South African To be silent when you have the knowledge and insight is a crime against yourself and those around you. So let it out set yourself free and give a meaning to your existence.

Double Jeopardy
Lustful deceit of truth; Unadulterated treachery of youth; Transformation acceleration - Sloth Like candle to moth Deliberate disregard of lucidity Profligacy elected humility Portly modish scrawny Legislature legitimate parody South Africa today

Southern Comfort
Two sparkle at xciting find. Joy, relief, wishes flood our mind. Reality numbed by ecstasy of find Hardship, struggle, desires for now behind Rightfulness of find, reality’s duality Realization of self, fighting morality The opportunity loss creates uncertainty. The opportunity gain, creates possibility How to capitalize on this potential Designed improvements appear preferential Decided, we proceed unconventional We proceed like natural Blades of diamonds remove the rough Painstakingly disregarding, unwanted stuff Transformation, tough Mindful, not to lose a bough Rough turn sparkle, every time Faceted gem’s birth, sublime Artistry creates, perfect rhyme This treasure set in time Most beautiful combination This magnificent creation Testament of devotion Evokes amazing emotion Bestowed, this incredible treasure Brings about untold pleasure Value, without measure Diamond forever, ours to treasure

Diamond in the rough
While you’re away, I’m at play Your responsibility, increase my probability Your promotion, my devotion Your neglect, my respect Your business trips, our martini sips Your wife, my lover Your night in the pub, my back she rub Your lost treasure, now my pleasure Your ignorance, my perversions Your children, my children

Neglected Wife
The smell of life, roam the air New life will flourish, in all its flair Sky filled, with its bounty to bear A bounty, for all, all to share Rumpled old man, smiles at me, and continue his stare Grey roll in, where sun, moon did stay Young child and his dog, run home afrai Mother and father, smile, nothing did they say Thunder and lightning, kept me at bay I’m so scared, why’re they all so gay Water from heaven, my mind did race Water it’s, it’s all over the place Drops of rain, my sweat replace Mother tried, to remove fear from my face Rumpled old man, tomorrow, you’ll not recognize this place Scared, I lay under my bed Listening, to everything, everyone said Even the passage of Noah, father read How can this be, my dog hasn’t been fed Scared, I fall asleep, under my bed Dawn broke, to my surprise Nothing came, from my thoughts of demise I rush to the window, only to realize Thunder and lightning, needed, for life to rise Desert landscape, green, in front of my eyes Dressed in pajamas, I run outside My world turned, a carousel ride I run, my dog aside My foot slipped, I took a slide Rumpled old man, laughs, with my every stride Red, orange, yellow, turn as days passed From where this bounty, so vast I look at the old man, and ask The answer, the desert landscape, only a mask To see what you must, that’s your task.

AND WHAT NOW
Darkness broke, with call at eleven Call awaited, in the month of seven When the universe, denied me heaven Darkness, mine to endure With alcohol and lust, as the lure It had to end, of that I was sure Darkness, its pain and lessons to learn Lessons, of betrayal and deceit, well earn Reminded me, its self love, I yearn Dawn, break with the coming of light Frequency rise, with equal might A beautiful day, week, month, life in sight Dawn, darkness by light replaced A new life, of surety faced No emphasis on ego and possession placed Dawn, which set the spirit free Just love and beauty, for the eye to see God afforded, all of this to me

AWAKENING
Only ashes left, of this once great empire Empire, the result of childish desire With everything covered, with the best attire But these conquests, body and mind did tire Now all destroyed, by the fire From these ashes, a phoenix did rise Never head turned, to gaze at demise For freedom of the physical, the prize This never came, as a surprise For I lit the fire, of my demise With phoenix, boundless above Soaring away, from the physical clove Along its way, it met Noah’s dove Resting where, water had cut a bluff This new dimension, a very sweet tough Sun rise, blank page, blank canvas, new slate Seed were sown, on ashes of late Air ashes heat water, result germinate New ideas, hopes, dreams, grow at steady rate The sun with its golden shine, sealed my fate
