my humble apology
i have got a heart as heavy as the moon
my heart beat is a rhythm of ancient warriors
i feel the tears of slaves
whose righteous price has never been paid
the blood streaming into rivers and ocean
from the human sacrifice that was never sacred
in the so called brand new day
the sky is still blue and I still feel the pinch of yester year
i can feel the rhythm of miners digging cullinan II
while the queen smiles and embrace the African stone
the wealth and wellness of mzansi
pouched by the passing voices of the wild wild west
the major rape of mother Africa
filthy stinking hands poking and pouching
the bare private parts of lady Africa
and like a sodomized angel
she was left to give birth to starving babies
and fighting guerrillas
waging metal gods designed by demons
the African blood flows
for diamond, for a piece of land
for the right to peace
democracy and cracy demonstrations
the blood still flows even in a brand new day
…flows
…blood
the un-healing scars of our times.

AFRICAN BLUES
Another Farmer
Thereby the hot sunny southern sun
The farmer toil the land
In the fertile womb of the earth
Farmer Hofmeyr toils the land
Madam Botes bites her share
The two and many others
Sow the seed
Planting what many fought to rid off our land
For decades of blood sweat and tears
Sowing the seed of racism
In words prophetic of tribal segregation
Sounds of barbaric philosophies
The scholars of apartheid
Breathing to life
The monster we stood as a nation against
Breathing to life the spirit of division
With their vulgar thoughts
They tint the beautiful image
Of our southern comfort
Bringing home discomfort
Sowing the seed of hate
In times when the world
Yearn for peace and love
When the global village preaches
Peace and harmony
Choosing to forget
The one side of the coin they spinning
They forget the injustice
In their eyes white becomes angelic
Black demonic
One track mind
One sided thoughts
Vulgar thoughts
Preached by the weak
Who so much want to believe
That they are above the rest
Above reproach
But until our prisons are free of whites
We might as well believe
We are the same…

Political Truth
Two words almost clashes
Tongue gets slippery
Tongue gets rolling
Words spoken like religion
Repeated like a prayer
Sworn like it’s the velvet truth
This service words
Spoken by wealth hunters
Hunting for popularity
Preaching policies
Making promises publicly
Making threats privately
Polished speeches
Makes preachers envy
Tongue turning sorrow
Into hope, making tomorrow
Seem brighter and this
My friend this
This is the Political Truth
It fades like paint drying
Like pictures in the dark
What once was ain’t no more
Politically it is still a success
Buttering their own bread in both side
They rewrite their empty promises
Presents them as full delivery
Convincing the masses that
It ain’t the same any more
Convincing the masses that it would get better
Definitely it does, but for who
So they start penning down blames
Gathering those they can point at
As they continue to feed the nation with
The political truth,
But what is the Political truth you ask,
Joe thinks it’s the flashy presidential ride,
The blue light convoy,
Hotel lifestyle
Hot air life style
Whore ass life style
Political what?
The international trips
Mining rights and wrongs
Big deals in china,
Sorry meant to say for your chana
Elevaton of own images
on posters and walls
seeking fame like a pop-star
the luxury
the fame
the women
and the men too for the women’
exchenge of favors
making sure mzansi continue to belong
to the elite few
while the rest
squatter at the feet of success
with no hope for tomorrow
except for when tomorrow is election day
and the nation is pregnant with hope
only to give birth to the next
still born “Freedom”
Political truth
Is the question mark
On why there is more resolutions
Than actions…
On why employments figures are shocking
In such a big successful country
It’s the why hospitals are feared
The why school kids are raped in school yards
The why our nation is constantly on strike
The why are the fat cats getting fatter and fatter
While the masses gets finer and finer
Dizzier and dizzier
Blue light convoy…
Another, mp?
Oh, it’s the cop
Where is my bribe wallet?
This is the political liar!!
