Darkness.
Seen as void and empty.
Sometimes it  leaves you thinking,
About something you've long been regretting.

People in darkness,
Only feel fear.
They think in the darkness,
Something evil is lurking near.

They don't look deeper,
And try to see.
Darkness is but a sad little child,
Longing for friends and is lonely.

But darkness, its my friend.
In darkness, anger, hatred, and judgement,
you can no longer see.
I am a friend to her,
And she a friend to me.

My best friend.
My go to person, my therapist.
She who understands me, can see right through me.
A virtuous, respectable, strong woman.
I desire one day to be just like her.
She is deeply humble, doesn’t see herself, but others.
She sees me for who I am, accepts me,
Wretched as I am.
When I refer to my family, she’s part,
For somehow the universe had decided to send me this special being.
I have not the ability to befriend such a person, nor have I earned her.
She makes my life all the sweeter.


For – Zione.

How long, oh how long will this living hell continue?

I cant bear it, no more.

I refuse to see my beautiful country and its beautiful people suffer under the weak rule of our ‘Leaders’

How dare they take advantage of God’s land!

How is it that I, a fourteen year old see it, but the rest don't?

How long will this oppressions go on, when will we regain our freedom and dignity.

All we receive are pretty words and empty promises, and we watch our country being crushed into rubble!

No more!

No more!

No more!

No more!

No more!

I shan't take it any longer, I cant.

Stop now! Get all these evil away from my beautiful rainbow nation.

For what was once a rainbow nation, has been turned into black and grey, death and depression.

Why?

Listen, all of you! You who are tired and weary.
This be not a poem, but an urgent message, one that could save your life and grant you true joy.
I wish that for you, that is why I bestow upon you the answer!
I tell you this, Jesus is the answer, the way.
He be not cruel, nor does he ask of you to be perfect, for he loves you as how you are.
He is like a doctor, he looks not for the healthy and healed, but looks for the broken, so that he may heal them!
He cares not for the perfect, for rituals or religion,
He cares for those who truly try to please him, it is enough.
He grants them the strength to overcome this cruel world.
He looks upon no one with anger, but with compassion, a type of compassion that no universe could ever provide.
For he watches you with love at this very moment, he watches you as a mother watches her new-born child.
He only sees the good in you, he thinks you are perfect.
He weeps with pain for all those who reject him, he weeps like a father that has lost a child.
He weeps when he sees his beloved children follow after Satan!
For Satan knows your name, but calls you by your sin.
Jesus knows your sin but calls you by your name.
He loves you!
Quickly, turn to him,
Give him your heart and serve him,
Before it’s too late and you are sent to the fiery depths of hell, where you will burn eternally and will be eaten alive, yet it never ends.
Jesus loves mankind with all his heart,
For he even took in harlots, murderers, and healed the possessed!
Surely he can save you too, all he asks is that you love and serve him.
Don’t think he can’t handle you, that you are too much for him.
For the moment you repent, he forgives and forgets and writes your name in the palm of his hand.
He loves you, no matter what!
He died for you, and rose from the dead…..for you!
Turn to him, shout his name into the atmosphere.
I promise, he will hear you from heaven, and he and his angels dance and rejoice when you truly turn to him.
The end is near, and I know for sure he can’t bear to lose you!
• Isaiah 54:10: "For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you".
• 1 Peter 5:7: "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you".

Beauty.

Beauty, the world has made it such a rare thing,
almost as rare as a butterfly's wing.

Beauty, these days you don't find it just anywhere,
and if you, yourself don't have it,
about you they don't care.

Beauty, its only noticed when above the skin,
but is there true beauty deep within?

In the beginning, beauty was made for everyone to be,
but now being beautiful is no longer easy.

Now beauty is just about the size, the hair, and the look,
the world has taken beauty and written it in a book.

They tried to make words of something undescribed,
now people their faces only want to hide.

But, everyone's beautiful in their own way, trust me,
because when you see horror in the mirror,
beauty is what I see.

Apple, you are my best friend, you are so sweet.
You make the doctor run with his coat entangled between his feet.
By pulling my teeth you help cancel dentist appointment day,
yes, I would want to take you with to school everyday.

You come in many shapes and sizes,
Like salads, slices, apple - tizers.
You help me overcome my biggest fear,
yes you avoid the doctors from coming near.

You help my increase my money stash,
When pulling teeth attracts tooth mouse cash.
Yes I take you with me everywhere, everyday,
'Cause an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
