Our flesh will be left behind

The earth will open its jaws

And ruthlessly swallow

Our remains

 

When we leave this world

The inheritance we leave

Behind will be spent carelessly

By our loved ones because they

Couldn’t care less

 

When we leave this world

Some will cry, some will weep

While others rejoice and

Celebrate our departure

When we leave this world

All the pride we have will disappear

Like water in a dessert

 

When we leave this world

Who will guide our spirits

And show them the right way

To heaven

 

When we leave this world

Will GOD welcome us

Or his angels will kick us

Back to earth because

Deserve to burn in hell

 

When we leave this world

Do we get a second chance

Are we allowed to mend our errors

Or ‘kuzokuthiwa uzenzile

Akalilelwa’?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LET LOVE FIND YOU

 

Let love find you

Don’t be everywhere like

A headless chicken

Because your heart will

Be broken

 

Let love find you

Don’t be everywhere like

Leopard spots

Because you will end up

Alone and drinking a lot of tots

 

Let love find you

Don’t be everywhere like

A lost soul

It is true, love is food

For the soul

 

Real love will always find us

Without intervention

And love potion

Because love  is not

A competition

 

 

Real love will always find us

We just need to be patient

Because real love is permanent

 

I AM A MAN AND I CRY

 

They say a man does not cry

But I cry like an orphan

They say a man does not cry

But I cry like a new born

 

I am a man and I cry

But I do not cry because

I am weak and seek attention

I do not cry because I am less

Of a man and I’m afraid of

Life challenges

 

I cry because I feel pain

I cry because I do not want to

Deny myself freedom of expression

I cry because everything I touch

Burns to ashes

I cry because I have lost the only

People who seemed to care

I am a man and I cry
