Silence is loud

 

Vocals are deadly silent

Truth remains un-spoken

Utterances depict lies

Story telling goes to the biggest liars.

One more time

The people shall cross the x on paper

Yet still remain trapped in their lives’ silence

I am coming home

 

I am coming home

Coming out to my Africa

In the rain

In the sun

With the wind

I am winding in Africa

My home,

my Africa

 

I have had my share of darkness

Today I will step for Africa

I will sing for my hope

Today I am home

I shall rise

Ooh,

I shall rise

 

See me now

Know me now

I am an African child

I am home

Home with hope

Let me be

I am,

I will be

I am home

 

For all seasons I shall season

All days I will find my delight

I shall rise

With hope I shall rise

I my home I will rise

I am home

Coming home to be home

I am Africa

I shall rise

Smile me with you

 

Smile with you

 

I want to be happy

You got to be happy too

You are the smile of the world

So am I, we all are

We are the smile of the earth

 

Remember not to hurt me

I want to remember your smile

Give me hope

Together we can share our home

I want to remember your miles

With millions smiles

 You paint me

 

Your smile painting my face with light

Your soothing words bless my heart

Your leave light shining in my hut

With you by my side, I am all alive         

 

Do frown not your face for me

Shed no tear in my name

I would drown in your tears

Your heart is my home dear

 

I forgot how to be happy without your joy

You the engine of my soul, my joy

Smile my love I will shine your love

Even in shackles, my heart desires only you

 

Paint me like your dearest wall

With your heart, declare me the masterpiece

I shall abide by the move of your hands

I am yours to carry me brighter days.

 Man up to a blessing

 

Besides all locks and shackles

Halls, boarders and constituencies

Rise to your duties

Rise

Rise like you rose on the night

This time rise on your feet

With your fist in an eternal battle

Fatherly battle against all odds

 

Lay off the excuse

You were not invited the holy second

Seek know invite to your holy duties

Remember the night you saw your seed

Bless it with responsibility that a man should be

No excuse is good enough

Rise for the offspring’s of your divine hunger

 

Shake your body like you did before

Be a blessing you are designed to be

Never mind your pocket

Take time to be a blessing you are.

Times are changing

 You could have been panther

Tiger or cheetah some time in life

Look down carefully

Roar with care

Listen to the sound of your voice, tiger

Careful with the spear

Hands don’t shake by themselves

Beware what the night-lights tell you

The shadow in the eyes

Talks to your instinct

Listen panther before you jump the street

Careful it might be a very huge bridge

 

Sing, yesterday a panther I was

Careful the brawl you stand for

Wisdom is the friend of time

Time is changing, the fresh of yester year

Is the forgotten memory today

 

Careful tiger

African scales are changing

The mud of yesterday is the rock of today

Rivers have turned to footpath

Panther sniff with care the rise of a new day

Slow down mountains are rescaling

The morning is here a new day is born.

 

Down across edges in all side

I have been down  across edges in all sides,
Smiled when I shouldn't  and laughed to keep at ease.
Lost my senses in search of my soul's comfort.
Like a Sun sliding a distance round in circle I kept going.
Going till the going fealt still, static and stagnating
The enjine in me whines like a hungry child
The melody in me feels no rhythm of lies anymore
All temporary matters begin to shed their skins like snakes in winter
It's all empty now...
The time can't  lie anymore
Byebye my yesterday.