Crying no more…
sometimes it is a choice
especially when tears are simply
free falling water streams
pushed out by
deceptive thoughts
artistic emotions
devious intentions
conspiring minds
when the tongue tells a lie
and the tale is received
by an audience of haters
whose appetite feeds on
another man’s downfall
or presumed weakness
cruel critics of life
the I told you saw “crew”
playing with water
playing the mental game
holding hostage with only
emotions and water streams
digging a hole for a fellow
calling it business as usual
and hoping the audience will believe
the one and only one told side of a story!!
Taking a stroll out of my mind
I took a stroll out of my mind
To think insane thoughts of the toll of life
Reaching deep for private motivation
In this life where inspiration seem negative
Where the positive seem to be
Only positive about being negative
My thinking feet becomes heavier
The pursue of goodness and greatness
Diminishes in the world full of greedy lust
Lust that turns dreams to dust
Tears to mud, tender touches to murder
A stroll out of my mind
Left me mindlessly fearing dreams
Wishing I had wings
To help me fly across the world
In search of internal, eternal peace
But being the simple mortal my body aches
As my heart ponder, what’s the purpose of life,
What is the livelihood of a thought?
Is it just random pictures strolling in our minds?
Is there purpose to all of this?
and so, I started walking back into my mind
Wondering weather I should continue
Spending each day as its predecessor
Or maybe I should chase dreams
Desire only the finest and immaculate
Or should I take to the preaching of the moon
Be humbled by fine weathers
Maybe beam in the gloom of life
So I stepped back into my mind.
That Man
That Man…
…if he says he love you
And you say “You do too”
Hope you don’t mean
“You love yourself too”
…if he says he will die for you
You smile and kiss him
Hope you don’t wish he actually do
…if he ask for your hand in marriage
“What is mine is yours…”
and you cry
Let them be true, innocent tears
…when he says,
“I put my life in your hands”
Be gentle and don’t squeeze it out
Of his body with your actions and doing
…if he fart and say I am sorry
And you say you forgive him
Let it go and forget
Don’t keep kicking the dog when it’s down
Even if it is only just your dog.
That Man,
…if he speaks gently and kind to you
If he speaks to your soul
Somehow makes you wet with desires
“and” you know he is all you want, cherish him
And if you say you love him
Maybe just let him know
Beware of words sometimes they are hallow
So speak gently with your actions
And let him know
After all He is just a man
And what does a man know!
Falling stars
when true stars fall on the surface of the earth,
they leave a mark that for years will amuse human nature
while the impact of a crashing star is actually devastating
for those around when the catastrophic event occur
the eternal mark of this phenomena remain precious
to those who will come to inherit as years go by.
but human stars falling,
make envious people smile as they fall
and the bottom to which they land on
bears no damage, danger or pain
but only pain to the butt they land on
when human stars fall,
the only thing that glitter and burns
is the flash light of the camera
as the news’s hawks collect the remains
mocking of a career or life gone wrong
falling stars…
while shooting stars spread their glowing colors
in the fast passing historic moment
there are those you wait anxious
for the time in space when they hit their landing gear
but we all are stars,
with the flaming life that should spark above the rest once in time
then slowly diminish out of side
or crash out of life…
and weather you are waiting and laughing at others
you sure are too running out of time
glow like a miracle, and when you crash
crash like a star,
when you fade,
don’t go down like a candle in the light
fade like a midnight star,
fade like the milky-way just before dawn.
