Surreal
Kabelo Maverick Apr 2018
Mazes, jigsaw puzzles
Perils of snakes and ladders
Amazing, as I jinx all troubles
and devils with the sage of my letters
Eat dust or catch the gingerbread man
Jesus made me a catch, fisher of dead men
A kaleidoscope life rippling to a point of decipherment
Climb the *****, thrive flipping like the poise of Spiderman
No special case, just immortal and complex
So essential, this trait of my moral compass

Sneaking with Old timers
I ride the back of the truck...

Cheeky with Oppenheimer

A smart old spark
Pops was that fashion
And his smart old car

Space, Forever the same
Sage is never ashamed
I’ve sat under that tree-bound semi shade
Mad like thunder, being low down ***** shame
Apples fell, I was blinded by Cain
Ample bells, never minded the pain
Chapels or Hells?

Enigma
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2018
Poignancy of nature drawing in
Man, Fish or Herbivore
The point they can’t see
Of a stranger crawling in:  
San, ***** or Holy War…?
Metamorphosis explodes

Matter emphasis exposed…
The latter transforms, Black!!

Comes with the Territory
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2018
Misunderstood like an opal
I come back to the hood hopeful
Maverick’s too good and boastful,
pushing up this death cloud with my shoulders
wish you could hear how my breath sounds, my soldiers
Crying rain tears, I’m the weatherman or perhaps
the gravity and reality of loss also. Trying to prevail fear for the
Betterment of this perplexed hypocrisy and vanity of course,
Not So?

Street omnipotence, tough
Only the heart can heed its importance enough
There you had Glory, a King named Lesane
The Story of a stick up kid, famed insane…

You reminded me of my Weaknesses
Unapologetically bold, not afraid whether
Or not people witnessed it.
Even though the family resented you
I always knew the Man in me cemented you
The stain to a modern graffiti
The pain of the fallen, the needy...

Your radiant Smile numbs, really
It’s what I call Loyalty.
I’ll be patient like the river Nile
to see You, Moms and Vivi,
until my roll call to Royalty

Love.

Swear, Sincere
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2018
Never really cared
about my name, big deal
It’s always been air
about my grain, Big Seal

Sometimes I feel like
I gave birth to this World
Sublime I fill, that’s why
I pay worth to this Word

Lost siblings and then some
Blood, Sweat and Tears
I caught feelings and penned some,
But swear sincere…

the floor
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2018
A hungry Lion,
makes an angry Zion
fear God’s Iron
like the bed you lie on
The struggle we pray on
is the trouble we crayon
Now, we call each other dude
Forgot our chores, to clean
Our Mother’s stoep
…and then you wonder why
you miss the Door?
‘Coz you blunder and
forget to kiss the floor

Blind Fury
Kabelo Maverick Feb 2018
Fool’s fury like a fuse,
ignites the well inventory
Careful, I’m fuming my muse,
I might just tell the infant story
Burned and banned, pages mistaken for gambit
Learn about a Man whose sage is taken for granted
Desires so inspired sometimes the eyes go fiery
He denies it all inside, sometimes the tides go feisty
Surreal catastrophes when this young man’s
resilience’ pushed to the limit
Real Atrocities haunt him more than the
villains of Kush and Kemet  
3 witches align his life like Macbeth,
3 wishes grind his knife, it spikes backpack.

Faith for the bathing ape
Case of caging the ape
I heard they even have it on tape
It hurts...this evil habit of ****
forget God, all I wanna do is escape
I get a job from a Man holding a banner, wearing a cape
He asks, “do you believe in faith?”
I’m masked, *“…do you see my face??”

Harmony
Kabelo Maverick Feb 2018
The stairs to this tower…
I climb like playing the cords of harmony
Stare at this power of rhyme,
like the pain and thought
between my Mom and me

a Drop of a coin and it’s hard to bring
I’m a drop of the soil with a Heart made of string
No Musician, no Entertainer…
Life’s not wrapped in ribbons
Just precision, no ignoramus lines rapped
Good riddance!

