Though time has built
an
endless warp
of
suffering and pain
the
ancient dust of Africa
is
breaking down the chain
can you hear
the
winds of change
shifting
through the brain
the
ancient dust of Africa
makes
diamonds
in
the
falling
rain
a message of hope to all parents
Of
the
Third world child
The voices are always there
And the words have been spoken
We are there to listen for understanding
In order to make our own destinations
With every presentation
We seek clarity
We get a grasp of the story
In order to avoid ambiguity
There’s so much light.

It’s bright
Glaring
Scorching
Darkness inside.

It’s burning
Erasing
Covering
Truth inside.

Isn’t it beautiful in the dark?
When there’s no sun to mellow tone the brain
When there’s no light to scorch the sight

Dark, like dots on black.

Where the skeleton uproars
The stench crawls  
And the wound moans.

It’s too much light
Too many masks.
Too many smiles.
Too bright.
And Burning.

I like the night sky better.
It's beautiful.
It's cold.
It frees.
Fan of the night
Now that
I see you clearly
My eyes are
fixated on you,

My arms are reaching out
Towards you,

Listen closely
My voice is whispering
To you,

Your desire
Is my command
        Your wow
            Is my vow,

Baby
Let me catch you
          Before you fall
