David Andre' Klopper Poems

In a time of life where there is only strife,
It is easy to forget about the meaning of life,
When the wheel of life turns too fast or too slow,
It is then that only the wise will know,
...

What will you do when this fight is over?
Will you still want to beat me then?
What will you do when you realise,
That I'm your only friend?
...

When your soul takes fright and you can't see the light,
When you hide in that dark place behind your eyes,
Where you can't hear their lies,
When this is the only safe place to cry,
...

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
You're looking for answers, but nothing is clear,
And you're still too dumb to know any fear,
You're searching for the light that you can't see,
...

We're travelers and we have no home,
We're travelers and we are trying to atone,
We're travelers and we have no name,
We're travelers with no one to blame,
...

What has happened to Reason?
Did it leave when we lost our Feelings?
What happened to Believing?
Did it blow away with the change in season?
...

Sometimes there is only doubt,
Sometimes there is great pain,
Is there nothing to gain, or,
Am I just going insane?
...

March 25 and I heard you were still alive,
So I sent a policeman,
Asked him to tell a lie,
'Love is giving someone the power,
...

I see flames reaching high and the world is red,
Confusion reigns as reason is dead,
Today my heart it is breaking,
...

From the dawn of time,
We've been telling the same old lies,
Closing our ears to the women's cries,
And our hearts to the children's sighs,
...
