the land
Spare me the agony of seeing
I wish I was blind
So that I cant see but be told
As life is unrespected
Husbands abuses their wives
Violence is relative
As hatred is stalking the world
When there is no longer culture of respect
Spare me the irony of you
I wish I was blind
So that I cant see, but be told
That Africa is dying slowly
Ha bana ba motho ba lwantshana
Ho thwe ntja tsa setsumi dijana maro
Blood spills down like a rainfall
As rivers are fully filled with tears
I wish I was blind
Spare me the agony of seeing.
Healing the world
War and poverty are caused
Struggle and sickness reigns
Violence is relative
Caused by selfish others
And our own reaction
Let’s change the world
And be the changes we want to see
By practicing what we preaches
In the long run we tend to get what we give
The intelligence choice in life
Is to help build kind of society
We want to live in when we grow old
Much depends on our goodwill
To heal this beloved world
HIV and aids
Light the candles right now
As the symbolic flame of love
Rivers filled with tears
I smell blood, someone is in pain
Death is daily stalker
Streets are alive with orphans
Streets are alive with widows and widowers
I cry out my insubstantiality
As HIV an aids reigns the land
Biggest challenges ever faced by human kind
The fourth world war
Cemeteries are fully filled
Let us fight aids, not with accusation
But with compassion
You are who you are
Listen I don’t make difficulties of your opportunities
Make opportunities of your difficulties
Be open to both necessity and opportunity
Even though paths take you down
From what you get make a living
As you are motivated by the soul hunger
Rather than the egos greed
Self respect is the root of discipline
Think of what you have to do as easy
And it will become easy
Your strength is doing what you are afraid to do.
Struggle develops someone’s strength
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet
Character cannot be made except by a steady long continued process.
Accept finite disappointment but never lose hope.
Be yourself there is no one better qualified
The direct foe of courage is the fear itself
Believe that you are the best, if not pretend
Destiny is not a matter of chance it’s a thing to be achieve
Women’s
You strike a woman you strike a rock
The holiest thing alive
With the hands rocking the cradles
They rules the world
At the tender age of ups and downs
Volatile stage of human kind
Women’s loves endures through all
In the face of the world condemnation
A woman is a woman still
Where there is a woman there is way
With the most powerful force in life
Women’s most endangered species
More of a commodity than a woman
Women’s don’t cry foul in the face of adversity
Women’s stir the hearts of millions
Women’s embrace new concepts with verve
Women’s face their deficiencies and acknowledge them
TRY AGAIN
I have tried
I have strived
I have given
I have battled
With swords and lance
But destiny barred the door
And would not give me a chance
I am tired
I am ill
I am cheated
Yet still
I am determined to win
So call me anything but defeated
Because tomorrow
I will try again
Don’t quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and debts are high
And you won’t smile but to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must but don’t quit
Life is a queer with its twist and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won and had id stuck it out
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
You never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
Stick to the fight when you are hardest hit
It’s when things seems worse do not quit
