Africa Day Poem: No Pride In Africa

At a time where everybody is faking it
I choose to be True
True to myself,
True to my fellow brothers and sisters

Happy Africa Day,
They all say
I wish I could say the same
Sadly, Africa has lost its pride
The evil roots of corruption grounded in Africa

Poverty and Hunger is the order of the day
From Cape to Cairo
Africa is suffering
Is there any pride left in Africa?
I don't think so!

Where is our Heritage?
It has long been stolen
How did they steal it from us?
We gave it away in a silver plater!
Some became famous for exchanging it for sugar

Cry my beloved Africa
It has become a Ghost Town
Infighting and Social Injustice is the order of the day
The rich become richer On the sweat of the poor

Dont call me brother
You have an evil conscience against me
A father killing his children so he can have the last meal

Africa is lavishing in Poverty
Whilst its leaders are enjoying European Tours
Neglecting the youths
Fathers have lost hope
Mothers scrapping the ground for a daily meal

Fighting for survival is an everyday battle in Africa
What is freedom, when you cant express it?
They preach so much about it
But daily we are becoming alienated to the so called freedom

From HERO to ZERO
Theirs is their story
They fought for FREEDOM
Now they are fighting FREEDOM
Now I understand what it means to be a FREEDOM FIGHTER

Malema shared the same sentiments
Its time we set free this our Economy
We are an army of ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS
Our voices will surely be heard

Lets pluck ourselves from the hands of injustice
Cry our beloved Africa
Its our season for Democracy
Let Democracy have its course

If I have any hope left in me
Its a hope for Democracy
In Democracy I believe and Democracy never fails

Martin Luther King died for the Democracy of the black people
That Movement for Democracy has rose again
Forever Africa will be Changed.

Me Against The World

A battle that I dearly wish to win.
Me against the world.
Wondering what they will say about me,
Has made me act in a way I never thought I would.

The battle is fierce, me against the world.
The good man in me knows just how best to love you.
Yet the world is fighting against me in all fronts.

I'm gentle, the world wants me to be aggressive.
I wanna wait for your time the world wants me to do it now.

I'm pressured from all fronts,

they say why wait so long.
Yet I don't mind.
I wish I can listen carefully to the real me.

Every time, I depart from the real me,

listening to what the world say;
I end up regretting.

How do I confront this world and his ways?

The best way to win the battle between my heart is to listen to you.
The best way is to trust you;
Listen to you when you say "Not Now"

Trust you when you say; "Next Time"

Like doubting Thomas,

the world has taught me to believe after I have seen.
Listening to the world's voice has left me in complete shame.

Twice I have not listened to you;

twice I have done you wrong.

I have learnt the world's ways don't work for me,

when it comes to loving you.

I know my heart knows how to love you best.

When I trust my heart;

I can never go wrong with you.

I have chosen to stay true.

Staying true to my heart;
when it tells me to trust you.
From today onwards,

I chose to follow my heart and trust you.

The battle between me against the world ends with you.

It ends with trusting you;

You are more than the voice of the world.

I don't want you to forgive me;

I want you to realize that I'm human too; 

Whatever I did was because I didn't stay true to my heart.

I didn't listen to you when I should have;
I didn't trust you when I should have.

Help me win this battle;

me against the world.
I don't wanna feel its pressure no more.
All I wanna do is trust you.

All I want is my heart in control.

I could Have Waited

If wishes were horses;
Kings and Queens we would have been;
Everybody riding on their own.

I have got only one wish,
I should have waited,
I wish I had waited,
Waited for April, seven.

Waited for the day;
The day you will give yourself to me.
It was total confusion;
A lot of misunderstandings.

Failure to read each others mind.

I thought I knew you,
Yet I was only beginning;

If I have any regret,
It will be losing your trust,
I was not made this way,
A song I will always sing.

Yes I'm so impatient;
But I was willing to learn it from you.

Because you loved me,
You didn't want to prolong the wait.
I had so many doubts,
doubts of your coming.

I was not gonna be angry,

I was gonna happily wait.
Wait for the day I was gonna see you.
Wait for April the 7th.

This is my only wish;
I could have waited,
Waited for April the 7th.

I dare to face my fears

Fear, fear, fear.
I got so many fears.
I thought I was brave,
Brave enough to face the world.

But so many fears have since gripped me.

Fear of loving you,
What is love;
I'm so dreaded;
I have been exhausted;

Fear, fear, fear
I'm afraid of loving you.

You are so tender-hearted.
Extremely beautiful,
So soft spoken;

Honestly, I don't know what to do with you. 

In you I see a queen.
I see a leader;
I see a great mother;

What if I wont be good enough?
What if I'm all drained?

My fears are so many!

Though I'm so strong;
I fear I wont be strong enough.
Though I'm caring;
I fear I wont care enough,
care enough for your big heart.

I'm afraid of making up my mind;
Without facing my fears I'm no hero.
Without facing my fears I'm no strong.

I vow one day I will be brave;

brave enough to follow my heart.
Brave enough to face my fears.

That day I will follow my heart,
Before, it has led me astray.
But surely it does know what is right.

That day I dare to face all my fears.

New Found Love

"When you meet someone sweet,

loving and kind,

the feeling is so amazing, you feel brand new"

"Ever since I met you my love,

I feel like I have flipped a brand new page of my life"

I literally can't spend an hour without thinking about us;

the feeling is so great.

I feel like I'm just about to live the greatest moments of my life.❣

I'm in love with you babe.

Love and Faith

So my family and friends asked me

"we heard you are in love",

"how do you know if this relationship is gonna work?"

At first I was not sure but latter on I realized that;

"Love is like Faith;

its like a small lamp in a dark forest,

even though it doesn't show everything at once,

it does give enough light for the next step"

Just like a small light in the dark forest,

your love❤ gives me assurance that my heart is safe with you,

though I might not tell on our future,

every day of our relationship is proving to be a safe Hub for my heart.❣

I love you Ntombi
