Like a princess in the lake,
Like a dove on the wind's wake
Like perfume on the breeze
That blows away your tears...

A whisper on the wind
A breath that never ends
A hope forever grand
Of Future, of a Plan

The dreams of all that are
Of all that came far
Of the hope of nations passed
The Grace forever lasts

The ones that slipped away
Beaten, there they lay
Burned - by the glade
Banished early - They.

Avenged with breath of wind
A dove to wake the wind
Perfume they breathe
They have no more tears.

They drift upon the wind
Their breath has no end
Their granduer is hope
Their future is a Plan.

Their dreams all now are
The truth of near and far
Not nations barred in fear
Upward, onward, forward, clear.

I think thats powerful beyond any measure and realising the power of words and how they can change a man's perception of the things done and yet to be done.

Love it.

My young life was a mixture of black, white, dark dreams, and mellow yellow sun bright hopes. Rewind, sunshine was a stranger in dandelion fields, shadows in my eyes. I grabbed my injured legs leap forward into the future. I’m now a vitamin C boy it keeps me immured from catching colds or Covid-19. Everything now still leaks, in parts, but I press forward.

Letter From The Other Side By Chris Chakwana

I am that seed that was denied the chance to grow. That cock early morning did not crow, the fifth wheel terminated without my will. I am the child you aborted that child you denied the warmth of your womb, tenderness of your breast that child you relegated to the tomb. But No! I refuse to rest, because am that child whose loss u didn't grieve. That child u denied the right to live. Am the child you obliterated, mercilessly annihilated, callously incinerated am the soul whose life you separated that child whose death you celebrated. A product of your reckless behaviour Juvenile delinquency, miss know it all. I am that sad soul u destroyed the abortion pill you employed. I am that being you erased, that life that can never be replaced. Dear mother am that child on your conscience. Your secret yes!, but your daily torment. Like a stain, my memory will ever be your daily pain. I am your mental anguish, disposed of me like rubbish you selfish being. I...
