Silence extends time.
Could I be the unopened package holding the dreams of others? Is it mine now, or will someone later come and claim it?
 Sep 2023 Emmanuel Phakathi
Grace
wings beat fast a song
in the undertones of wind,
be mine forever?
It does not have to make sense,
If it arouses feelings and senses,
If you are sane about it,
Then it is sensational
It does not have to be exceptional ,
Except when it has your acceptance and appreciation.
You dont have to sense riches about it,
If it comes from the depths of your being,
And reaches the depths of another being,
Then it is wealthy.
Success may adorn
your Universe,
like Stars.
But it's your
Beautiful Mind,
that sparkles
your Personality.

Sad
My own people say that all of my sadness I’ve feigned, but what you feel inside often is very hard to explain, and now I’ve become accustomed to the dark clouds, the pellets of frozen rain, the dryness of the cold winds that has burned my face, do I ever want the storm to abate.
the good life is a state of mind
relax a while see what you find
when you get the feeling right
you could be anywhere
from exotic lands
to your favourite chair
We are every bit as worthless
As the dirt is
But it grows
We just impose
And peddle
Influential
Genocidal droves
Is all we ever will accomplish
From the reaping
That we sow
Our own destruction seeds
Implanted
In enchantments of a scene
With ease
Entranced
By what askance
Dehumanizes us,
Machines
