Children
Having a child is a gift
Raising them is not
Just another reminder
You dont always get what you wish for
How you wish
No matter the outcome

Path
searching,
Trying to find the path ,
already embarking on
knowing not which way to take
All to know is to journey forward
No matter the direction
Once bitten twice shy
deceiver impartially
Seeking shade from the sun star gazing
shiver at thy future
And cringe constantly
Bursting out with a sprint to start this race
Only to find out its a marathon to walk
This is a different kind of race, one not man-made
But for the human race
Where the race continues even when one wins
settle for consolation prizes , not knowing the real prize
a character exercise if to guess
Nice to meet  fellow travellers
how to greet lately
hope will be the first to aid
aim for the heart
Try to pump oxygen to the brain
And breathe life to the soul
So as to live a full life on the road
Those who already know the way, please shed light
searching,
Trying to find the path
already embarking on
Knowing not which way to take
foolish trying to find wisdom
blindsighted trying to see the light
Attempted at knowledge through intelligence
knowing not to do with when  the destination is reached
trading tools for the path none knows
Lonely amongst people, singular in plural
In sight of no referee nor coach,
The organiser bears the responsibility
Participation should not cease

(Weight)
I may be light in weight but I carry this heavy-weight on my shoulders
It's no-one else's responsibility but my own
So I own up to it and not call it a burden
This weight is to weigh my own strength and characteristics
So I should never let it weigh me down
And even learn to let go of unnecesity
As long as I live I grow stronger
To pain I am no stranger I am just not yet it's master
Even weight-lifting does not get rid of this weight off my shoulders
So I think through this experience and realize I have wisdom to gain
And also learnt to be a good sport
As I enjoy rugby than American-football
I acknowledge the ball is in my court
And so should have the ***** to court success (triumph and victory and conquer)
They say it's not over until the fat-lady sings
I have yet seen fat-ladies crossing marathon finishing-lines
Shoulders are between the head and the chest
So it's only natural that I find myself inbetween logic and emotion
Be the strength when I have none
Have nerves-of-steel during a nervous-breakdown
They say opposites attract and still am searching for the natural opposite of gravitational-force
And try to force it to elevate me to levitation
As this weight does not give me the leisure to wait
It's better bearable when I am in motion
Maybe it would be better if I weighed like a bear
Sometimes I cannot even bare hugs with aggression of intolerance
It's a lemon-flavoured honey taste to swallow
As sometimes I wish I was free as swallows
Even caged birds sing
To sing the freedom song you need to break-out of the cage
To break-out of the cage you need the wisdom of will and strength
And so a healthy mind needs a healthy body
As this weight also weighs emotionally and mentally

Thought (Thot) process
I praise the creater for thought (Thot)
I try to use the present of the gift,
Rather than understand ( overstand) it
There are alot of thoughts i find myself processing
Some thoughts i strive for reality,
Some thoughts i dont mind if they dont come to life
During the thought process in my mind, body and soul
Some thoughts pass through my mental machinery with the speed of light,
Some are sent to storage for later processing (use)

Either exhaling them

Conterpart (Count-apart)
On our very first encounter, part of me already believed i had found my counterpart.
Part of me was still, sceptical of this new development.
Countless hours passed us by in happiness,
Even forgot we had to depart.
My mind's eye seeing us infront of a pastor and congregation.
The only departure will be us together in heaven.
Not a single cloud in sight yet i was on cloud-nine feeling like im dancing in the summer-rain.
A beautiful summer evening where stars are in full attendence to witness the spectacle of the moon's spotlight.
What happens in darkness shall come to light.
In the darkness of my deepest depths i was wishing to spend the rest of my days with you.
We were still shy to shine in the shrine,
So i touched you, you held me.
You smiled, i kissed you.
Communication was non-verbal,
What the feeling was doing to us could not be described in words.
My eardrums could hear the signal your heart was beaming in beating.
It was an eclypse of the moon by the sun.
Was as if the Creator themself said,
Let there be light tonight in your heart for a brighter tommorrow.
With no space between us,
Time was still.
But still the distance was getting shorter for you and me to go home,
As i had met you on your way home and offered some company to accompany you.
When the dreaded thought of departure crossed my mind's traffic pathways,
It coincided with the reality of our journey's end.
Even cupid could not show prophets of our end.
We shared a sample taste of pleasure, not meant to be a feast.
Apart without contacts of communication,
Now all i am left with is to count the time and space between us.