Magical keys and chords
This one is to all great fingers
Taping guitar strings to make
Soul full taps and harmonic sounds
Wrapping memories
Creating heavens in unusual spaces
To angelic voices soothing our ears
While massaging our thoughts
Stimulating our minds
Beautiful moments in awkward times
Gentle howling of strings
As the Godly fingers slowly tussle
Them one by one, conducting
That healing melody
Soothing emotional scars with sound therapy
I thank you for the music
Thank you for the immaculate sounds
Rhythmic heroes whose heart beats
Beat in the hearts of the nation
Who’s soothing hands defeated guns
Who’s taping feet sends the world dancing
Maestros of sounds
Masters chefs to our ears appetite
Those who feed us in style
Makers of dreams and memories
I thank you
Be a super star
Or even mama and papa
Or mother and father
To your brothers and sisters
And every of your special person
Be a super star
Let them remember your name
Like an icon of substance
Let them admire you
Like a spark of a miracle
This little audience ain’t hard to please
Drop a line when least expected
Cut the crap and remember home
And just be there for no reason
Even when your least expected
Most of all don’t sleep
Without saying goodnight
Be a superstar, make a show
And make them laugh
After all they love you too
Be the man, be the starring
And feature in their lives
After all the script is yours to write
Be a super star, be a somebody

When You Let Me Down
When You Let Me Down
My heart cracks,
some cracks will heal
others will become scars
a permanent reminder
that not all is well
that this ain’t perfect
like aging walls
the cracks open way
for unwanted inhabitants
to penetrate through
messing this special thing
making me weak
making me no more meek
fragments or our fragile hearts
keeps our bodies going one more steps
but how long can this wreckage
withstand the withering weather
when you let me down
and maybe because I deserve it
think of the dust that will never settle
think of the ache that may never heal
and if you and I are to share tomorrow
will you survive the rough of my tears
the storm that my heart will brew
will you survive?
When you let me down
and maybe I am no better man
maybe I too let you down
will this cutting and biting
make any of us better
or are we drowning
in the dungeon of our mistakes
where we can’t escape our pity emotions
when I let you down
think of when you let me down
maybe forgive my short sight
maybe forgive my imperfections
maybe this way we both will heal
i believe
i believe in the silver line,
that behind every tarnishing storm
there is some calamity and greatness
that man are not all lost
and that where there is a way
there is a navigator
and that alligators can be avoided
that we are not void
i believe in sunshine
and blue skies
that all pain is temporary
i believe we are here for a reason
i believe that each and every one of us
is an entity and embodiment
of life and God’s will
i believe………
Free "DOM" fight us
they fight for mineral rights
for tenders and grants
feeding millions with illusions
as they rise on the corporate
snakes and ladder
using acquired roles
to rule the masses
while slowly
stealing millions
making head lines
harassing the media
for the head line
once more
using state power
to inject pain
to the butt of their critics
using millions to elude the masses
gradually they have grown
untouchable
untameable
unspeakable
free “dom” fight us
this minority of intellects
undermines the intellect
of the masses,
hence all the mess,
all the merciless acts
barbaric tactics
that enriches the few
while they continue to attend
lobal conference on hunger in Africa
with their hot bellies
they spread word
on how Africa suffers
yet they are the bottle neck
of wealth distribution
they redirect what belongs to the masses
to their own smaller masses
or may I say, messes.
Free “dom” fight us
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Terror succumbed to tenders
while frying us with their lies
They crossed boarders fighting for freedom of the human race
Fleeing from their homes hopping for better tomorrow
The nation lifting them high singing their slogans
Fighting their battle from within the beast’s womb
in time the feast of immoral minds crashed
Freedom like an orphan born to families of my land
Born to be raised, born to be fed, born to be appreciated
Ecstasy as songs of jubilation cuts through my African sky
Gradually we became different
As we advanced freedom Africa dreamt of
we stray away from the core of our very existence
Now in the wake of a new day
The day of terror is once more dawning
This time comrades are backstabbing each other
With fork and knifes on their queue to feasting
From a meal they should be dishing out to their nation.
Firing and hiring are orders of the new day
Friends become colleagues and subordinates
It is payback time...
Tenders falling like manna only to specific hands
Those that can properly spell the word “CHIEF”
While applying that specific hand shake,
Yes you got it, the million Rands handshake
That is always awarded as the term is prematurely terminated
as originally intended...
the nation looks on
with much disbelief but very little comprehension
the masters of the game continues securing rights
it is the time...
