UNISON

It was the 4th of June not just another day
Just a month away from hot hot May

It was written on the cards way before then
Waiting for winter was an option in vain

Still the loved ones came all the way
Thats all we had to pray

Happiness of people I cannot explain
My own joy I could not contain

Seeing my sister leave I had to deal with the pain
Having been the best man I only had to gain

Memories of that amazing time
Cocktails and brunches celebrated in kind

Two lovers in total unison
Taking life to a whole new level

I wished them well that same day
Wishes still go on everyday

Here's to my favourite couple
Congratulations on your double!

LONE

I have burst the bubble of travelling alone

And I tell you it can turn addictive

No one to please but you

No one to cheat but you

No one to nag but you

No one to fare but you

When you see things in this light

You can go ahead and treat your love right

Diversity cannot be ignored

The fate of the world hangs by that bone

There is so much to see in this forsaken world

Which when you do see is not forsaken at all

Survival the only instinct, greed the only vice

Pass through these and your world gets alive

Sit for hours

Sleep for none

Drink for hours

Eat for none

Walk for hours

Rest for none

No one around to bug you to death

The dogs here become your best friends

God gave me a mind

To think beyond life

Folks gave me education

To understand life

If I'm alone how do things change?

People behave as if I'm some renegade

Writing isn't easy the people should know

You need to think to pen something bold

What will you think in this mundane city?

Traffic, people, it’s all a big kitty

Open spaces with mountains in view

Throw a river in there and see it bloom

Embrace such beauty there is nothing bad

Do it once it might just become a fad

WOMAN

You're the one hope the world has

Bearing life is just ONE of the biggest things you do

Your quirkiness, your naughtiness

Can shake the very structure of man

Your mood swings, your tantrums

Would surely shake every man

For any lad been shattered by a woman

Cannot claim to not jump to another

Hating your kind can lead us nowhere

Gracing your kind would take us somewhere

The role of a mother, the role of a sister

Can never be replaced by any father or brother

The role of a wife, or that of a girl

Surmounts anything us thickheads have ever known

Without you we'd know not where to turn to

Without you we'd even be lost in a queue

I know my kind and it’s hard to defend

For just one thing we will pretend

The sickening atrocities you have to bear

The compassion you show in spite of that

Your kind leaves this yearning within

Here's my due to all that has been

OPEN

Open your ears

And look into my eyes

How long can you do this?

Itching to tell a lie

The toughest thing in the world is listening

Even if nothing else is glistening

Spilling my heart all over the floor

You're still wondering, "Where is the door?"

Pick up your shit and strut away

I'll use my words and let 'em sway

The freedom I feel when I write

Nothing can replace it even if I don't try

Its a release like no other

While issues like you are dealt in order

Stamped in my memoirs if not my memory

God willing someday you understand this

Cause there will come a time

When the sides are switched

All you'll say then, "What a bitch!"

Knock around for humanity to step in

It's too late now the world has changed