Oh,Please!
These eyes are for seeing nature ,
Not to stare at into your soul
So please!
These hands are for working,
Not to hold your hand
So please!
These arms are for lifting
Not to cuddle
So please!
These feet are for transportation
Not for scrolling in parks
So please!
The heart is for pumping blood
And nothing else
So please!
The mind is for thot
Not for your memories
So please!
These ears are to hear wisdom
Not your baggage
So please!
Genetiles are used for reproduction
Not for making love
So please!
These teeth are for chewing
Not to be smiling at you
So please!
These lips are for talking
Not to be kissing you
So please!
This tongue is for tasting
And nothing else
So please!
None of my senses could sense you slipping through my fingers, and sensing the danger ahead
Its common sense that what doesnt **** you makes you stronger

How can i put it in words
How can i put it in words the disgust i have of the atrocities that we do in this world,
That words cannot describe

How can i put it words what i cannot explain

How can i put it in words the feeling that feeling makes me feel

How can i put it in words the judgement i judge myself to humble myself from the judgement of others

How can i put it in words that i see in colour and in darkness

How can i put it in words the spiritual connection i have with the creator and mother-nature

How can i put it in words the disappointment i have in myself and in people

How can i put it in words the faith and belief i have

How can i put it in words the love and the opposite i have

How can i put it in words the vision of hope i have for my offspring,
For  the next generation offspring all

How can i put it in words the respect i have for words and numbers

How can i put it in words the importance of numbers by the creator and creation

How can i put it words that i have no regard for time, to be on time is honour a pre-agreed word,
With the timing of numbers
And at this time these words are an attempt of expression

Afterlife
What is afterlife
OR is it just a void where living is not existent after death
Is it parallel to the life we are living
Is it opposite to the life we are living
I know it is beyond our control,
But what about our grasp
If the future is today's actions
Then if there is life afterlife, what kind of future would be better lived
If life is non-existant in a void in the afterlife,
Then why do we have such a strong belief
That we even create in our imagination vision of a world living,
With life different to the current life
Sometimes we are afraid
Sometimes we are yearning
All the time we are having this constant belief
All the time we agree of afterlife being spiritual
Then what is life,
Spiritual or physical or mental or emotional
That we need even to consider life after
Then why even consider afterlife if we are already living
Than to believe we are transcending with death
Why do we believe that there is another-life,
That we will live worse or better

La Continua
Continue to finish what you have started.
Do not contemplate,
'Cause contemplation brings contempt when overdue,
Because due to the fact that a pile becomes a load, a load becomes a ton
Therefore overload

(Non) incomplete anything means unreached potential. Then questions arise ,
What if, what not
Doubt reaches the shores
Doubt can be a stop than go

The process begins with the thought of an idea,Continues to be an action,
Ends by being a benefit

Things happen by being done

(IM)Patience Thoughts
I know listening is a skill,
But is it the same with patience ?
Can patience be acquired ?
OR are you born patient?
Does it come with growth ?
OR does it come with genetics ?
I ask 'cause I cannot seem to grasp it's existence
Perhaps if I can do abit of patience training,
Then I can master it like a skill
Maybe it needs to be worked on as talent
I don't know if it has any significance OR
It is just a delay in time
Timing dating coincidence, moment dating time
I can't even figure-out if it's a need OR want
I can't even tell the difference between waiting and (being) patient

Can't wait to shun these thoughts when it's my turn

Despair
The feeling of despair, makes one feel impaired
Stuck, in the repetition of questioning rationalisation
Should I have dared to inflict more care
To what satisfaction is my ignorance
Inflated despair causes desperation, to my realisation

When sense makes no sense
When one's world is upside-down
When there is conflict between interest and intention and action
That's when despair we meet

Feeling loss of control
Forgetting, not everything is in your control
Faith broken with no hope of repair
Internal conflicting with external

