Taetso Tshegofatso Makutu

His loneliness
Is of a man
Betrayed by the world
Of happiness

Widowed by broken love
He's scattered
Into the land
Of sorrow and pain

It being a windy season
With dust and misery
The winds blow
His direction

Tears dried out
By unending pain
His cry
Is of a lion
loud and full of anger
But no tears

With pride being his weakness,
He pretends to be strong
But deep down
Weak and torn*

WARNING

Careful

You are about to read
Very dangerous words

Push continue
At your own risk

Evil people live among us
Wickedness is everywhere
Death is inevitable
Life isn't always fair

But the real danger
Is the breach of trust
Buy a friend or by
Someone you love

So you best beware
Of the danger of trust
When the chains that bind us
Start to rust

When the mask of safety
Shatters into lies
Oh how dangerously
We trusted the people
In our lives
...

lost

surrounded by an energy
I can't quite understand
"No trespassers allowed"
don't think you know that..
Whatever it took..
Keep reading
this blank-paged book
I can't for the life of me
Figure out why
Them not you..
No cosmic sense
No cannons for those walls..
Perhaps I was all wrong
But you never were..

I love to look at you,
Trying to read those eyes
For signs of truth you bear alone

I think

You got lost trying to find meaning
I got lost trying to find "life"
You liked being lost..
And I, well....
I was lost.

What A Waste

You've got so much passion, I see it in your eyes. You just don't know where to place it.

You've been looking for that special place; that place where you belong without even trying to. You're ready to leave, you've mustered all the courage you need, you just don't know where that place is.

***** to stay stuck, huh?
