she is a devil within
she is one of hells gifts
to our mother earth
coz she has no worth
she is a devil...

she lied to me
broke a promise
she'll never be forgiven
she is a back stabber
she cant be trusted
if you look at her
youll see that she is a devil within

shes got black eyes
with black nails
she has no life
so she'll always fail

she's conceited
loves dark colours
I dont know why
she is family

coz she is a devil
a devil
a devil
within...
as you can see that this poem is dedicated to a family memeber of mine. she kinda deceived me and it made me feel sad and detached.  but we eventually  made up and b l a h...

A simple romance began
On a saturday
You sent a text, with hearts
And said you loved me

I was shocked at what you said
That it left me speechless
And I answered simply
"I Love You Too" see?

Yeah, it was a teenage year
And I was so smitten
But I always feared
What lies were written
In your texts you sent me

It was a simple romance
I'm doing the best that I can
To keep this thing going
I was a mature man
And to keep a secret
From others to know it
A simple romance

For the few weeks
We went out
It felt like we were
Outta this world

And yeah it was awkward
To try to keep it a secret
I tried my hardest
But I guess it didn't work out

And then one day
I still thought
You loved me
Instead an boy
Who claiam
Is outta this world

I guess I was stupid
To think I could hold it
You don't call and
Say we're through
But...

I have moved on
I'm over you
I've moved on
Ever since we're through
I've moved on
I don't need you
I've moved on

It was a stupid romance
I tried my best I can
Instead, a simple romance
This was the first fell in love...
Didn't end up going well...

Dreams are dreamt
Through calm sleep
These dreams are kept
A secret from those who'll destroy it

But these dreams
Turn into realities
And I think we should
Keep on dreaming

Coz dreams are dreamt
For us to believe
Yeah dreams are dreamt
For us to achieve
Dreams are what we make it seem
What we make of it
Is how we succeed at it

The days go on and on
Some make it seem so long
But is it as long as it seems?
Maybe yes, it depends on me

Dreams are what keeps us going on
And to have those goals gets us along
At least we can try our best
Let's put ourselves to the test

But then, certain days
I feel sad
So I try to remember
The dreams I had
Some I might still have
Some lost in my mind
So I remember
How to feel, glad
How to dream

Coz dreams are dreamt
Through you and me
Once we piece it
We can see
What it feels like
To **DreaM
Don't you feel like taking a snooze right now? I sure do.

In the big and blue
Are people swimming
With watershoes
Transparence is the colour hue
Of this ocean

It has waves of many sizes
Rock and sand as well
Shoals of fish that swim
Together in vast numbers so swell!

There is a cycle
That cannot forfeit
To be broken
Or destroyed yet

There's yet so much to discover
But our stubborness overpowers
Many tropicals
Many corals
So much to see

In the big and blue
What lies at the depths of it
Is still a mystery
Even if we search and search
We won't find what we're looking for

But what are we looking for?
Why are we looking for this?

The sky is like a person
And the sea like a mirror
To discover the skys true beauty
It uses the sea's reflection

Making this water
Either blue or green
The sky beautifies
The magnificent sea

There are fantasies
Oh so wonderful dreams
They make us believe
That's it's not what it seems

They hypnotize, cover up
But the beauties
Are amongst us

In the big and blue
Are animals of many kinds
There are waves
That will break
On the sand
There are rocks
That and homes
Fish and plant

In the big and blue
You'll find colours so true
It's like a rainbow
Underwater now!

There were times
When whites were right
There were times
When we had to fight

Our independance is important
There were those who died for it

Do you remember those different wars?
We fought until we could no more
We were being rearranged around to suit their needs
Why are we listening?

Freedom!
I wanna have freedom
Coz I can do what I like
And go where I like
Without being restricted

Freedom!
That is the sound
Of our kingdom
Peace and quiet
From here to there
From near to everywhere

Liberty!
We hanna have
Fraternity!
Well have
Equality!
Let us all be free
Freedom!
Let's my heart beat faster
It helps my mind at ease
We should try and give
To our kids
Our wish
My wish
Is for us to have
**FREEDOM!!!!
As you can see, this is linked to my other poem FREEDOM!!! Lol!

Years of torture
Years of pain
Years of crying
With no gain
So many that died
So many that tried
Theuy saved us all
In the end
Leaving opposers
Speechless

But a day came
When a man came
Outta prison
Then that day came
When those in vain
Stepped aside
Away from us

Freedom is inside
Freedom is outside
Our land is doing fine
We have been colonized
In the end, they say we'll die
Those oppressors
Say we'll see our time
We deny and say we're true
Our History
States our fights too

Our battles
Our struggles
Our depression
Our recession
Our reconcilliation

There was a time
When colours mattered
I'm here to say
That we're past it
People line up all the way
They hope they'll get it
They know they'll get it
To say their say
To pledge a vote
To choose a suitor
To lead us to victory!
This is another that goes to Madiba and South africa for all their sacrifices and hard dilligent work they've committed!