I dare say being despair is feutal
As we grow we learn the wisdom that life is eternal
Life experience of experience occurs even unintentional
Emotions are there until they are there no more
The logical healing of despair is the beauty of life
Hear the heat these words hit ,
Knockout ignorance
Aim was not verbal nor emotional nor mental abuse,
Just renaissance
Trying to open thy mind,
Key to sloth is comfortability  
Have alot of belief in the creator,
And second chances
Yet  reluctant to give any chances,
Thinking its all advances for  desires
Then its not like  distrust ,
But just cant trust ,
Thats the issues, arising many other
Cant take chances to and fro trust
Thats the crust of this crux
Move past the past coz its in the past,
And appreciate with anticipation the gift of the present to-day, even at night
So that  future be better brighter than the last previous
Its not that  are not a creative that  cant visualise words,
Just prefer to entertain own visions of self  envisage,
Creating an image, a metaverse pictured in  hindsight, medulla stored
Seeing believing,
Yet  dont trust  to see actions,
And actions seen,
Is there difference between the two,
(As) / (Like) me and you, us and we
Between trust and belief
Its tough when its rough but the roughness creates toughness
Its dandy-rough like dandruff on thy head and thy shoulders
As i told last lifetime, i will tell in the next lifetime,love
There are many Davids out there, so i dont need to be acting like Goliath, joking around

Tis what tell thyself when mirroring
thoughts with actions
A marriage of mirage

(Attempt to hit two birds with one hank,
It takes one shot to shoot the shot)

A mental reflection of on manifestation

Seedling
A planted seedling such is life
Under the heft of the soil
Darkness from the sun
Feeling earth the burden
Yearning for photosynthesis
To breakthrough
The beginning of new life
Striving Underground
Does not mean theres no growth
All this work is not seen by thyself even
By the time it shows , its rooted
Roots bare the stem
Harvest born from experience

So young yet so old as i
I may be a wild plant  but I pollinated you
You have my intellect
I have your wisdom
Such an old spirit
How can i foresake the gods,
Knowing they have channeled you through me
Destiny is pre-destined
Thus called gift of the present
You may love me,
I must love you
You and i have a bond stronger than telepathy
If i complete this cycle of life then such is life
Fact is you are the future,
Noone wants an imbalanced one
I didnt nurture you so nurture yourself like i had to do just like you

Spiritual dry-cleaner
I have come to know, church,
As an image dry-cleaner albeit a spiritual-purifier
Religiously purchasing blessings,
With belief,  bribing-out from  sins, with tithe
Paying no faith to its relevance in heaven

Outfit
Fit out of this world,
Its a fit trying to fit in
I outfit even truckfit
Tonnes of fitness
I dont even fit the description
Just by association they fit me
This society wants me to be befitting
But they cant fit my shoes
They trying me with the fitness test
Im not an equation i dont have to prove anything
Not to mention fashion outfits when i robe traditional  
I dont fit even the circumference of bounderies
My company is a feat

Apple Tree
We used to be Adam and Eve
(Under an apple tree)
Now im just Isaac Newton
(With the pull of gravity alone)

You were the first meal i had when i woke up,
Not that you were the apple of my eye
Its the most important meal of the day
Fast is not how we moved until day- break
And was health too
Not coz of the exercises
But the apples and pears, bananas and watermelon
You were the kind type but your patience was (burning paper) slowly burning out like typek
You dont like the shade of my apple tree no more
I dont mean to compare apples and oranges but its like rotten peach, overripe

Your feeling used to levitate me,
The knowledge of you feels like burden(biden) weighing on me

Shorecase-Showcase
Waved in my shores,
By a sea of manifestation to be seen
With tap dancing shoes,
Waltzed in like a sandstorm
And  it teared  out my eyes with joy
It was an hour mark on my sandy heart
Sensational fragility like an hourglass
Your pearls unlocked my fortress shell
Like a showcase,
Now you a case on my nerves with your stinking-stinging-stunts
The nutshell is you have me  nuts
Draining every protein of my fibre
Theatre tricks, using emotions as props
Which is variety of improper
Demanding audience, producing plays with your drama
I feel you slipping through my fingers like a soapie
I guess you meant it when you said you selling fish, i thought it was a self-pit parade

