Online posts ,
Not the post office
Emails,
Not the post office
Courier services at our door step,
Drones with deliveries,
New applications called "Apps"
Even put santa clause out of business
Not the post office
Ordering online with payments online
Paper trailing the postmaster office
With no cash injection
Why stand in line when you can checkout
Video calls and skype
Not one for the hype, office of the post
People are working from home,
Still battling with retrenchment and unemployment
Surviving debt-review and business-rescue and budget-cuts
This life also needs adjustments to adaptation,
Post occurances to befit currents
Like cold war office, post world war
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)
Qiniseka
Ngokuqinisekileyo
Uqhawule amaqhina
Uwonyuke amaqhina
Uqengqeleke kwamanye amaqhina
Uzoqina
Uqaqambe ubeliqina
Kuyenzeka ukuqhatheka
Qiniseka
Ufunde ubungqina
Ufune amangqina
Konke kuyagqitha
Konke awunokugqiba
Kuyaqaqanjelwa
Kuyaqaqanjeliswa
Qina ngokuqiniseka
Yithi gqolo ngokuqhama
Uqhamise iziqhamo eziqaqambileyo
Uboqaphela
Uziqoqoshe
Nabanye ubaqoqoshe
Xa simanyene siqinile
Isiqhelo siyayoyisa ingqondo
Qala ngezokuqala kuqala
Xa uqalile gqiba
Xa ugqibile qala
Konke ukwenze ngokuqiniseka

You dont quit until you quit life,
You dont call it quits,
You dont call it at all
You just drop the line dead
Noone knows the deadline,
So be your own lifeline
I find it funny that this moment i'm thinking about love
How its been a minute since i've known love
How i would give a minute of my time
To feel a moment of love
How i will give my whole lifetime to be love
It is amusing to reminisce that i gave a minute of remiss to love when love was around
Now in this present reminiscence of the past,
I'm hoping for a future remitted with love
Seven-th day

