Book
— Smile Victor
Find oneself lost between pages
Where boundaries of the territory is set by the ink
Through the author’s thoughts, ink sets one’s world
Far beyond the ink
Wonders fill the mind
Blind we become
The thought of being lost overwhelms our mind
As more thoughts overflows the mind
The mysteries in the ink start to become a blur
Yet still lost in between the lines.
Far beyond the words and,
Through the invisible eyes of the author
Tracks were laid
beyond the thoughts and the lines,
There lies secrets to self-discovery,
creating the world through the words, picture
and colour into existence.
Where the way to self-discovery lies
Wolves
— Elmaire Kruger
Wolves are hungry
Wolves are feared
They’ll eat your heart and drink your tears
Wolves will tear you
Limb from limb
Licking at your nose, your chin
But wolf of forest
Wolf of stream
These are not the wolves I mean
Wolves can be your deepest fears
Wolves can be your closest dears.
Africa
— Blessing Maluleke
Africa an enchanting continent.
Africa a diverse continent.
Creator’s art you are,
alluring to those who look at you from a distance.
Mother nature you are.
You are beauty in its finest,
you are the rose.
Your flaws and imperfections make you who you are
but amongst all you remain the love at first sight.
I mean you are the sheen,
you are a rainbow nation.
You are sui generis.
Ungu mama africa.
