Cancer - PALMS OF WISDOM 2.0

 Cancer 


Right as it snatches me by the loose strings 

Of my heart ,I turn slowly to dart away from it 

Faster than lightning it catches up and tears me

From limb to limb leaving me solemn in agony

and the dust of depression settles in and I turn to pills


Smearing a smile to let the world turn away because

Questions with no answers send depression to taunt 

and haunt me again.

It all fades away as I shut my eyes pressing tears in

But in no time they protest and my eyelids let them escape

Am fading away like burnt ashes of the dead in the wind


Am scared of sharing about the sad girl filled with loathe

stuck in me .

I keep her locked in because the world knows how to 

point fingers and dance to your sorrows.

Am scared that when the sun gets embraced by its mother 

Thoughts surface like bats seeing light from an intruder


If I could find a solution far from suicide, I will repaint 

my portrait adding colours to bring life to my picture.

It will water my heart and love will start oozing again

Am your mirror see me hug me but our journey is not the same 

But one good deed illuminates the dark room I am in.

Winnie Mandela The shield of hope for us women The black bird that stood firm on thorny branches enduring the pain The silver lining on the dark cloud of chauvinism and yes I mean an inspiration 'IHAWU LOKUZIPHUNGELA!' Resilience was her motto, Determination her push factor Independence her own goal Standing firm on a world which pressed down women elevating males..'IMBOKODO!' The voice of thunder sending old men away gnashing their teeth and their knees trembling in fear The gourd of wisdom, if you sat next to her you could quench your thirst for knowledge. The flower that bloomed even in stormy weathers I stand firm with confidence to share that 'no shadow intimidated her' A well of courage where we all draw water the water of confidence and resilience . My people a heroine has moved to the next life 'INDLOVUKAZI IKHOTHEME!' Leaving us with words of encouragement memories to keep us going, a light in our quest for freedom ...

  The symbol of courage and strength  even your flag emits the rays of mettle  The world applauds your resilience in  this whirlwind that inflicts pain to your bleeding nation  You have shamelessly embraced yourself with your warm flag  the blanket of peace even in this stormy weather  you have touched the joints of bones that gave up  even before walking the path of freedom reviving the spirit of hope Through battered windows they watch you take the walk of tribulation  but I know tomorrow, our eyes will feast in jubilation as the world helps you sit on your throne of sovereignty, peace and freedom I strongly believe that  day is drawing nearer ......

Little bird - PALMS OF WISDOM 2.0

-
  Little bird You had been growing with time  Even though you were born in miles I watched you as you blossom  But now look at the crows  Laughing as they chase  you with eyes of destruction You had been cherished with love But now you are rotting with lust  I watch you fall apart helplessly because my nest is too far to warm you You had been promised freedom but sadly Here you are caged and showered with lies and deceit. I will watch you perish because my hands  are tied. You are now left alone with your nest askew reeking melancholy. I saw your tears yesterday I see them today  but if you leave them  I will see them tomorrow You have been left with scars  But they come to add more  I watch you fall into depression accompanied by  Low self-esteem because you trust and love too much Your ribs are broken  Your wings are tender  Your legs are shaking Your head is hammering  I will bandage and sooth you  Small ...
