REPLAY



INTRODUCTION:
Whenever we sit and think,
Our thoughts do stink
For we reminisce on the grief
Than the bliss
The sad times
Than the happy rhymes
Why recall the negative
When we can smile in nostalgia on the positive side of life

1
Once in a while
It could be in a day time
We sit and watch the time
Brooding over a re-occuring line
But then, why?
Do all our thoughts end in a bad rhyme
We never recount the jolly days
Only the saddest and worse phase
What of the day, we won our first game
Instead of the break, that leaves the heart not the same

2
We remember the losses
Carry our burdens like crosses
Clouding and discarding memories
Like a pack of cards in tosses
What of the time we met our first love
But no, no its the patches we solve
Letting the euphoric feelings dissolve
Hard-hearted pessimistic wretch, we evolve
Never at the bright side
The hand that was there during the waving tide
Or the mouth that served as a tour guide

3
We focus on the blame
The past in shame
Not even a glance at the fame
We put our lives in disarray

4
Remember that great car
Amazing songs with a guitar
The ones that call you ma, or pa
Others screaming how far
Do you recall the brightness of the star
Rather than the darkness of the Night Mars (Moon)

5
Sadly enough,
As I write, I can hardly recount
The good stories I should give account
Horrid ones creep in horror
Occupying my mind in acres
I can hardly breathe
Yet I give advice in seethe

6
Baby wake up and see
Don't live your life in grief
Open your heart to the optimistic belief
Sit and reminisce
On all the beauty in the life that you live

CHOPPED WOOD

They chopped it down Then thought it was over The tree is gone No place to call a home Take the wood into the fire Let it burn to ashes We will never hear of it again In this I wept Who will save the soul The soul left to rot on the wood The chopped wood In a trance, Like a flash I saw the curtain tear in half A mighty wind was here But how will everything become one piece? Suddenly, From the ashes,  The roots stretched From the earth, it rose The great tree of steel never to die anymore 3 days was all it took They never expected this Once a rejected wood now the choicest furniture My Jesus hung on the tree Has risen to set me free Freeborn, new born.  So I celebrate this grace, hallelujah.

OBLIVION

She was out later than usual. She just had a lot of work to cover so she could earn more and rest too. She never stayed out this late. As a single mum, in a new town, she made sure she was always available for her eleven year old Misheal.   It started as a light shower, then a heavy downpour. Disappointed looking at her titanium plated wristwatch which was already washing off, she checked the time at the same time recalling when she first got the watch.   It was a lovely Sunday afternoon. Elvis hurried to meet up with her from his recess. He bought her lunch, a plate of chicken and fries with a cup of cappuchino her favourite.   She was overjoyed when she saw the simple gift. Even though it was not worth much, but coming from Elvis even in the midst of the financial crisis he faced, it was everything.  " You didn't have to do this Elvis." She said half smiling, mouth agape, fingers covering her mouth hiding her expression.  "I'd do anything for you Ma ...

THE WAR

            THE WAR ...And that was how the war started. Gun shots everywhere, commotion, fire, people screaming. I woke up in shock wondering if it was a dream. My mum was heavy with my brother. Dad was trying soo hard to get the family together.    Mother snatched me from the bed, strapped me on her back. Dad held her hand and we made for the exit.    Mum was very heavy, fat, swollen and big bellied. I fear for how she will make it.   Admist screams and panic, my dad ran with mum and I into the wild for safety.   At that point, I recalled my favourite song and started singing. Dad placed a palm on my mouth with a stern face which meant I should keep shut. I smiled wondering why I could not sing in the midst of the fire works.   Mum shrieked in pain. "What is it Honey?" My dad asked "I think I'm losing him" my mum replied. "O God not now" my dad whispered in frustration. "What do you need? What can I do t...