Huff, Puff,
And blow-away
On this joint-venture
All wolf in sheep furr
In pursuit of
Cloud-nine
Creation's Creator
What is a sacrifice ?
Does it have to cost ?
Does it have to be mutually beneficial ?
Does it have to be beneficial at all ?
Why do we do sacrifices ?
Is a sacrifice a need or want ?
A question from the mind
A question for the soul
Sacrelegious making sacrifices
It is the body which will act on the sacrificial choices and bear the sacrificial sequences
Mind, Body, Soul being equal, full circle
Some make sacrifices under the night full circle, full moon
Some make sacrifices under the day full circle, the sun
There are many sacrifices we do subconsciously
Yet consciously don't recognise are sacrifices
And visa versa
In Economics , opportunity cost
In life , choices
Traditionally , rituals
Religiously , religion
All men, Omen, Amen
It is said you cannot receive a litre of milk in your cup if your cup is half a litre full of water
Im no edge, nor edgy
But im sharp like a razor edge
And i am on the edge
With my hedge on,
Im no short-circurt surge
Might feel under siege, might seem like a purge
Wants all the courage,
Needs to discourage this purgatory merge
And a new dawn emerge
Rawbust/Robust
Like im busting rhymes
Although im no "busta with no rhymes"
Cause i burst hymes
Bursting ghost-writter bubbles,
Like the shakespeare bubble,
You can call me " ghost-writter buster"
Sanity in a sanctioned sanctuary
Tell you what about religion
Its just a scapegoat
We cant accept the fact that we are not Angels
We have to shift the blame to some other entity
We cant accept the fact that we dont have discipline
We have to look to the man above for guidance
That we have to look towards the after life
What about this current
We have to believe in redemption as opposed to being our own saviours
Religion and Heaven dont exist, tell yourself that
Even hell
Then what is life after death, nothing
Its all going down here
And if we need wealth to enter the afterlife, what then
Whatever we believe is in the afterlife is already here and now , is what im saying
I have subsribed to being a scribe.
Scribble rapture with my scripture,
Scripture to free and capture.
Fertilising manure to mature,
Scribe on scriber.
Secrets
Are they worth our memory Storage
Is it still a secret if you share
With another
Being secretive
Is it being dishonest
Why keep secrets
Is it fear
Is it love
Is it protection
Or the true reason
Is even hidden from the keeper
What I know is
Secrets can destroy
Secrets can build
What I don't know is
Do we want secrets
Do we need secrets
Why do we limit honesty
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
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
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.
Is it only as black as widow ?
Can it be white as snow ?
Lingering, as a question i do not know.
What i do know, there is an existance called shadow.
We can see the shadow in all senses,
Especially the sixth sense.
Does it have any significance ?
Does it have a purpose ?
Is its existance coincidence ?
Can it be exhibited as evidence ?
Is it there, even when we dont see it in sight of light ?
Does it always have to be a physical appearance ?
Can we not have mental shadows, logically lingering.
Can we not have shadows of the soul, emotionally lingering.
Physically, as natural as creation.
Consciencely, as natural as creation.
Consciously, as natural as creation.
Perhaps, reflecting the resemblance of life in other dimmentional realms in dimmentional angles.
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
If "action speaks louder than words",
Then why are you bothering me with communication ?!.
I know, you may feel communication is mis-represented here, miscommunication.
But now , we missing the action part of it
Are we suppossed to be speaking it or acting it ?
Suppossing, that speaking is actually an action as opposed to silence.
Then, when does silence actually speak volumes ?!
Well, given that the truth is actually spoken rather than actually being acted,
I dont know the relation between truth and feeling.
The truth is, what really matters is the volumes of the true feeling.
We can believe what we hear,
We can believe what we see.
Truth is knowing,
Truth is believing.
Because what we know to believe is conception,
Conception is reality.
Born out of sin
Even the fact we are born ,
Is a scene
Every action is a sin
Even thought
And emotion
Then how is redemption ?!
Tossing and turning
Turning and tossing thoughts
Turning rest into work
Working on resting
But in an attempt to rest
I rest unsure
Will this be another late night
Will this be another sleepless night
Tonight is the night
I decide
Am I a difficult sleeper
Am I an insomniac
A restless thought
Why am I even fussing
Over sleep
I guess
I will have to turn to other
Alternatives
Like meditating
While im still contemplating
I know
I will sleep through my errands
Do I even wake up
If I never slept
While I'm awake
I contemplate
Do I need to sleep to rest
Tis like living in a cube.
Such is the life of solitude.
May have something to do with the mood of attitude,
Maybe aptitude.
Tis neither negetive nor positive
Crisis defies it.
Meditation requires  it.
At birth, we are born solo.
Even twins have singular-individual intervals at birth.
The life we live is individually-singularly solo.
At death, tis a personal departure.
Some of us have made solitude a culture,
However there being no culture in solitude.
As i recall cupid.
When in solitude some of us are mistaken to be stupid,
I guess a magnitude of attitude is requested for one not be lonely when alone.
In solitude many have claimed to achieve self-realisation and greatness,
Perhaps this dimensional cube is to resolve mystery or create new ones.
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
I steam, i blow, i toot
Chuckling, huffing, puffing
Fire inside me
Hot as burning coal
Over parallel rails, i ride
Through dark tunnels, i ride
Under ramping bridges, i ride
Chuckling
I steam, i blow, i toot
Carrying generations inside me
Trusted with delivery
Fulfiling my natural responsibility
Knowing
Failure brings devastating outcome
Satisfact of service is the only reward
Time is not a factor than the destination
Fire burning inside me
Heat supply like burning coal
Energy is not a matter
Heat is what i thrive by
Delivering masses to the masses is my nature
Operations fulfiled by the nature of the steam train
I don't know if I am safer
I don't know if I am in danger
Me to know you, I am more eager
You are not a crowd pleaser
With you I have pleasure
Though you are still a stranger
Your conversations, I feel like a teenager
With you I feel less strange
I see you more weird
Your conversations, I feel more wiser
You are older, I am younger
Such an accommodater
Such a leader
Such a teacher
Such an entertainer
A doer not a preacher
But a lover not a fighter
Its so strange

#Heritage_day
M (me)
P (pain)

M: Pain does hurt more than some times.

P : Dont blame me, i'm here to help.

M: Help ?!

P: No pain, no gain. Remember ?!
Hey, what dont **** you, makes you stronger.

M: Do you like, aim for the '****' , then settle for hurt ?

P: Lol. Case in point. There is humour in me.
You tell , brave stories of honour, through me. Pride.
What the hell ?! Careers have been established because of me. ******-analyse that. And take a chill-pill.

M: So you take 'pride' from / at what you do to people ?

P : Wouldnt you ? If you were achieving excelllence in what you were intended for, your mission.
By the way, people stop thinking you are the center of attention, by that i mean 'universe' .

M : whats your relation, relativeness (so to speak ), to / with time ? Now that you are here and all, i figured i should use this chance.

P : Pain and time, are siblings (if i may), are colleagues, 'in business together'  (if you like).
They are both in the 'same' mission but on 'different' missions .

M : And what is that mission ?

P : You will have to figure that out by yourself.

Make it your mission, if you like.

M: What is your cause ( course) , your purpose ?

P : I am because i am

M : What does that mean ?

