MAKING WAVES

When I was afraid of going after what I wanted,
The water was still
Still as if a crystal skin held it in place
When I finally got the strength to make baby steps
The water still was still
Impatient! Where was the desired effect?
It came a little late but when I saw the ripples,
The light of the sun rose inside my heart
And hope was rekindled
Rekindled like a fire
Now I’m focused on the object of my desire
I’m in full pursuit and I will not tire
As I watch the ripples grow,
My faith becomes solid and I know,
I know I’m going to make waves
I can see me making waves

JINXED JANUARY

Why do you bring tension, fear, worry?
Yes, January, I need you to hurry
Pack up the rest of your days
Be gone, end already!
All i can do is pray for better days
Get out!Don't make me shout
The country's ablaze

CRITICISM , CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

Constructive criticism is....
Telling a person what they did wrong
And what they can do to better it

Constructive criticism isn't hating!

STIGMA

Has he got sores on his skin?
Has he got lethal green skin ,
Purple colour of the eyes?
Shame on you and your eyes
For acting the way you do
Have you got a heart or a 'shoe'?
Why d'you stand at a distance,
Why are you grimacing this very instance?
Is it because you don't relate?
Unaffected that's why you hate

APPRECIATION

Appreciation
Is an incredible source of motivation.
That recognition
of a pleasant quality or that little gift
Brings about the ignition
of the limitless power of creativity
A passionate fire so intense
It opens one mind to new possibilities
We never in our wildest dreams could see

EARTH MUSIC, HUMAN MUSIC AND MY EXPRESSION.

Disappointment! I hate it when it comes along.Disappointment like death can stop you dead in your track.The good news is that unlike death you can do something about it. You don't have to let it demoralise you, you don't have to let be a barricade to your hopes and dreams,your efforts,your goals.

If i had written this yesterday when i was just from a disappointing audition, i would have clearly lost the point.I felt lost. I felt like i didn't belong to that particular genre that they were looking for (afrofusion) or anyother for that matter.Somebody asked me what kind of music i do and i said the first thing that was on my mind-"I dont know." Later i thought that was a stupid answer...now i don't. It can be Afrofusion-neosoulrnbsoftrockish or not. What i do know is that my music is earthmusic ,human music and it's an expression of who i am.

Those dropped from that audition were told they could come back the next day and prove they were afrofusion artists.I might not fit in that category .What will i sing?...

I'm not going , I don't have to
If they are not looking for me
Then somebody else is
And that's who I'm looking for

Maybe you're thinking , that this chap right here, really knows how to console himself. I'm looking for somebody who is going to appreciate my 'art' for what it is ,not change it ,maybe better it. One thing's for sure, God knows why I'm doing what I'm doing .Maybe it's for the music ,maybe it's for a greater course.I believe I'm on the right track of my life's journey , my destiny.

I am a person looking for appreciation for who I am.

LETHAL EMOTION

This river of bile flows recklessly...


Have you got no respect
Dont you call them to expect
you?You'd rather come crude
You have never been refined ,rude
you've come to leave gorges in my heart
your regular, you've come to reck atleast hurt
Intentions like a poisoned dart.
nightmarish cat, I'm not that little rat
well i used to be,
drowning so often in that bitter sea
withdrawal symptoms from your flow river,
had me shaking,cold ,that icy shiver
River of bile let us see
If I'll let you flow another mile in me



Let no lethal emotions flow in you.
