Tough Love (Where Were We?)
Kabelo Maverick Jan 2019
…don’t
want to fall in love
I’d rather rise in love…
Send my flaws in
the wind like doves,
My father’s skies engulf…
Stand tall as a Mill
and be tough,
Are my rights
Enough
…?

Hunch Perks
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2019
I get a hunch and start writing something down,
Armageddon grudge starts fighting what’s coming around
It has its perks for what lurks in the rear-view, just hurts coz
Church has a curfew…a time to purge minds and hairdos…
My imagination is my friend, but my emancipation is not a trend
Nay, I listen to my intuition like the voice of God now,
Pray I glisten to fruition, when They hoist the Rod out!

$Money
Kabelo Maverick Jun 2014
This Rock we're daily pushing...sad coz, these norms of justifying wrongs leave some of our Brothers and Sisters mooching. I've seen millions in all currencies, just listening to Humans expressing thoughts and feelings in all summaries. But what's it worth? when on Earth wisdom gets in one ear and out the other like an Oath. I've shaken the hands of time and so far have lived par, getting irritated as the clock ticks...fix some beverage at the bar coz I'm still average and so I pull tar. World matters, endless wars and crimes wall minds and withers, a friend of mine said it's a balance that will always be with us. I agree, but truth is Black homes and poverty was never meant to be indigenous. Economize for the future, the unplanned or foreseen, condomize for the butcher...I hope you're half-man and half-machine. Realize, we're just pawns in a chess game, needing to survive the heat in the fast lane, Materialize!

The Gift and Talent given for free

Pen's ink inspired by Water from the same Source
That's when I think of the Fire that flames the same Cause
The Mind is pricele$$, see the sign: This loose leaf is not for sale
Time is timeless, so read between the lines...
This Book seal is not *'pass or fail'

Soul Searchin'
Kabelo Maverick Feb 2015
What if this life is consequences of our actions in our past life…?
if you believe in that sort of thing…        
Coz if you believe you have a Spirit, then you inevitably believe in reincarnation. And if in this state our weaknesses surpasses our strengths, and our physicality surpasses our spirituality, then it’s safe to say this dimension or frequency we’ve been summoned to, could be purgatory or God forbid…Hell.

Everything.
Kabelo Maverick May 2014
No breath, no heartbeat, inside dreams we tend to feel infant and vivid. The great fall or fairy ***, bite tongue and taste the blood...we people flood limits. Hearts spin, No... Love spins at times we crush our own doves like hard twins. Anticipate the future, big dreams, true being...I'm marching loyal with all, I look back to secure, and 'true scenes' short keys to insert and free the mental. The flesh gets raggedy and within cash trades shortcomings, gradually we getting thin. Newspapers now reads child mates goat, politicians come live now to fake votes. Grown foods to feed us, you...touch your soil for mankind, neither do I wish to view a grown foetus. Water is no longer priceless, a bottled value, go ahead your highness...sparkle freedom and add a flavour. Nothing can reciprocate the Life of Lakes, Trees and Landscapes, it seems as we move forth the noisier it gets, Escape? Change needs a push, you can't hide behind the bush. Love, loathe, friends and foes in war when peace come to shove, we call a Truce...And if God's Equation solves the coffins, then I suspect his Creation can solve the orphans etc....

"On"
Kabelo Maverick Feb 2019
Eyes fixed on showbiz
the mind of the people in the “box office
Jinxed to show this...
as it’s not yet time for people of the lost Prophets
Skyscrapers, networks running the sky for the bigger scheme
Life data extracted for hubbing a lie that can **** a seed
Jump on the couch and press ‘On
laugh, but watch who’s the chess pawn?

Who's God...
Kabelo Maverick Mar 2015
I love the profoundness of waking up
not knowing how and why…
The conform of knowing
that no matter how preposterous or uncanny it might seem…
In essence, we just can’t ignore
the fact that there’s *Something out there bigger than us,
and beautifully obsessed about us…

It's funny how the continuum

The master is white,

Can I
Kabelo Maverick Jan 2019
How can I shine?
My city built on a shrine,
tenacity built-in rhyme
My seedlings building time

How can I cry?
When my propensity is a crime
with this integrity in mind...
So much intensity
in my prime

Wow, can I try?