P : Time will tell and lead you the answer to that.

M : Why do you have to be so elaborate and delibarate ?

P : For point of 'emphasis' .

Hey, you people are stubborn.
Besides, competition with my siblings is very stiff.

M : siblings ?!

P : Yeah siblings, love, joy, happiness, peace, and all, you know. Pride.
I dont have time for them all at once.

M : Yeah ?! But you are the bully.

P : its all in the mind. Matter of perspective.
Do i not arise from your judge-mentality ? Your judgementalism towards each other.
I mean, think about it.

M : Yes. Because of your trickery so as your ' will be done' .

P : Quite the contrary. I too, arise from cause and effect. It is ( i am) done by your will.
I am just, a 'guiding reminder' for and from decisions and actions.
Let me direct your angle from another perspective ;
I leave for closure and from closure comes healing and from healing the learning continues.

M : Do not get smarty clever with me.

P : Its the ignorance thats paining, really.

M : I am willing to ignore you, any time of day.

P : Try ignoring life and see what your life will be.

Besides, i could still come at night.
M : Its because of your dark ways, you lurking in the shadows.

P : Its because of you lacking to escape your shadows.
You should lighten up.

I do appologise for the ill deed but this will is in appreciation of my friends deed
The sun rises, the sun sets
Inbetween its rays is distance measured by time
At times we experience life's seasons at the sametime
Sometimes we experience being the living dead
Alive outside , dead inside
Challenging the grim reaper to a battle of life with death being the prize
Hindsight buzzing with afterlife never seen
Whilst eyesight is blind to the beauty of life
All this global warming does not do me warmth inside still
The addrenelin of the moonlight send chills down my spine
Pees pease of the same pod in a poor ***
Wanting piece of the pie when i dont even understand the pie-chart
Pyramids, Pisces, pirates, pastors, paradox
From dawn to dusk to dawn
New age of the new era is an old saying,
Because there nothing new under the sun,
Even an eclypse
Days to weeks,  to months, to years, to decades, to centuries, to millennium
The sun sets, the sun rises
With confusion
As to why blood hates blood
Is it not suppose to be thicker than water
Istead of flowing like water to the drain
Those genetics
Water down the drain
Memories
Water under the bridge
Bridges between planets
Is heaven another planet
Heaven's will does not seem to be done on earth
What kind of heritage does that culture
I am sure
Definately
This is it
I have liked hearts
I have liked minds
I have liked bodies
I have liked personalities
I know this is it
Not grammar
Not spelling
Wording of words
I love what they do
I love how they do
I love why they do
I love when the do
I even know who, Me
Either inhaling them
Either exhaling them
Wording of words
Poetry
Tales
Stories
History
Thesis
Conversations
Verses
Al­l I love
And that is it

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)
Just keep on to the beaches ,no matter what seasons
You never know when tides might change
Theres high tides, theres low tides
Just know what type of observer you are,
Are you a surfer,
Or a swimmer
Dont mind if seas or oceans
The mission is one
And you are the only participant

Causing seizure in the scenery,
Cause i seize my opportunity for the greenery
Rejecting scrutiny,
You sow what to reap,
People acting like grim-reapers ,
Even the grim-reaper is in danger
With this evolution adventure
People seeking immortality
Through cloning and spirituality then proving it scientifically neverminding it naturally as long as we are advancing technologically

Tell tales tentalising testicles and genetiles, guts and bone-morrow
Humidity intimidating humility
If sight be unseen of signs, sound not heard hearing echoeing
Turbulance in balanced emotion tilting logic can still be felt