Stop flexing powers you dont have,
Nay play, with me in your palms
You might lose me
Our untie might be by your own hand, with our hopes crushed
A thousand broken pieces is untidy
Even emotionally and mentally
If we were to add up a tally

Phases
I may not be wise,
But nothing phases me nomore
You may love me today, and hate me tommorow
That dont phase me
You may be loyal today and betray me tommorow
Nothing phases me anymore
You may be a friend today , an enemy tommorow
I am not phased by that
Blood may be thicker today and water-under-the-bridge tomorrow
That still doesnt phase me
Even loss does not phase nomore

Faithfully betrayed
I always betrayed disloyalty for honor,
Always strived to be faithful,
Didnt know i was faithful to those who would betray,
Who am i to judge, having betrayed myself for others
There was no contract for guarantees for return of investment
Investment of time and emotion
All in the name of trust faithfully
How could it be prevented , as thats better than cure,
What is the remedy
Could it be avoided
Ofcourse it has made me stronger,
Made me wiser
Could it be kharma of the feeling of the broken promises
I hope my faith in loyalty does not suffer diminishing returns
No that i fear independence , a loner
Sometimes there is strength in numbers,
And the weakest link is the consequence of the chain of command,
Instinct of alfa dominance
Piquant by confidence of pride

ECONOMY
The South African,
And even at large the continental economy,
Is rough on bankers and economists alike,
It has become a hub for capitalist business,
Corrupt politicians sharing the spoils,
Coffers not safe
Left-overs given to criminals
And the crumbs for the citizens
Each party in cylo even in cylos
Even race has lost the race to poverty
The runner-up being unemployment
Local investment is not even in the race
People have lost their ability to govern their patience
Essentially the economy is ungovernable by policies
It has become artificially influenced by patterns and trends,
By globalisation
With the only investment being foreign
Whilst local resources and labour
Are being exploited
Even the world bank is alarmed by the 80/20 wealth proportionality ratio
Its all about economies of scale ,
Margins and bottomlines
Sometimes even tax is not profiting
Debt has captured even the debt-collectors,
And tax-practioners alike
Making it difficult even to debit creditors
Black-economic-empowerment struggling to break-even,
Making it a loss trajectory
Entertainment industry booming whilst tourism is strough
No recovery from fraud
Crime at its peak
The economy is reflecting its health status that there is no adequate intensive care,
And no unity,
Even in classes by educational wealth
Imports does not produce exports
Not to mention the ports-system
Cant even afford to pay attention to service delivery
Subsidy housing erected everyday,
And yet there is no adequate infrastructure
It is a tendering system
Informal industry petitioning to be formalised
Whilst formal sector is behaving informally
The supreme housing of policy we knew as the parliament has become
A magic circus
The show sold to the highest bidder
Whilst the reserve bank has a weak bladder
So many loopholes in the system,  
In constitution the economy has no scapegoat,
The agricultural industry is not alive,
Development is banked
When we do a post-honourous dissection,
We see natural disasters instead of manmade causes
I think i have found a solution to gbv (gender based violence),
Anyone convicted of it should be given to soccer players to practise penalty shootout for 90 minutes and plus 67 minutes on Madiba day with their *****,
( a million petitions should allow it to be signed into law)

Why was McCathy's secret ingredient to being one of the best,
He used the Benny spice

I think i know why soccer is round,
And why men like kicking it so much,
Its what they wish to do to each other
I mean theres a centre ,
And the centre is round
And its where the kickoff starts
So that everyone would be square with each other
Why would we need reserves if we there just to play,
The reserves are there to carry back home those who cant walk it out
But you know everyone has to has their turn

OR maybe even football was actually invented by women,
To destress and defrustrate,
So they created this object with the shape of a head , but soft enough to be kickeable,
And they drew a blank face, with beard and mustache,
So they can imagine it as their husband,
So when their husband were out hunting or working,
They would be kicking around with satisfaction with this feeling of imagination,
The penalty kick, with the Goalkeeper,
Sounds like the ****** kick
Or women created football for activity of fitness for when their husbands came back from their duties and it would be a equally healthy groovy time,
But you know how authoritarian men are,
They came back early one time, and made this discovery , the secret of women,
And they said a place of a woman is indoors,
And so they started to experiment with it and started to enjoy,
And took it over

