KagisoUniversalis - Hello Poetry

The red tree I remembered From the last time I was here With a strange sense of destiny That grew as I came near With ease I lifted off the ground and climbed the canopy Wind in the leaves, that rushing sound set free the bird in me With the wind under my wings From branch to branch I flew The grass was green, the leaves were red And the sky was truly blue I sat there 20 metres high ‘tween mother earth and father sky I rested in the sun kissed crown And let the breeze rock me to sleep And as I fell asleep I fell Where I went I couldn’t tell My body meanwhile tumbled down From its bed atop the crown I didn’t notice at the time So peaceful was this sleep of mine That even while I cracked some ribs My spirit stood there bargaining at the river Styx “Your life is in my hands now, boy” Spoke the ferryman with glee “Is that so” I questioned? It made no sense to me “It’s mine” He said with fury “Unless you bargain well” I didn’t want to lose my life So I pondered for a spell I went out on a limb And offered he take one of mine “Monkeyboy can choose” He said “Since he likes to climb” I told him: “You may take my leg” And before I got specific He said “All right! I’ll take the deal! I’ll have your right, terrific!” I stammered as he faded My view was broken blurry I gazed upon the red Of the foliage above me I never thought my life Would change its course like this But I played dice with the devil And he doesn’t take the **** I woke up in the hospital Where the doctors to no end Looked upon my leg Which they’d tried so hard to mend I slowly came to understand This wasn’t just a dream I’d have to live without it My right leg now has been And though it hurts me deeply And strife now paints my path To have one more chance, to live this life I would cut myself in half ~Kagiso

Into the red tree

The red tree I remembered From the last time I was here With a strange sense of destiny That grew as I came near With ease I lifted off the ground and climbed the canopy Wind in the leaves, that rushing sound set free the bird in me With the wind under my wings From branch to branch I flew The grass was green, the leaves were red And the sky was truly blue I sat there 20 metres high ‘tween mother earth and father sky I rested in the sun kissed crown And let the breeze rock me to sleep And as I fell asleep I fell Where I went I couldn’t tell My body meanwhile tumbled down From its bed atop the crown I didn’t notice at the time So peaceful was this sleep of mine That even while I cracked some ribs My spirit stood there bargaining at the river Styx “Your life is in my hands now, boy” Spoke the ferryman with glee “Is that so” I questioned?

They say hell hath no fury Like a woman scorned Well we have scorned this mother of ours Like no child of hers before We have stripped her body bare and ****** her **** dry We’ve tried to beat her to submission and ignored her anguished cries And even if humanity attempts escape into the sky There is NO way to escape the father’s ever watchful eye In outer space away from mother is a lonely place to die And mars is not the place to be For a resource hungry race That couldn’t recognise true wealth If it slapped them in the face We are now blessed with abundance But even that seems not enough Infinite growth, on finite planet Is a monumental bluff And if we do not learn to share and embrace equality The primal world will bear the brunt Of our ways of gluttony The white man might be spared the death That comes quick and without warning But while everything around us swiftly dies We’ll feel the heat and even rich men will start squirming As they powerlessly face their imminent demise We are approaching our extinction and aware of it Yet those who wield the sceptre Would rather not admit and would prefer to line their pockets while our house is lined in flames They’ll have to learn that there are violent ends to their violent games Dominating the indigenous the women and the weak will only further seal our fate which at this rate is looking bleak If we don’t act before we know we’ll reach the point of no return In that case there will be no future for which we all so deeply yearn Now is the only time for action To prevent the chain reaction Perhaps this earth life was a test Laid before the human race To determine our deserving Of even reaching outer space We have potential to ascend As a peace civilisation But if it’s hell in which we strand it is of our own creation Though we have the rocket power If our direction stays distorted From this womb that is our earth We’ll be the ones being aborted For nature and the human kind Were irreparably misaligned Yet I believe we have a chance to heal this earth If we realise our nature In ourselves, our inner worth In my heart I feel I’m part Of this nature regeneration To rebel against extinction And protect all of creation I believe that’s what is right This is the peace for which I fight ~Kagiso

