IMPERFECT I
I had to crawl to learn to walk
Same way
I had to fall so as to stand
Getting involved in mistakes
Learning never to miss taking heed
Born in sin
Beyond what is seen
I never meant to hurt anyone
Because I cleansed my heart for everyone
My actions do not define me
Just a manifestation of thoughts in the inner
me
I may be right
Sounds alright
I may be wrong
But I am getting strong
In whatever you think is good
Remember people have already stood
Where you are
In what you go through
Be not quick to judge
Let...

BLAMELESS
Nine months not hindered
The gift is delivered
Beautiful and innocent
Playful but decent
It is shown the path by the sire
Not minding its own desire
Everyday its mind expands
And has to meet its demands
Self discovery sets in
Beyond recovery
Everything it does gets upsetting
Abuse
Beatings
Torture in the name of love,
It endures before getting freedom
So called citizen of the nation
Filled with so much ambition
Filled with convition
Far from fiction
With the fear of failure
In this world of 'success'
We can...

YOU
Listen to you
Obey you
Because You is strong
and will never let u down
the competition is stiff
in this race of human life
some with good intent
some maliciously indecent
not all will be happy with your strides
but dont be crappy
show them how you glide
over the harsh phases of the universe
traverse with respect
converse in peace and harmony
we all have a purpose
we shall be ranked per pass
stand firm in what you believe
shun away all that decieve
keep your head high
no matter their utter
give them a shutter...

IDENTITY
she claims to have sired me
but for me I never desired
she found me native
yet still creative
she called me black as my land
but still held my hand
her ways were white
I wondered if she had the light
my fertile lands were taken
I was left barren
she also had a gun
that made all of us run
our mouths were shut
only torture we could attract
my values
my language
my food
my lifestyle
so sad to have lost
I even lost touch with my Higher Man
because her God, I was forced to call
I had to shave my afro trademark...

MOUTHPIECE
We make strides when we speak
No one minds when we prick
Because we belong to the third eye click
The society needs healing
For so long we have been kneeling
We all have to mature
That's the only human's manure
I believe in a being
Not looking up to the ceiling
Words spearheaded internally
While we head to spears externally
Many have eyes but will never see
Many are the ships but few cross the sea
It's our duty
To redeem our beauty
Let us maintain His orders
Do not retain borders
Just a piece
Peace
No one minds when we prick

Words spearheaded internally

Many have eyes but will never see
Many are the ships but few cross the sea

Ape Music
Many are the beats
All over the streets
All in form of rythm
What a paradigm
The soul longs for a comforter
But falls to an obstructor
Deep are their voices
But confused are their choices
Knowledgeable is the reader
But exact is the writer
Songs we write
Should make the path bright
It gives us the pace
And we settle in a place
Full of soul food
Make us shun falsehood
All over the streets
All in form of rythm
What a paradigm
The soul longs for a comforter
But falls to an obstructor
Deep are their voices
But confused are their choices
Knowledgeable is the reader
But exact is the writer
Songs we write
Should make the path bright
It gives us the pace
And we settle in a place
Full of soul food
Make us shun falsehood

New Year
Years come and go
No matter how slow
How fast
It is all in the past.
Let us think of our previous
It is so serious.
Our actions
Factions
Did we put them in fractions?
All directions of the compass
Things shall come and pass
Do not join their tug of war War of thugs!
And as we move on
Them shall we prove wrong
Forever in unity
Let us detest ipmunity
Discrimination
Condemnation
All abomination.
The pen shall regain ink
Forever in a blink
Serious it may seem
Hope light will not continue to dim
We have...

Feel It
You and I
We belong
Everyone has reason
Do not put anyone in prison
It does not matter
No matter the utter
The heart is supreme
And has the power to redeem
Or make things dim.
Simple as it sounds
Harder you will fall on the grounds
After karma deals with you
Noone will want to deal with you
And as I sit to write
I hope things become bright
For You
And Me
We belong

Do not put anyone in prison

Friend
So much inspiration
Tonnes of consideration
So sad is the tale of friendship
Like that of mad sheep
To call someone friend
A wrong message to send Of the unwavering trust
So vast
But one thing is clear,
Are they dear?
What of you they make
How much can you take Individual is always in the future
To avoid life as a sculpture
Rather vulture

POET!
The words we speak
Makes trouble sneak
And as the clock ticks
Their momentum picks
To the peak!
So many words to shuffle
But not in a scuffle!
Too many lines to read
Enough for the soul's need
Confident and wise
Makes the lowly rise.
Words that peck-
A needle in the neck.
Many are the critics
But we utter no tricks
The path is narrow
Just as Jack is Sparrow.
Tall is how we stand
All we get is an upperhand!
So as we hold our pens
Let's strive to mend the bend
To the end
Makes trouble sneak
And as the clock ticks
Their momentum picks
To the peak!
So many words to shuffle
But not in a scuffle!
Too many lines to read
Enough for the soul's need
Confident and wise
Makes the lowly rise.
Words that peck-
A needle in the neck.
Many are the critics
But we utter no tricks
The path is narrow
Just as Jack is Sparrow.
Tall is how we stand
All we get is an upperhand!
So as we hold our pens
Let's strive to mend the bend
To the end

The Scourge
Tired of the sufferation
Real menace of earths apparition
Dont judge me with my appearance
We are the great ones
No time to mingle with pagans
No religion
I believe in no legion
Tread the right road even if in poverty
Try hold on in this world of calamity
Even though we work so hard
And still get no pay
Maintain Godly way
Try kill the pain
They think i am not intelligent
But am here to show you what is evident
They better know am no a weak end
And when I touch the road; God defend
Be real and dont pretend
Love is a thing...
Real menace of earths apparition
Dont judge me with my appearance

Sealed treasure
A divine present
No need of human consent
Power so strong
Holds so long.
To decide someone's life
Ah! Try cut a tree by knife!
Never ending wordsquirt
Never cease to be alert
Daily with passion
It drives with compassion
No matter how you resist
It has power to insist
No matter the pay
It creates a way.
As assembled by God
So will I trod
People will always talk
But forever continues the walk
They will always judge
As positive ideas merge
Vanity filled jobs
That fill many with sobs
Sugar coated slavery...