Why does a football team have 11 players,
The coach learned from what one of the disciples did
And they always bench judas

The only way i get over a heartbreak easily,
Is immediately after the heartbreak i tell myself,
As long as the Creator is still not a woman, then im still on the winning team

Why is there a goal keeper in the team or what is their role ,
Is to keep reminding their teammates the goal of the game, is to win

Why is the field of play called the pitch,
The game is the presentation of the gym or practice ,
In front of the audience called spectators (supporters), maybe fans, to cool down the nerves of the participants

I see Gaza
Let me show you Sudan
Maybe you will see the whole world
The bigger empathy picture
With these words im not fighting for attention, least not sympathy
I feel like if we zoom-in on each piece of the puzzle,
We may never finish the photo-album
Which is which,
And if you dont know,
Which is which,
Dont go on a which hunt

And if you dont know,

Disciple
If you decypher the word,
'disciple' ,
You will find it comes from 'discipline',
So its all-so about discipline

Hope and patience are intertwined,
If you dont have patience with yourself then something is off-balanced
If not yet then it will be soon

If you dont have patience with yourself,
Then who do you expect to,
If you are expecting (then you have to be patient on someone else to make due for you)
Something is already off-balanced

If you have patience with yourself,
Then you know that you are going to achieve yourself at the precise moment (when opportunity meets preparation)
Rather than expecting, its as if you are guaranteeing yourself of achievement
Guarantees bring hope,
Wherever theres hope, theres a will,
Wherever theres a will theres a way

Amusing pain
Its funny how you still hurt me ,
Even when we no longer together
Like the other day when we saw each other on the street,
I greeted and you treated me like an alien

The pain of laughing at your jokes, alone
That this was the best that was and will ever be ,
As the book has reached its end

The ending of pain,
Or atleast thats what we thought it would be

This is not me creating a chapter for you ,
In this new scribe im authoring
But the feeling was real as the one i felt the other recent day
When you alienated even the memory of me,
Was like none of the memories were worth even remembering or storing
Not to mention the emotion behind it
As this is my hindsight thought

From my perspective i would like to thank you for the experience,
I have a lot of content for this new book im writing,
Called happiness from love,
I hope you are enjoy your own artistry and
I hope we are parallel

When the past and the present stare at each other,
The future is left unattended
A tug of war inside
Cant really pin point the pressure point,
But its at boiling point
But the road map leads to interest and belief
Leading to  askewed aspirations  
Can religion be disregarded for spirituality
Can one enjoy wealth amongst this poverty
Where is the border between self and people
What can be done than what can be said
Revolutionarily   or diplomatically
A healthy mind in a healthy body, so theres none there
Should none of what people say matter
Does when and where really matter if theres a why
Maybe this is just a frustration of pieces not coming together
Maybe i am downplaying me
Is family unconditional or unconditional only applies to family
With tomorrow not promised and the present being the future,
Can i really only live for once
When does the student really become the master if they are unmastered
We lesson from mistakes,
But how can one be sure of correct corrections if every result is unprecedented and cannot be measured
Why is there karma for revenge ,
And no karma for forgiveness
If theres any karma than naturally complete cycle of every season
Detached from politicians and politics,
Yet abiding by the constitution and its policies,
And voting
All this begins when i journey to find my path to my purpose
I still want materialistic at the cost of the planet
Knowing what you waiting for, but not knowing for how long

Push to start
I used to ignite you
You felt me at every turn you made
Every itch, (stretch of every scratch)
Every whisper
Elbow to elbow
You kept on pushing, maybe shoving
Until you pushed me further than close
Thats how you now feel
Im not yet gone , (thats how its real)
At arms length, still armstrong
Headstrong  not heartfelt
To feel me you have to reach out,
And speak out ( thoughts of emotions)
Hearing your silence,
Yearning your actions
I never thought i would be watching your palms albeit  holding them
I hold  the thought of them,
And how they made me feel
Yes i still do feel ( even  untouched)
Now you imagine in your engine,
That you have pushed me to start a new life   ( without you in the drivers seat)