Lodestar
Kabelo Maverick May 2019
Tunnelling through the debris, and humbled by the degree...
I stumble into the Truth and the greed crumbled to the decree.
Reach out and touch somebody’s hand for serendipity?
Teach now or get ****** into someone’s quicksand for showing
sympathy."It comes with the territory", the words of a loner…
"It comes with telling a story", the words of a Lodestar!

Using my arms as my legs
across this bottomless pit
Came too far to beg,
coz’ they’ve forgotten this spit
The old hag, great fall and
rat scratches on the sole of my feet

Oh, what the heck, I’ll recreate all
the bad sketches on the wall of my feat

Lost tooth, the devil loathes across my smile
It costs truth, but level roads

Kabelo Maverick Aug 2014
Old Spirits have a way of touching that kid inside...
As time rusts, Mr. Brown, I know it cuts when things no longer coincide...
I respect your peace, raw and proper,
the way you nurture your trees is moral fibre
Mr Brown, you pray to God to see yet another day, as if awaiting the day  the predator becomes prey
I wish you best blends...we've shared blacks and burned rocks,
I'll miss your best blend
Your aura is never down, even though your former and much older,
Mr. Brown...

Second dream dead
Kabelo Maverick Jul 2014
Seeing my Grandmother still giving unconditional love…
Amazing high waters, I’m still keeping my head above
The body of a beautiful woman floating…
Can’t recall the face of the man boating
His salvation, in the hands of a Man running on water
As I’m showered away in a trance, coming to wake-up
“Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.”

Kabelo Maverick May 2014
First time in the first
No words for those teary eyes that day, scorn at bay
Future Kings already in wars of awes today

I'm a Son without a proud Mother this May
Her day of Birth was a clouded Sun, out of mind yesterday
Guess a good heart can hurt the closest, nay, if the nest's away

yet another soldier incarcerated for possession of nature
Friends pay
Getting calls from another, older
incarcerated in a Man's nature...

"It’s not hard to create, not harder than it is to cremate. Destroy to rebuild, who gave me the right to relate? I’ll deploy the guilt, it’s who lives inside this ribcage. Authority within, Apology missing… Feeling a bit under the weather lately, maybe coz I’m feeling lit about what matters innately. What’s the next poem, where’s my nest home, what’s the last hope? I’m vexed, so let me ask the Pope, are you the best? Nope.  Or should I turn it into a rope and pray? Can’t do that without thinking of the hangings, it hurts so I clear my throat…
nay, can’t do that when you’re sinking from the angering. I’m recluse so I
put my faith on my Refuge piously and conclude. The page is now my deluge and the siren is left confused…

Blessing
Kabelo Maverick Aug 2018
"You’re blessed every second of every day my friend…
We are just blinded by the world’s definition of what a blessing is.
That’s why the revelation is always a shock,
because we have no idea how important we are…
How significant we are, how deserving…our essence, our existence…No blessing has ever been predicted in time…
It’s always in the power of hope and faith.
You’ll know it when it happens…
Remember, it starts with a mere thought to change everything.
If you believe it, trust me…something will give back.
Maybe not today…but it will, because you’ve willed it…"

Poeticians
Kabelo Maverick May 2014
Pumping anger, anticipating Changes but numbing strangers
Give me an answer of healing these Aids cases,
better yet, dumping this Cancer
Hard truth on politicians
no youth is contemplating parliamentary positions
I'll call them poeticians, leading by example is simply being self, core
Freedom like a trapping wall,
closing back doors as we grow and dwell more
A fading word passion, busy laughing at the truth
entertaining the world of fashion
Actually a fading lesson, lets all forget the Roots
celebrating the world of cashing
Inside we're all poeticians
Prone to our desires and waiting for premonitions...
