Anele ''The African Son'' kaPotelwa (1992 March 03 / South Africa (eDutywa Eastern Cape, But Currently In Cape Town))
A Human Confession
It was love
That brought hate
It was joy
That brought sorrow
It were all facts
That constituted opinions
It was the truth
That came with lies
It was a women
That man still live
It was the night
That brought all the light
Though it was fiction
That came with theories
It was the black one
That even today we have the white
It was winter
That came with summer
It was God
That created the devil
It was health
That came with illness
It was success
That resulted in that failure
But bare
And never dare that
It was life
That brought us death

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
it was a mistake that
preaches guilt;
it was agony
that withholds wisdom;
it was silence
that immerses peace;
I really did not pay attention to that, until I scrutinised this philosophy that opened my eye it is as if you saying for every good there is a bad, you the best I still say you are nele
