Tree of wisdom - PALMS OF WISDOM 2.0

 Tree of wisdom


I rose with the sun after a violent burial by the rain 

I stretched with joy before the army came to feast

on my leaves.

Then I cried out with holes all over my pretty petals,

hurt and devastated.


I raged casting out my burnt out leaves ,they shrunk

and crisped sadly’

After the huge defeat , I rose with the sun for it smiled 

at me and gave me life .


As I breathed out in raindrops I filled the earth with laughter

and embraced it with flowers ooh my new petals .

They “beautified” me ,but animal never gave up ,he 

stamped on me until I felt pain no more .


Numb I lay helpless but when the sun smiled ,I smiled again.

The hauling storm looted and scotched my home and I 

withered ……...but wait not so fast I did not perish.


Call me resilient for I deserve it…….

As it poured again on me , I stood confident on mother earth

and stronger than I was before.

Yes I am the tree of wisdom pluck a leaf to read me. 


kissed by the summer rains!

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 ...
