Lost in Chaos

Sat in the bliss of time
Spiralling in this endless rhyme
Letters jumbled
Words are fumbled
Lost in a world of uncertainty
Danger of losing all dignity

Throat a perpetual sand pit
Pleading for a forfeit
Tempers are flaring
The mind a desert blazing

There’s a spanner in the works
Too much for the simple jerks
A thief has claimed the wheels
The words of the mouth he steals

Words become aloof
Noise but sound proof
Steps walk away
Cannot save the day
Farewell I say

If you tell me to stop dreaming,  then there's no point in me living

STAND FIRM

Welcome brothers and sisters, I urge you

Heed my words today

We are more than conquerors, sweet church, yes this I dare to say

The oppression you feel will not last forever

For the Lord stands firm by his children’s sides through all fearsome endeavours

We can do everything through Christ who gives us strength.

So what is strength? Explain it to me

To force your authority over someone through brute force?

To enslave innocent children with no remorse?

To take away a man’s sense of identity

Who they are, their love ones and their family?

If that is your idea of strength then you have gravely mistaken me

And where is this God you say has never forsaken me?

Does he see my pain when he’s there at my side?

Does he see the hurt in my tired eyes?

And my heart, does he know how broken it is?

How worn down and chewed up undone it is?

Indeed times for the clenching of fists will arise before us

But let us not be like the wild beasts, charged with with bloodthirsty lust

Flee from the temptation of violence when it exposes itself

For violence brings forth more violence

Causing pain to pass through time until there’s nothing but silence

From generation upon generation hate grows

And clouds the minds and grabs hold of its victim’s souls

Leave the cause of hate to be lost with the past

Why? When affliction and suffering continues to last

So let us join forces as one to break this curse of hate towards one another

That has imprisoned us causing resentment towards each other

Now I know what I ask of you may seem impossible

To forgive and forget

All the anguish we have felt

I understand, I see with my own eyes

How they look at us with hate and despise?

They hate our black skin

How it is so tough yet thin

They hate our dance moves and our rhythm

Compared to their awkward 1-2 step that looks like a chicken

God holds every name across his palm in one line

Well maybe there wasn’t enough space to write mine

I don’t see him, do you?

Not so much, for a while

I see anger, I do, and I also see pain.

Frustration and weakness and cruelty and shame.

The way they look at us, like filth, like sad little lepers.

Where is our dignity Pastor? And where is our shepherd?

In the past they thought of us as retards, who were good for nothing

And used us as mere tools for farming and scrubbing

Walk around like Gods, like a superior race

And treat us like animals of some insignificant race

Just last week I heard on the news of lynching all over

I prayed and I prayed, tell me please, when will this all be over?

When will we be truly free?

To be happy and black, to be proud to be me

To see black as my pride, not a stain of a tragedy?

Or the mark of a slave, endowed by his majesty?

Deep within me I admit, the anger that I feel

But my Father up heaven teaches me to let go and be healed

My son was taken from me and I will never see him again

Embrace him in my arms and see his sweet little grin

That pain doesn’t just die or wither

More like it festers, it grows and spreads like tumour

My mind and my heart, it consumes me all over

But the Lord opened the eyes of my heart and showed me his face

His love and mercy and filled me with His grace

I tell you now he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into His kingdom

Where we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins

Liberate yourself from the hurt, and release the chains of hate and agony that bind you

For the Lord tells us to love our enemies and do good to them

And lend to them without expectation of return

Then our reward will be great and we will be sons and daughters of the Most High

Because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked

Let us show love and kindness to our oppressors

And leave the battle to the Lord, for indeed he has rescued us from dominion of darkness

To all who feel they are weak and unable to forgive and forget

Trust on His Word and lean on Him for strength

For he says,

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Therefore I say delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

For when we are weak, then we is strong.

This my family is true strength

FLY

Dreams are beautiful concept

There are things that in our hearts we accept

But what we fail to realise is life

Life is full of hardships and strife

Walls that look to rise to the skies

But change your perspective and close your eyes

Imagine yourself as a bird flying high and mighty

Make that your goal to soar over all adversity

LEARN

Ah man there I go doing it again

Why, just why

Does this hyper analytical brain of mine

Always react in this way

Like a self-destruct button is pressed

Whenever my parents give me advice

 

Just keep the beak shut

Absorb their words of wisdom

And take head for they speak

With your best of interest at heart

 

An apology is definitely overdue

What is the proper form of communication?

Telecommunication is by far the easiest

But words from the heart

Are best expressed in person

 

I am sorry

I will learn

 

 

Where are we…?

I miss you
Day and night
Forever I wait
But people say
Life is short
Live till fullest
I refuse to
Not without you
I am incomplete
What to do?
Last 5 years
Gone so fast
Past is past
Look to future?
Heart doesn’t lie
Truth is transparent
Thoughts are cloudy
Confusion raining
How much time
Maybe this summer
Or the next
Time will tell
But cannot speak
