As a penny with a hole in it,
someone else spun a coin
that inspired my time.,
So far away from me
you're so far away.
Red, red wine
and there we go again,
You are always on my mind.

Christian Mary.
Khoisan Apr 2023
When the tide rises all ships are raised
it was fundamtally
mother Mary's call.
When boats fell
from standing tall
it's captain took the fall,
who laid hands
on such innocence
who took a stand
albeit a woman
a child
or a man,
is the ocean too deep
and the river too wide
are we as a people
afraid of the fault
caused by crimson tides,
who are we praying for?
Jesus rose when he died
where She humbly stood for
nations to rise.

Vagabond pokes.
Khoisan Feb 2023
Stitches
and punchlines
satanic
lies
from majestic quotes,.
And
there I lost it
shades of
vanity
shards in the mote
on
I prodded
on
I poked
me
myself
and
my
narcissistic jokes,.
Untill
my water broke,
hibernated beneath
this
opaque plastic gloat
in
a
rippled mirror
cracked up
and
ruefully smoked.
True story
I once knew a guy who had 12 kids amongst 4 different wives
none of the children really got to know him neither did his wives called himself a rolling stone and that's how this father never a Dad died.

in the hope that you

On The Cape flats
Khoisan Jan 6
Here
nothing is sacred or silence
since they shoved us in this hole
to work out our own violence
Nothing is in vain
it is the willingness to change
we bleed from the mouth
soil from our bladders
**** on each other
killed or mamed
still nothing stays the same
if you are willing to talk and use
your mind stand together
to effect that change

Khoisan Apr 28
If we might have a second chance
to live the days once more,
and rectify mistakes we've made
to even up the score.

If we might have a second chance
to use the knowledge gained,
as fine as God ordained.

Though we can't retrace our steps
however stands the score,

tomorrow brings another chance
to try once more.

Nostalgic empathy.

Tossed back and forth