...the time
for tenders to succumb to terrorists.
Never mind the submission of whatalula commission
The mission is simple, freedom fighters are feasting
after all they have been hungry for so long,
otherwise we couldn’t be here...
Remember the injustice
remember the pain
lest we forget
they will teach us lies
tell my native tales
with foreign utterances
confusing my children
while using my parents
lest we forget
Let’s all forgive them
forget not the story
teach the children
to love one another
no matter the colour
the future is theirs
don’t take it away
don’t destroy tomorrow today
so remember tomorrow today
take care of tomorrow today
rivers are running dry
let your tears run dry too
but remember the pitfalls
and teach the children
to walk safer
to talk safer
and to fear less
stand up upright man
stand for your victory
don’t look away
as it fades away
strike hard at the persisting enemies
don’t fear the evil man
upright man, stand tall
stand firm
and shake the devils feet
shake the downpressor man
stand firm
for children born without a say
whose legal rights is defended by fools
in presence of the righteous man
whose self-righteous belief
makes him just another fool
walk tall
for my native spirits
defend the forgotten
tell their tales
to man of oceans
and rivers and mountains far and near
tell the tales of yesterday
affirm the position of my native society
in today’s infested social debates
be the one who shall preserve the face of humanity
in this blood sucking, money hungry
selfish times…
…remember tomorrow today
stand firm and fight
for the freedom of the “Nation”
teach values to set minds free
let my children know that
“I” without “U”
is incomplete
hold another ones arm
and affirm brotherhood
for it’s time we burry the barrels
and put pieces of peace together
to attain eternal and immortal peace
Crying shadows
Weeping for freedom in the wake of sudden fear
Tears rolling like rivers running crazy
Hearts running faster and faster, closer and closer to death
The earth is dying and the monster is breeding
As the human culture continue to play with fire
Human fear is disguised with loud music
Roaring drums and marimbas
Sharp horns pierce through the ear
Jubilating songs in the time of despair
While they soothe the hearts and free the minds
The danger is still imminent,
The world may still explode
From platonic and atomic bombs and relations
This world awaits a time and moment
When the two get to explode
And because of that
We mend soldiers and fighters
Buy favors and weapons off mass destruction
The silent shadow stares with fear
Of possible self destruction
That this same human race may cause
To all generations and species and shadows

TORO YA ME YA AFRICA
Has been compromised by colonialism
I dreamt of Africans discovering themselves,
of African nations building their own society.
Communities being the building blocks
from which the continental Nation is build
Empa, toro ya me
has been compromised by international ideals
ideals that seek to leave
me feeling silly
my humanity is questioned
by those who caused my continent
un-qualified and non-quantified injustice
with their models of what I should become
they destroyed the vision of my skin
tamed my wilderness with modern nonsense
while smiling at me teaching me this language
now I am writing this
more than I do Setswana sa ga lowe
more than I do puo ya ga mme
toro ya me ya Africa
has been severely molested
by intruding cultures
that have no moral decency
cultures that brought to my shores
moral decay and hunger and anger
i am not angry
it doesn’t matter any more
it is now only a nightmare
My Africa
She is a beauty
her love filled bosom
raise strong and gentle sons and daughters
an iconic beauty that stand tall amongst the rest
even her scarred face shine
brighter than sunshine
even more brighter than the midnight star
her smile cuts through as a lightning
bright and often dangerous like a rose
like a rose she arose thoughts and feelings
often feared by many
her gentle hills and hips
are to be touched with care
her voice echoes in the ears
of those who care to listen
like a song
a dear melody
worthy to be heard
quite a listening pleasure
My Africa
she is a queen
released from slavery for eternity
she is firm on her ground
singing songs of freedom
reminding those who forgot
that she is still the Jungle Queen
the one who fought
wars through years of abusive governance
once tortured, robbed and enslaved
now she is the queen of freedom
her songs resonate across the entire sphere
as songs for freedom
her voice is the voice of humanity
table mountain standing tall
mount Kilimanjaro hailing liberty
the nile flowing with peace
victoria falling in love
across the desert field
into the gold fields
she sings for freedom
in a day born as new
for her babies to rise
and I shall repeat
arise sons and daughters of soil
arise sons and daughters of soul
arise sons and daughters of Africa!!

