Wave Length
The sensation in my body
Twisted in different forms
Forms that sheds the wave length
That wave length that reflects the reality we endure
Those realities that you and I face
The living within the discourse of life
The discourse so segmented that it affects only you and I
But what about the others ????
Who are those others ?
Stop!
Can you hear that.... !!!
No.. No.. can you hear the echo yet fused in silence
That silence that we present in order to understand what the system expects of me
Or is it the realities that inequalities are experienced by those who claim power over....
POWER OVER ???
Why ... Oh Why...????
That power ... The power that shapes yet breaks the POWER WITHIN me as the person
The person that longs to be free within and out there
The sensation in my body
Twisted in different forms
Forms that sheds the wave length
That wave length that reflects the reality we endure
Those realities that you and I face
The living within the discourse of life
The discourse so segmented that it affects only you and I

Flaws
The
composition of oneself, the environment and the situation are interconnected
So
much that it influences our actions
Those
actions that infringes upon others
The
violation of not being frank about what one feels inside
The
hold that confuses many besides ones inner decisions to overcome
The
flow of affection filled with flaws that are difficult to remedy
Oh
what a frame of life that holds one due to journey’s experienced before whiles
a bright future has arise
A
future one knows entails lots of joy and happiness
Segmented
by the crossroads just because of what is seen and perceived to be as is.
My
flaws – those flaws are my flaws
The
tie of many fears
The
risk of uncertainty and gross violation of doing injustice to our hearts
Those
hearts that feels big but at times shrinks
All fazed
by the amount of pain
A
pain that one tries to avoid however paved by many associated lines of ache
The
ache of growth clustered in order to remedy the pain, fears and risks
Why
– why …
The
echo of your voice and actions is all that drives me
My
affection and enclosement shy’s away the flow of our reality

That Woman
What is it to be a woman?
Is it to be able to cook, clean?
Do all household shores
Once you start
Expressing yourself
In different ways
You are questioned
Questioned upon
The type interest one has
What type of interest am I talking about?
Interest such as loving women
Irrespective of what the affection it is
What is this affection?
Disclosing!
I am a lesbian
They start giving me lectures
I told myself
There is no way I allow
People make me do things I do not
Feel comfortable in it
I am who I am
I am a woman
A woman who loves other
Physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually
She was
She’s the one
She was the one I was last with
She was the one I once loved
Cared for and wanted to be with
She always told me
“I love you”
And silently her voice faded
And at the end
She threw away
All our dreams and future plans
She left without saying goodbye
Oh what a fool I was
Being blinded by so called love
She was
She will always be

The feeling
The heart beat
The beat that heats ones heart
The stimulant that warms up the body mind and soul
The search of wanting to understand the warmth thus fuelled by the desire of wanting to have
A have that wants and signals as a need
A need to complete the feeling
The feeling that imprisons me from wanting to feel complete
Complete in the sense that I know and understand the narration of my life
Oh The beat that heats ones heart
The stimulant that warms up the body mind and soul
The search of wanting to understand the warmth thus fuelled by the desire of wanting to have
The Beat
The surrounding of one
Filled with so much
Driven by many
Filtering through the mixture of happening
Mastering the mode of survival
Moving by the day with the growth of hope
The hope that defeats the fears
Those fears and concessions of ones life
Manifested by ones heart beat
The beat that reminds one of the existence of sound
The sound that vibrates and connects us to who we are the
The roots of unity
The unity of those sounds that vibrates away the meaning of pain and hurt
The pain that disappears as its owned by the beat, the sound and the surroundings of the echo
The Struggle
The struggle
The liberation
The liberty
attached to oppression
The Struggle
The liberation
Colonialism and
its boxes
Those corners
known to their satisfaction
The exclusion of
those not
Fitting in the
box
The Struggle
The liberation
The ray of
sunlight
That hits the box
The exploitation
and realization of solidiers outside the box
Lenses the
struggle
Graphed the
liberation
Build the web
A web that coils
The struggle
Freedom to consciousness

The Drive
The journey
The drive
The stimulant
A mixture of
emotions
A cocktail of
actions
A rainbow of
reactions
The journey
The drive
The stimulant
A waiver of right
of wrong
A scale of
liberations and struggle
A race of getting
there and not making it
The journey
The drive
The stimulant
The long to fly,
excel, achieve and be conscience
The interaction seen as force the aim of
realization
Oh the journey
That drive
The stimulant
Full injection of
the mind
The unpacking and
realization of the division
The unspoken
split
The segregation
of human ideology
Indoctrinated and
enacted through socialization
