22/M/Mpumalanga, Nkomazi God Is We.
I have words to share To my younger self He wouldn't want to hear What my mouth bears The rocks on my shoulders Get heavier by growth It's like the more I see My eyes start to bleed The colour of my tears Are not the same ones you know Yours came to teach responsibility Mine came from connection disability The cousins you danced in the rain with Are tackling life to achieve their goals And the people you loved deep Are now pictures floating towards a waterfall I am still stuck where you left me Asking If maybe I was wrong To memorise all your dreams Because this is not what you envisioned

False Hope
A fine gentleman seated at the bench Hearing the birds chirping Beside him there's a worker Painting a new building Both men are in the same park Yet they don't experience the same One is in need of bread for his reasons The other is energetic as a person who just ate Not far away from the situation There's a man playing with a child The child looks so happy And the man not so much There are reasons why we go to parks Reasons vary from person to person And as we reach our limit in that place I hope we all sought what we were seeking

A Place Of Different Tales
There is a story living rent free in my mind. A story so old, it dines and drinks with time. The same story is my present and solid outcome. My hand please help me write to these reading eyes. I heard of a man who sits alone in the sky, He doesn't eat, drink or have a companion nor a wife. They say he has plans for all men in this place. A being omnipotent beyond the aspects of time and space. Sometimes an ignorant man can doubt his own state of being, but all that is what makes him free and supreme. Power lies in the beds of the Lions roaming around free, as they sleep with full bellies without the need to kneel. I heard the same old story all over and over again, I'm now sure wisdom is what the Lions and all the free gain. I am already shaped by my envy to be exactly like the Lions. If green is free and red is dependency, which colour is your crayon?

One Question To Mankind
I do love I do ache I am time Without frame While I'm here I turn insane I know men With no shame They got cuffs Named as labour They pass on trust, On myths as saviours They sell lust To ensure failure I did watch Ever since earlier Now my mind, I cannot find.

Beyond Systems
Eagles spread their wings To reach the top sky A sky that does not blink, It fears to waste time Then here we are Like train out of course We can't seem to reach far With all that gift of thought With dullness, we struck a deal That will shape our lineage I doubt perfection is real Are we even from his image? We litter in our own home, And still claim to be clean Our teachers turned to phones, We are fragile as the same screen If only men were like the Eagle The clouds will be just beneath

Modern Errors
There was once a day A day were men saw colour A lost ship in a foreign bay It's woe to tell what came after We live as our history foretold Detached and gone to astray We eat fruit where death grows And we pass on this very ill way Only if Shaka never trusted the white men Their mirrors refused and our land spared Grazable land with our cattle fed If only my forefather never dropped his spear Today is a different day indeed But still, yesterday can't be hid

Western Tales
Far away from the lands of men Basking in a cage where the sun has sank Ache in my stomach from the lies of friend A friend that moulds wealth in sand You had told me to be free in this place Like the chains are made from plastic wraps Yo' beautiful lies of hope are like wind to my face They just blow to erode what I thought I buried depth I am lost deep in a changing maze And the is no sign of an exit gate Nor Mandela conquer this long of way I surrender and I accept my pensive fate So long as the stars brighten the night, Tomorrow shall be a day for another fight

Steps In Astray
I hate you! Every tiny particle of mud that moulded you The breaths you take suffocate my heart Your mere appearance is like footprints in my mind I despise your presence, The day I layed my eyes on your sheen makeup Contracts with your voice, I'm your servant Ran from what you show to find you in the lineup I really do hate you You stole my lonely thoughts from me Every part of your existence I shall sue Exceptional being as my lawyer flee My arousing odious towards your state of being, Comes from my vivid features of you in my dreams Am I the sparked victim observing in this scene? I wish I never met you to begin with I guess it's safe to say I loathe you Pulled by timidness, I can't describe my feels Peacock steps you take, you have no clue I guess I'll keep the ocean of words in tight seal

Thief Of A Stranger
Days do come and time does pass Winds do blow what a shattered crust Tides tumbling your last of love Sins filling your utmost child Breath mother of all, breath Inhale the smoke from the roots of our morden deeds Endure the depth of holes to ensure our materialistic wealth Gaze your eye as your blood streams with dirt Ohh breath, MaMa breath Spark your fire within, For thine shall see For despair we conquer as your arms widen our nest Through ways of adrift, Death can't deliver his quest Days do come and time does pass Grateful from thy sympathy, we shall last

A star shooting with intensity to the lands of men Residue on it's path is what we forget to acknowledge While some are concerned with where it shall end Some study it's beginnings like a student at college In all it's mystery and all it's unsolved inquirers No one denies it's vivid conscious appearance One can say it lost it's true form upon it's arrival destination Another with satisfaction on the way it turned to be Whether we like what's given to us or not It's better to have something than nothing at all We live with beings far beyond our human comprehension Cz the fact of the matter is that the truth hurts