Did you do it alone, “Tata”?
allow me to ask,
perhaps an unfair question,
to such a stalwart, such a great leader
but “tata” I am left with disbelief
these people tell me you are different
they tell me you freed mzanzi
by yourself or with a little help
but I can hear these people
telling their offspring
that “You” are not like us
that “You” are a saint
a man send from straight above
to free the silly nation
that cannot count
add or multiply
“Tata”, is it true
that you are greater than your skin
that you did not take from your forefathers
that you had no brothers holding your arm
as you wrestle the beast
with your bare hand
that you walked the long walk by yourself?
I do recall the names of other legends
nation builders, even your own mentors
and as I recall the many names
I wonder, when did you became the greatest
and the rest become the smallest
the forgotten soldiers of the one movement
the very movement that today landed a golden spoon in your family mouth
the one movement that I remember was meant to free Africa and its offspring
perhaps I skipped a chapter in history
or maybe I am just miseducated

sweeping clean the street
for I thought you were my protector
little did i know that you are my detractor
sorry I forgot it isn’t personal , you are just contracted
told and ordered by the deceiving dictator
master i am a little distracted
i wonder why i am restricted
by this foreign evil creator’s instructions
it was nice master when we all celebrated
a couple of years ago, when we all felt liberated
when we felt extremely victorious
now everyone seems simply vicious
and i whose face is pale and dry
have to make way before the world makes it here
i am forsaken for i am considered unfitting and dirty
my master believe i can no longer be here
hence I feel like an orphan hidden in the back room
as guest dine and wine in the leaving room
what is so awful about my poverty
i am no thief nor murderer i am just poor
i see you clean well
with your guns you sweep souls like dirt
wish you could sweep the parliament
rid all scum and their scams and leave me alone!
all I can do is to paint the town
dull, gray, and dirty black and pink
i am just a constant reminder
of vicious acts the world would like to forget!!
Sing Along Somebody
Somebody,
Anybody,
sing me a sweet song
Something gentle
Something smooth
Something soothing
I would like to jive
To the rise of jembes
The melodies of
roaring marimbas
My heart beat
Yearn for earthly
Sounds of harmony
The rhythm of hands clapping
Feet stamping
Come on my Africa
Clap, clap and stamp
Let your voice rise
Soothe the ears of the world
Ease the tension in between
With your harmonic wisdom
Sing, somebody
sing ,anybody
sing, everybody
sing,
I sing
Sing along!
shadow of my heart
come with me to a place in my private space
where the shadow of my heart reside
come lean on my shoulder where peace obtained citizenship
where your worries will be held in my two arms
and your burden will be lifted out of your way.
come with me...
to a place only you may enter
a place in the shadow of my heart
where the hot summer day is filtered as per your desire
where your sweet heart will no no pain by my hands
your royal highness, your mighty crown awaits you
come be the queen and I the servant shall serve you
I will be your Knight if you let me
I will brighten your nights just let me
my soul is bare and in your arms
my heart is pure and all yours
come with me to a place where the shadow of my heart rules
where every thought is inspired by your spark
where your glow is welcomed as heavenly gift
come light my fire...!

