I CAN (Have faith in me)
Inspired by: YOU
For: The Youth
From the Genesis of my life,
You filled me with false evidence that appeared real on my face.
I tried to change the pace,
But I was young & I hardly knew mission so I lost the race.
You forgot to tell me it was possible,
Or should I say you did it intentionally thinking you’re on top of your game.
To you I will not put the blame.
Because if I do so life will remain the same while I daily pray for change.
Hold on!! Stay with me on my story.
I know it’s been a while and it’s hard for you to say you’re sorry.
SHH!! Take a moment of silence.
Close your eyes and relax your senses,
Never again will I let you take your chances.
Today it’s my day but revenge is not the case.
If you’re still not satisfied you can start the chase.
I’m far ahead of you now I’m the future,
By living the dreams of King Martin Luther.
Keeping my head forward (future) and refer to the past (history).
As I genetically match the D.N.A of Hector Peterson,
I never loose hope, Holly Spirit is my medicine.
You did not believe in me but I will be the first.
I’m not friends with selfishness, so I represent the rest.
If I don’t make it today, I will fight to be the next.
I certainly know I’m related to 1976,
But you must not forget you named me 2009.
I’m not saying this to make you feel bad.
I’m just trying to state the fact that “I CAN”
If you have faith in me I promise to be the “THE BEST”
I am Living

La Motives VS Boundaries
Jeandre & Kayline
La Motives VS Boundaries
A friend of mine
Allocated to this position
But my future was inline
To apply the transition
Thoughts waving thru my mind
Like the wind renders pressure
On the sea have I singed
A warrant of arrest when I met her
Did I allow tomorrow
To dominate my present
Have I compromised to borrow
It the future unknown is much pleasant
I entered her realm first
Astonished by her history
Her speech I rehearsed
And created this poetry
She granted my time
To her valid I was captive
to the public eye this dime
allowed boundaries to be active
signs were being displayed
motives for me were changed
even our interest would parade
and boundaries were pre-arranged
immigration to go over was
declined I felt like a refuge
in my own realm Kaylines border
was crossed so the huge
boundary gates were closed
scattered were my needs
in strength I discovered things that opposed
me so I fed on these seeds
Jeandre searched not for comfort
in beings but in the Holy Ghost
he gives courage to say ‘I’m Fit”
and for these daily events His the Host
For all african children
I’m an African child
Born in Mozambique in the rich soil of mama Africa
I’m an African child who brings hope for the future
I’m an African child
I look at my left side, I see an African child whose
Future is doomed by crime.
I see an African child dying of alcohol, cocaine, drugs,
Marijuana, you name them.
I am an African child
At my right side, I see an African child suffering of rape,
Child abuse, emotional and physical abuse.
I’m an African child
I turn and look in the front, what do I see, hope and prosperity
The positive side of our future, how will this come true
I am an African child
African child commit yourself, say no to crime and HIV/Aids
No to violence
No to abuse and rape
No to prostitution and sex
And say yes to abstainance and education
I am an African child
Therefore I will speak up
I am an African child
My unborn child
I can’t wait to hear the pitter-patter
And titter-tatter
Of little feet upon the floor,
What the sex will be it doesn’t matter.
Whether a boy or girl,
It’s going to fulfill my world.
To just wake up every morning
And know that they’re there
He depends on me
And I know she needs me there.
I just hope God grants me wisdom
To be all I need to be
To be able to provide
All it is they need from me.
No matter what may happen
Where or how the future leads
As long as I have them
They will always have me…

Today is yesterday
Today is yesterday
I shall let the past be bygones
And let the previous inspire my future
Today is yesterday
When I shall extract precious…
…within matrix of disappointments
Today is yesterday
Because yesterday my heart was full of sorrow
But today I rejoice for tomorrow
Today is yesterday
Without Almighty, I was short and saw darkness
But today, the Lord rise me up to see lightness
Today is yesterday…
…yesterday, when all seemed lost
Today, with faith all shall be regained
Today is yesterday
Even during the uncertainty of yesterdays
Today I hear a voice that says to me
…never be afraid to fall
Because you will never lose it all
black knights (as we grow)
Black knights in all stars,
Brothers born for these troubles,
Bleak future but we still dreamers,
Smoke all night and all day,
Trying to push figures,
Dollars and gold diggers
How did this become our plan?
Hope we still formulating a new plan
The world on our own shoulders,
Just in a word we turn into soldiers,
A new world order,
Send us to any war, we will conquer.
Fists fight our way into manhood
Before you realize, you were dying in the same hood.
Most of us are lost in this mentality.
We dreaming of being infertile,
Shooting blanks and true rhythms,
Settling for material things,
Even if she offers us Utopia
We still will cheat on her.
When will stop?
Foetus thoughts caught in twisted umbilical cords,
Our mics’ are stuck on weed,
That’s why when we gather, we stay high.
We just black knights in all stars,
We still dream of being super stars,
But we stuck in a world of violence,
Definition of mankind’s intolerance.
Escape to our world filled with no silent words.
Hide with us, as we grow into ur hearts.
Believe in my escape……..
Inside my heart
You are like a rose under an angel's nose
I feel your majestic strides of hope parade in peace
I hear your voice singing high pitched tunes
muffled by the sound of the mumbling ocean under the bridge
In a single moment of brilliance,
with absolute quiescence,
and every piece of my mind in peace
I witness the soft palm of your hand healing
the gaping wounds of emotion inside my heart.
Then I decide that, today, not tomorrow,
inside my heart you shall stay until your last breath
That, inside my heart there shall be you and no one else.
The drips of sweat from your lethargic soul
dilate the stubborn rigid veins of joy in my wounded heart.
Your task is to mattle a solid platform for our seeds to grow.
You are to mould this cold front of disgraceful sins from the past
and mask it into warm memories for the future.
Let the cells in my blood invade your dignified pride,
let them migrate inside for us to be one.
Paint the inside of my heart with strength and belief
for wisdom to blossom on the outside.
Keep my affect manic, and
let me drown in this fountain of hilarious mood.
Because today, not tomorrow, I decide
that inside my heart you shall stay until your last breath.
Inside my heart there shall be you and no one else,
inside my heart, inside my heart.
The man
A flowery song more
dulcent than my rhyme
A driver's oxen who rushed before me
while his less treasure he doth store.
He never wanted to cloth a flock
'cause a real man bears a huge rock
and play his flute beneath a privet
and when there's war,he'd not take a vat
He heard a woman playin' rhapsodies
Only his red liver like blood saved him less
And his heart could not care less
and so the rumbling sweet of melodies
The man who never shod
when going to shebeen,
who doesn't shine in pride,
but shells his future to a sheen.
for his horse allows him to ride.
the hero lies in you
when the road has been too long
when you have been done for too long
do not fear for the future is near
when they have labelled you
and they start calling you names
do not be sadened for they did not make you
and god will stand by you
when you are laying sick in your death bed
and your only wish is to gather enough strenght to say a word
look inside you and you will see
you will see that the past would have not been the same without you
you will see that today was changed because of you
you will see that the sun will not rise tommorow
the rain will not rain without you
in you lies the future
in you lies the solutions
the hero lies in you