Can enable ability
Increase chances of productivity
Community not united in poverty
Starvation of philosophical thought critically
I hope this verse in writting is not a waste of time, however , I cannot stop taking time to hoping in thought what would we get reversing time
I kwow we should be moving forward, like the wings of time, however, do we take the time to spread our wings or do we just hope our wings spread with time
Emit is time reversed, meaning "send out light "
Which brings me back to the concern, that we no longer make the time to enlighten each other
Thats in the past
Istead we say time is money, chasing money doing things wasting our time
Istead of enlightening each other
Ngoko lwazi lwam, ngokwe zimvo zam
Akhomntu uthanda umthetho
Ngoba womke umntu uziva ngathi akakwazi kuziphatha ngokwakhe, ngathi akana mthetho
Umntu uziva ngathi uhluthwa amandla akhe
Kodwa, kwelinye icala
Umthetho ubalulekile
Umthetho uthulisa impixano
Ukhona oyena mthetho ungundoqo
Umthetho ka Mdali
Umthetho we Ndalo
LooMthetho luThando
UThando lokuthanda abanye
UThando lokuzithanda
UThando olunyulu, uThando olunzulu
UThando luxando lokwenza
UThando luxando lokwenziwa
UThando luxando lokwenzana
Into endiyaziyo kukuba lomthetho sivumelana ngawo sonke
Intonayo asiwazi sonke
Umanyano emthethweni woThando yindyebo yobomi naphakade
God loves me, I love God
My family loves me, I love my family
My friends love me, I love my friends
Mother-Nature loves me , I love Mother-Nature
Maruana loves me, I love Maruana
I hate the fact that I disrespect that love with lust
Knowledge cannot be wisdom
Knowledge can be wisdom
We like to be knowledgeable yet not knowing, is what we know worth being knowledgeable of
It is wise to know how to extract wisdom from knowledge
Like AB-Soul, I look down I look up and left right (do you know of him? )
We have the knowing of left to right
But do we have the wisdom to come right ?
From experience comes knowledge,
From knowledge comes wisdom
Who says knowledge cannot be wisdom ?
Are they interdependent like a butterfly to a cancoon ?
Are they interrelated like sight and speexh
We may not know the answer?
But the answer would be wise to know the difference between wisdom and knowledge
Are we even wise to question the knowledege ?
Ndivuka uzingcinga
Ndilala ndiyakucinga
Nditsho namaphupha
Ndiyakuthanda
Noba awukho secaleni kwam
Uhlala uhleli nam
Nditsho nakwi ncoko zam
Ulubhabho lwam, ulubambo lwam
Ngaphandle kwakho, intliziyo yam isisighubhu
Xa ndinawe, intliziyi yam itsho amagubu
Izandi eziviwa phezulu emazulwini
Igida kushukume abaphantsi
UThando lwakho lundonyusa ndiphantsi
Lamazwi akayonyani, lamazwi angqina inyani
Inyani luThando, ubungqina luThando lwethu
InTando yakhe mayenziwe emhlabeni njengoko isenziwa emazulwini
(Ngoba ebunyanisweni andikwazi ukuyichaza indlela endikuthanda ngayo, abubungqina bendlela endiziva ngayo ).
I been taking a jab in my mental,
About the jab that is being jabbed.
Being jabbed of the so-called cure, of the so-called pandemic.
Prevention is better than cure.
I guess,
The mental juggles,
How do we cure the cure ?
I ask,
Because we are not being jabbed with information about the cure,
Only the physical.
I guess,
The medical shuns the constitutional.
What is health to the laws of nature ?
What is our DNA nature to the future ?
We say we are thinking about the future.
I ask,
Are we really thinking about the future ?
I say,
Let us ask nature.
The very nature of our existance.
We cannot ask the future generation,
We can only think for them.
A picture can say a thousand words
Words can paint a vivid picture
I try to see and paint a bigger picture
But become blinded by meaningless words
How can something so meaningful become so senseless
How can something so senseless become so meaningful
We fail to understand each other yet we talk to each other
We fail to see each other yet we look at each other
We fail to feel each other yet we touch each other
We lose ourselves trying to find ourselves
Could it be true or not ?
The more things change, the more they stay the same
One man's pain is another's pleasure ?
One man's discomfort is another's comfort ?
Could this be the balance of nature ?
Answers are not answers at times
Answers sometimes are just answers
At times answers can be decitful
Time does reveal answers
Many times some answers are not what we want to receive
And so happens, we needed to receive that answer
At times some answers can provoke action
Some answers are just provoking their own honesty
Some say Love is the answer
Sometimes we need more time to answer some questions
Talking at times can add solution to the answer
Silence at times is its own answer
Action at times is the answer and adds value and trust to the answer
I mean have we not verbalised the saying, "The answer lies in the question " ?
#Ihopethistimethisanswersit
Having certain realisations
Leading to certain visualisations
Caught inbetween
It takes patience
It takes action
I wonder
Are we all heading the same destination
Life, i imagine
Is like sailing in the ocean
Not knowing your location
But with maps and compases, are certain to persue your direction
So be certain to encounter waves, tides, sea-storms
Its all part of the mission
The lesson
Its not what its costing
Its what you gaining
Hasitation , patience
Action , timing
Logic, feeling, emotion
Listening, observing
What is this chef life serving
Sea- food or see- food
Crab in the bucket effect
How this captain sailing
Forward or roundabout
The ship does not only anchor on arrival
The sheep do not only graze on pastures
Is it about the answers or is it about the message
Hoping for safe passage
While we overload baggage
Which creates *******
Did we prepare the voyage of emergency
Precaution is one of lifes currency
For forward i see like a profecy
Greener pastures i seek
My realisations leading to certain visualisations
