Joburg!!: They stand with their heads buried in the sky, Watching with amazement creatures of the sky, Through their broken eye that weep. Of the joys the city could not keep Their great bodies full of emptiness, Due to crime and street roughness. They look at the greed of the past, They wish they could creep to the past They listen to the sound of the gun, They cry and wish they could run. Then the evening falls slowly, The sound, men, trains, cars die slowly, The sound, drunk,whores, guns, rise surely. Bang another eye is smashed, Bang another car gets smashed. The late and lonely get scared, They cry and pray they be spared. The great Yester-arts look down in tears, Wishing someone could hear their fears. They came with a habit that was rude, They came with a method that was crude. Full was the day when all was cool, Fool was he came here to crook. Just another day in Johanessburg! Just another day in South Africa! |

Young Forever: Today! Another year in your life. May you open your eyes And see the signs of victory. May you open your ears And hear the song of victory. Be young forever, forever young. Today! Another year in your life. May you stand up And face the challenges of life. May you sit On all obstacles of progress. Be young forever, forever young Today! Another year in your life. May you be an achiever And not a receiver. May you be an independant And not a dependant. Be young forever, forever young. Today! Another year in your life. May you be victorious forever May you be progressive forever May you be an achiever forever May you be independent forever May you be youthful forever Young forever, forever young. The Rain: We sailed the field with careful strokes. Right in the paths of meandering stoves The folding fields of endless straws Reflecting rays of wondrous skies Cloudy glitterings above the plants Proudly we moved across as planned The lovely skies began to change The more we closed the grounds at range The peaceful ones of heavens roared The peaceless ones of us got scared Took shade under the roof off pour At last the rain began to pour |

Ambition: Higher, higher we will fly Above the edge of victory sky May our names live through time Be told in the story of time Deeper, deeper we will sail Into the sea great people fail To rip the knowledge there may be Become great people we may be Further, further let us toil Into the mines of knowledge Greater, greater let us coil And make great minds of knowledge Wait of Waits:: My --. Do not know what to call you, Still my heart weeps, my feelings mourn, passion sweeps through me like boats glide across the sea, What did I do wrong?; I wonder I have had a very long wait. An endless Wait A life of Wait, A wait full of Boredom How I wish today was just Alfa. I sit in front of my computer to work, My mind derails, My mind unveils, My mind wanders, My mind wonders, All I think of, is you. WHERE ARE YOU? IT HURTS Hail Angel: Hail Angel, The comforter of Libido, We climb the mountain with same heartbeats, We toil and spoil together, We explore, exploit all crevices. Gradually mounts the pitch of the peak, Gradually we approach the Cresendo Then the sound of sweating knees, Then the drops of salty rain. We grap and clap with gripping hands. We guess and gasp as unity The inner stream within us boils, To the bridge of Explosion. Energy flows in successive expirations. Gradually the pitch demounts, As we approach the Demuendo. It was a dance only rabbits know, It was a dance, swept man away, And brought the beast in him aware. |
