Impacting Positively

Alone in the town of the dead  All I do is cry out my pain For what use is it if I am among humans? Humans who do not value morality Who despise reason  And who have killed independence.  You think I am foolish Because I have questioned tradition Or is it because you don't understand my ways? Or because I mock your kings Those who rip you off daily? You don't understand me Verily, I am alone. Tell me the truth Do you sometimes wonder if they lie to you? Do you understand them? The clerics The elders The society Do you? I can't be alone, no, I cant. Join me Let us ask questions Like the snail We may be slow in triumphing But certainly we will rise Rise after every fall Rise and walk again After they push us down.

The tears you cause today  Flow down side by side  My cheeks like a valley lead them on  Down and down, birthing a river  One that shall divide us eternally  Yesterday, I could die for you Today, you are dead though alive, You worth nothing to me now  The gates to my compound reject you.  Dont cry dont beg Not that you will For your ego is big , Risen like fine bread  So big it chokes your senses to death.

They say love is the key I say yes, to misery. They say love covers all I say yes, all sense of thinking. So what is love? Love is the bee that stings Love is the thief that robs It is like the rainbow Beautiful, but never stays long Love is the traitor that pledges allegiance Love is a lie. It's the false thunder that strikes in a drought Giving false hope  And gives the pretence of rain It is the walkway to the grave. The next time love smiles at you Tell her you know her already Too well to be fooled Too well to be deceived.

They want you flushed away Because you are the reminder of pain They never want to meet you Because like your father They claim you shall devour Yes, become the rupturer of hymens They claim you are evil So your bones must be crushed No, it shall not even form They have abandoned me Now it is just us. I have become outcasted Carrying my luggage of pain alone Lacking even my mother's love But I swear in my sweat You shall never lack My slender breasts shall feed you My long legs shall support you When I carry you on my back We shall make each other happy For all we have, is just us. If you are evil, I like evil If you are pain, I love pain You are my little god And I shall worship you. You shall become fearless You shall prosper for me For I shall suffer for you Angrily like a mother hen I will guide you my child You have every right to life But nobody thinks so Just us.

My coloured box cries with pain It tells me they have done it again Scores have been reduced to manure The mother separated from her nurtured But like a cadaver I feel no pain So why should I it feign? I am insulated Against pain Against hurt Against sadness I am used to it To having such news for breakfast It is no longer sad I feel no hurt I feel no anguish I am no longer afraid Pain insulated this heart.

Hope asked for another chance For one more last dance I said No Hope said we have built an empire So this love we must not let expire I said No. Hope is wicked and vain It yields no gain It tells the farmer rain shall come It tells the barren she shall be a mum But I have said No, to hope. I want reality So I killed that mentality The one that hopes. And took the ropes, Rode my cart away, fast Like a maiden eloping , fast fast! I turned my back, I said No.

It gets better by the day  Every drop collected, into an ocean  And when the sun shines, I make hay  So now, like Mr Soldier at attention  I advance, ready to conquer.  Hands on the trigger, ready to shoot  Standing at the shore, awaiting the wave  Diving in, not testing with a foot  Bursting forth, out of my cave  I advance, ready to conquer.  For oh! I have held back  Held back so long I died  So long that I chose the dark  For peacefully, there I cried  But now, I advance, ready to conquer  Aware of my flaws  Aware of my beauty  Aware of my scars  Aware of my strength  I advance, ready to conguer.