like a midnight star
let him go…
like the star that fades as the morning wakes
at dawn as dogs stops to bug the moon and shadows
to a place where maybe hearts will hurt no more
to a place where another human can no longer cause pain
like a midnight star
memories remain
the pleasant one I shall cherish
time spent with shall be remembered only in honor
as friends we shall tell stories with smiles
of a great friend maybe even shed a tea
still I thank God for having given the chance
to be in company of a greater person
at night as we count stars
i know yours will be shinning amongst the best
hope you are at peace now…
I sigh
my leaders look at me with discontent hearts,
disliking the sound of my presence,
and the aroma of my existence,
i am the son of soil
born in the kraal of the world
in the arms of humanity
i am son of the world
given birth by mother nature
yet
i am a constant reminder of things gone wrong
i the African prince
i eat from the palms of the earth
my stomach has become the dustbin of my molesters
the veryones who took my every thing
only to mix it with their dirt
and sell it back to me
as magnificent designer that,
designer, my foot
i sigh,

The passing of Terry
A giant in his own rights or wrongs
Hero to some, and zero to others
In the arms of youth lost his tooth and a life
With very little dignity left
He became a victim of circumstances
He do be creating or harnessing
Is this racism, self defense or crime
Or is it that the chicken had come home to roast
That maybe the pot that has been brewing in his backyard
Is finally ready to be served to the master
I can only imagine, the minor serving the master
The final offering, is this really murder
Or could it be that we all are mad
Easter tears on white faces of my motherland
Reminding me of the Easter tears on African faces
When the honey was stolen from my African tea
A giant in his own rights or wrongs
A leader to his own, surely you will be remembered
By some as the constant reminder of hate and apartheid
By others as a father of the Afrikaners
To the prison warders who once locked your doors as another convict
Many more will remember many more
But uncle terry ain’t no more…
dust to dust - ashes to ashes
all passes in time,
the frail may have their hearts beaten
but the beast will too meet its maker
down to the ground
down to the ground
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
dust is dust whether beast full or beautiful
and all dust will pass in due time
from heroes to zeros
soldiers and slaves
presidents and residents
comrades and cowards
minors and miners
masters and misters
mistresses and ministers
dust to dust, ashes to ashes
we all will one day fade from the face of the earth
just one day, another day some day,
we will see the passing of time
when time is ripe for each of us
through wagons of fire
weapons of mass destruction
atomic
asagais
rattling guns
bitter love
sweet lust
romance
racism
critism
something
some day
will push one of us,
and another one,
and another one
till the passing of time come to pass no more

Zoom zoom, gimme some, gimme more
Darling mzanzi…gimme more,
gimme more,
gimme more time,
gimme more love,
I would love to abuse you,
Sorry, meant to say, I will like to hold you,
hold you tight squeeze your last breath,
suck your sweet dry lips until you burst with draught
I am your lover trust me you won’t die
Don’t panic, you in my arms,
I promise I won’t disappoint you
I will do as you expected as you feared
Don’t worry you ain’t going to die…
Gimme more so you live
I will live in abundance for you my dear
Don’t worry about your struggle
Don’t worry about your old thorn rags
Just gimme more,
gimme more of the less you have
don’t you know I am the father of the nation?
Gimme more kisses on the ballot paper
I need more
To keep you down to your position
With my empty promises
Now come on don’t cry
You know I lied,
Come on,
you didn’t believe me, did you?
really now, free education,
affordable electricity
I am not Baas what will I milk?
If not your tits, meant your bank!!
No Angry Just Hungry
i thought for a second,
a second felt longer
as my hunger
command anger
as danger
rise from within my burning arteries.
in a moment i leaped for hope
as desires like rising seas
engulf my sense of commonness
leaving the lean part of me
starving,
leaning on the shoulders of death.
I struggle to take a breath
of fresh air,
still i do not feel fresh
my stake feels stale
even the wilderness desires me no more
i watch with dismay
as my babies starve to death
while the riches of my woump
feeds the bellies of my haters.
I wish they could choke on it.
I keep repeating,
a luta continua, aluta continua
but a lot continues
a lot continue
my babies continue cry
my tears to feel my rivers
my ... still contiues.
my dignity still is the door mat
with which the world wipes it's
stinking, rottern smelling...
...she eat,
i eat from underneath the masters table
the remains and dirt of the devils lunch
and hope God is watching over me!