But what does that mean? I am the raccoon Oblivious I’ve been I once was a monkey To make laugh was to live I still am a monkey much joy I still give The monkey inside me Might act as a cloak Was the monkey inside me Joker or Joke The monkey, the mask I thought it not me The monkey, the mask I did not yet see That the monkey, the mask Is a part of me I am the raccoon In case someone asks I am the raccoon Master of masks A fox I once felt me and foxy I was A hunter I felt me slick tongue and sharp jaws The fox he was smart And good at love’s game But the fox he knew Quick love ain’t the same The fox, the mask Charming and sly The fox, the mask Was wondering why Why the fox, the mask So hard he did try I am the raccoon Though cute my appeal I am the raccoon Your heart I will steal The lion I’ve played When time came to lead The lion I’ve played By word and by deed When I was the lion The orders I gave When I was the lion Like a king I’d behave The lion, the mask With a queen by my side The lion, the mask At the head of the pride Felt the lion, the mask Was not my true hide I am the raccoon I finally see I am the raccoon The masks they are me Yet behind all these masks Hides my curious mind A little raccoon Caring and kind When he scavenges life Happiness he does find He shares it with all And leaves no-one behind 🦝🐵🦊🦁🐘🐅🦓

I Am The Raccoon

But what does that mean? I am the raccoon Oblivious I’ve been I once was a monkey To make laugh was to live I still am a monkey much joy I still give The monkey inside me Might act as a cloak Was the monkey inside me Joker or Joke The monkey, the mask I thought it not me The monkey, the mask I did not yet see That the monkey, the mask Is a part of me I am the raccoon In case someone asks I am the raccoon Master of masks A fox I once felt me and foxy I was A hunter I felt me slick tongue and sharp jaws The fox he was smart And good at love’s game But the fox he knew Quick love ain’t the same The fox, the mask Charming and sly The fox, the mask Was wondering why Why the fox, the mask So hard he did try I am the raccoon Though cute my appeal I am the raccoon Your heart I will steal The lion I’ve played When time came to lead The lion I’ve played By word and by deed When I was the lion The orders I gave When I was the lion Like a king I’d behave The lion, the mask With a queen by my side The lion, the mask At the head of the pride Felt the lion, the mask Was not my true hide I am the raccoon I finally see I am the raccoon The masks they are me Yet behind all these masks Hides my curious mind A little raccoon Caring and kind When he scavenges life Happiness he does find He shares it with all And leaves no-one behind 🦝🐵🦊🦁🐘🐅🦓

When I look into your eyes I see a very old soul So many times almost crushed by despair and turmoil But to me this is a sign of your tenacity Your scars are living proof of your vitality You’ve seen the highs You know the lows You realise what life is worth It shows courage, that once again You have returned to walk this earth And once again you will find that life does not come easily There will always be adversity and tragedy But I’ve seen you have the wisdom It’s the wind under your wings You are painfully aware these are but temporary things For in your eyes I see that childlike wonder That vibrant spark of curiosity You dream of what lies over yonder You are delighted by the things you’ve yet to see You’re an eternal child That much is evident Your playfulness is like a shining sun Radiant, and ever innocent Though you are old Your journey’s just begun And on your path you’ll meet many a soulmate Many old friends come back in different roles Much like an acting troupe, these souls, travel in proximity It’s impossible to miss a twin flame in your vicinity You’ll realise you are part of a much greater whole When you look into my eyes I see a beautiful soul In it I see the universe and stars brighter than gold When I look into your eyes I see a very old soul

Old Soul

When I look into your eyes I see a very old soul So many times almost crushed by despair and turmoil But to me this is a sign of your tenacity Your scars are living proof of your vitality You’ve seen the highs You know the lows You realise what life is worth It shows courage, that once again You have returned to walk this earth And once again you will find that life does not come easily There will always be adversity and tragedy But I’ve seen you have the wisdom It’s the wind under your wings You are painfully aware these are but temporary things For in your eyes I see that childlike wonder That vibrant spark of curiosity You dream of what lies over yonder You are delighted by the things you’ve yet to see You’re an eternal child That much is evident Your playfulness is like a shining sun Radiant, and ever innocent Though you are old Your journey’s just begun And on your path you’ll meet many a soulmate Many old friends come back in different roles Much like an acting troupe, these souls, travel in proximity It’s impossible to miss a twin flame in your vicinity You’ll realise you are part of a much greater whole When you look into my eyes I see a beautiful soul In it I see the universe and stars brighter than gold When I look into your eyes I see a very old soul