Omnipotence
Kabelo Maverick Feb 2018
Mind operating on godly pressure
I pick up mine liberating for thoughtly pleasures
Soul toils this space like lost treasure
They told me the soil days are coming for lost leisure
Ink runs through my page, like blood through my veins
Writer’s block is just imprisonment of the brain
Riders lock the rust impediments with a chain
Rail that prism belt, stream of consciousness like a train
Hail the ism felt, and steal the curtainless veil and bail

I will not break
I will not bow
What’s wrong with being great?
Make them ask how?

I will not take
I’d rather give
I build and bake
What would, if my father lived

I will not fake
That would be a mistake
Coz I have a conscious about fate

I’d better have faith
Someone screams, “But God is dead”
cautious about the cream and cherry
red on this *Cake…

Gravity of Gandhi
Kabelo Maverick Aug 2017
I love Gandhi like gravity
No matter how much I elevate
He always reminds me
to kiss the floor

...And remember God...

Real talk, I don’t fully stand behind
Passive Resistance
because sometimes it takes a monster to defeat a monster…
I’m a student of my own school of thought
and I’m timid to the limit
of what I would do for the things I love…
If push comes to shove, there’s no telling
the reflex trigger of my index finger...
But my spirit resonates to that of Gandhi


*"There are people in the world
so hungry that God cannot
appear to them except
in the form of Bread."
-Mahatma Gandhi

We seldom mention the good times

Because we have no idea the sacrifice

My blood will spill on this very soil
And fruit the new Garden of Eden in my honor

I am the course of history
My Weaknesses are my Strengths
I will live as a Martyr,
and die as a Messiah...
I am the Church of Maverick.

Merry Jane, SA.
Kabelo Maverick Apr 2017
I love you girl,
just want you to know
I always believed in you
never abandoned you
never had a doubt
in my mind about you

Even when they called you Crazy
and locked you up
like a savage
I still remained blazing
and talked about you
like a message

I remember when they
ridiculed you,
high and goofy
green coz your Love
Is beautiful and kinda groovy

I owe my
mental horizons to you
my senses from red to green
I love you
I awe you like
the sun rising
They said I was dead
But now I can breathe
Thank God I found you.

Open sesame,
grant passes to all and hail the King of hypocrites
Omens sense me,
plan the masses like Hellboy the grail of things opposite

Play the field, to be cruel is to be kind, man…
I paid the bill, so be good to be mine then
Judas kiss was a diss…Jesusness was bliss
That’s why I kiss both cheeks

I’m on guard, take the World it’s yours
What kind of God saves the World with laws??

My thought process never really got around this...
How I could not profess to latter, the feelings for a goddess profoundest. From genesis you willed the cycle of life like Mother Nature, even though it grew to be your nemesis, you still recycled time to mother a stranger. Pincushioned by Love once…no twice, the repercussions of a chronic illness costs an arm and a leg. Pushing love once, no dice, but sneaking cousins call it weakness and so they come and beg. Polaroid picture of a vintage flower you are, keeps shining through the darker lens...Paranoid feature, a linkage to my late Father’s cool car, keeps driving to Wonderland. Ma, I’ll always admire your strategy of war, patience is virtue. How you always lit the fire of synergy and lore, I’m your patent statue. Inhale coz out of breath, resuscitated late being paid, or realised the thorn of this lifeless hell.
Derailed and out of depth, an eviscerated state of being, as I laid my eyes upon her lifeless shell. Hide eternal gears, moving aerial still…shots coming fly under. I cried internal tears during the burial...
the deal is shortcomings lie under. Best say it real, they tried to **** us both Eyes and Toes. Hence, I break the deal coz God sealed us both like Ice and Stone. Nefertiti won the game of thrones now, name me king!! Never guilty, walk, aim, overthrow the beast now, Angels sing!!
