Reflections of illusions

Boiling water
Emotional turbulence
Excuses for every evidence
Clumsy nature leaves human to be distance

Emergency telling the truth is Accident
Follow mistakes of instructions my patient
Crafts is always astray
Please rethink your way
Trudge is always emerging

Take  caution
Mirror  reflect character in depiction
Truth or dare, lies has its own portion
Angels are demos from the same composition
Double standard
Fear is coward
Perfection  and Freedom is common fantasy
Like God above the galaxy
Commitment is equals to jealousy


Written by Kabelo Mthembu

When you die  I want to carry you
Through the lines of tears

And lift you up
On the wings you gave me

There are no oceans but yours
There is no music but your voice

And every day I can hear them well

When you die I want to die with you
And live forever
In the heaven you made

When I was eighteen I wrote “The Bedrock”
In which I said
The Priority is to Survive.
But I’m sixty three now,
And that’s not enough.
It’s not all about Me, so
It’s time to decide
What is Good.

Well, my friend
All Life is Good.
Every living thing.
From enormous whale
To spiteful wasp,
Bacteria
To Ecosystem.

Yet some beings must be extra-cherished:
Those that are conscious,
Sentient and smart.

Intelligence as such is there to be nurtured
And knowledge learnt.
So too wisdom,
But above all
Love.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you:
A great old saying.
Be a Humanist indeed,
But better still,
A Lifist
Who Loves Life.

All else follows on from what I’ve just said.
Go figure.
