Okello Baloyi Poems

I speak of black child, attached to downside history, with nothing to live for but my work is tremendous, as my whimper is taken for granted

How likely do you heed a person who has no commercial value? , I went all out and still I'm unknown, as if my words perish within my inner self
...

In the morning my heart bleeds tears of love, I'm actually afraid of waking up and carry on with life without you. My happiness is beyond self satisfaction but mutual love

Where one doesn't offer resources nor material, but with affection and ambition we drove to future before noon.
...

There were no friends, the moment I needed them, the road was too long and darkness occupied my eyes, and the rain poured all over my body, as I walked alone through the forest and hills.

Some friends didn't stay around, while same pretended as they were helping me, while they were putting me beneath the burning woods, just to see my life turns into ashes.
...

Oh, and when I die
Do not sob for me
I've walked among the living
And when I die
...

In an unpleasant transportation we met, the gentleman in me didn't realize the holiness in her, for a moment I felt like a tourist in my own life, until I knew it was all the gravity of love pulling me to her, while we were both unknown to one another

The second time seeing her, it was my first time exchanging words with her in person, and I said to myself 'an earthly angel is in my path ', for a moment it was as if I'm tormenting myself while my heart is blind-drunk inlove.
...

Red in my eyes
Furious I feel!
Without any cause
I can't explain the feeling

I was born in a war zone, some call it survival of the fittest, but we're just led by corrupted politicians, seeking help from greedy prophets while our people turn into ignorant Christians, ladies mistaken feminism with self-justification.

While violent crimes against our sisters is an uninterrupted series, as our brothers have no purpose to live, in our forefathers' lands, the other race walk's free and own every little thing they can lay hands on, and I'm expected to turn my eyes blind, in such hell.
...

Non premeditated series of error, there's no justification to the wrongness I've caused, as my transcend's are purely selfish, before I regret, already someone's swimming in a pool of tears resulting from my actions!

My eyes are full of remorse and the war of my wrongs ain't over yet, even though I usually rejoice for success, but does success stay the same even after violating someone's movements or rights? with no justification?
...

You got my feelings running out wild for you, as it said I am always complaining about how I love you, I'd walk from here up to the ends of earth and never find such love I have for you.

I'd really like to know your intentions of me, but again, I don't have much to offer than mature affection, as my heart is an orchard of the love I got for you in this bizarre world.
...

Love is just a transaction, we present what we can offer to another, I tried looking for it in my heart but my mind been popping out clues, alarming my feelings that love is optional to oneself.

Step by Step, as long as the road doesn't lead you to the same destination always, I wanna find myself in another country as well but how could a bird fly high with one wing, my surroundings were not always friendly but I turned out to be something.