THE BEASTFULL BEAUTIFUL BEE
BE EI EI
Like a bee in a beehive
houses shinning with gold, honey and jelly
they stand upright in world abroad claiming to represent the majority
while fulfilling their selfish quest to enter the Forbes list of riches
they continue to dine and wine with their counterparts from the other color
as they continue to squeeze tight the world’s budget for their greater benefit.
===<<>>===
The bee
that sting with its deceitful handshake,
it rallies with the poor once in every five seasons
making promises of a better tomorrow, hope and prosperity
then disappear into the limelight, red carpets, vip lounges
as they rip the rewards we gladly awarded them…
with our humbled “X”
===<<>>===
Black…
brother don’t be
the bee that beast its own flesh and blood
in an empty quest full of earthly mystifying dreams
==<<>>==
black sister don’t fall blind to thoughts of denting whiteness
that seeks to confuse your blackness
my bee’s brothers and sisters
reach deep in your soul for the strength to survive
the cause that seek to convert your spirit to that of a hyena!
the cause that seeks to give you a ride in the gravy train
of mass murders, deception and lies!
===<<>>===

Give it up brother
sure I have never seen your face
neither have I seen that of your sons and daughters
nor that of your graceful wife
and even though I have never seen your people
their plight like a light cannot be hidden
History knows you once were a true African,
a man who fought the white beast to free
the soul of his African clan
What ever happened to the food basket of the world
how did this become a banana country
where mambo jumps bambo
indeed i do not aim to criticize
however I am puzzled as death resides in your door step
Master you must be tired of waving your arm
to chaise the houseflies smelling blood in your reign
Give it up brother
it ain't worth it any more
the basket is empty
even the bananas no longer grow in your backyard
soon there will be nothing
cacth a call, wake up brother
from an African to another,
give it up it aint worth it anymore!Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Where has the Hero gone to!?
what the politicians are cooking ain't tasty
my body shivers as they sing their promise
at heart I do feel like crying as they are believed
but this flock of selfserving wealthy men
was once the spear of the nation
once they cried our tears
but now they sucking our blood
as they reward themself for what some call
the trouble they have been trough
as they fought the evil historical beast
they lust every cent that exist
and they know we havent learnt to judge them
their greatest shield our desire to protect freedom
and the only freedom we know is black
how can they ever loose
how can we ever abandon them
our heroes, those who intend to loose us
as they build multi billion mansions
in expensive surburbs while they
plant match boxes in townships all over the place
with little intuation or thought to what they do
they continue to enforce the clustering of people by wealth
yet they are counting on us
to hand them their golden tickets to the gravy train
we lifted them before
we will lift them again
better the devil we know right!
i ain't coping no complaining
this is the way of life...there aint heroes anymore
everybody is scratching his own bellies
and thsi bellies are bottomless
hence this hunger is never going
those with little hands are the endangered spicies
the bigger hands are fast and furiuos
you should see them on our roads
they overtake and take over us
are these our heroes...flashing blue lights
in black elegant rides forcing us off the road
may the real heroes please stand up!
Dead chants of freedom…
Dead chants of freedom…
The chants of freedom faded into the night of passing times
as soldiers are no longer born
boys learn how to toy with guns
intellectual lectures on morality and blackness
replaced with stories beginning with “In our times”
as the teller continues to gallop sick sweet poison
with a bar toddler on his lap commenting “Sweet Sugar”
The chants of freedom buried with the dead of 93
forums of today discuss freedom to sin
as in freedom to kill the innocent dependent
before they even see the light of the day
the closet sinners demand to be appreciated
and the law dance to their tune
men shall point another with his stick
and woman shall father a man.
Rhythm of the dead chant
as metal sounds melt the night away
young revelers black and white
dazzle in the mix of substance
dirty smokes in the air
as we jam to our intoxication
panties down no mangamanga business
tomorrow we shall tow the tac line
I lament the death of freedom chants!!!
