They say a bushman never gains weight
Because they never eat from a plate
Some think it's because of the food
...
I was born many moons before this day
Do not mistake this black skin for a fool’s coat
And find reason to gossip in dark corners
Wondering, ’ Who I am'
...
Yesterday I painted my dream with the colors of the earth
like many I was afraid of the unknown’ land of dreamers’
The walls of doubt surrounded my thoughts
But to kill the shadow-(dark) is to shine light on it
...
Describe to me beauty from the eyes of a blind man
Where color is deflected to nothingness
Let me be a child again and love without expectation
Wake me from this sleep as I walk
...
The deepest scars
Never live a mark clear
Like sins of the dark
where physical norms collapse,
...
I am hatred not a patriot
The end of love
Disgrace and disgust
A bullet through a flying dove
...
I am the voice that speaks
In different tongues
Craft my word throw letters
Curl a new life with verses
...
You are the darkness that stole my youth
Had me a fool, I wish now I had known the truth
I now carry from whence I came
You stole my pride and now you chain me as your bride
...
When every shape breads shadows
And the cloud wrinkled by the last rays of light
I wait for the sun to nudge down by the hills
Then I take my pen to draw you
...
