The weirdest thing happens to me. / Every time I keep hitting rock bottom hard. / People seem to take advantage of my generosity. / What am I doing wrong? / Cut on your loss I figure. / What does that mean really? / I can see in people's eyes they do not care. / For me is like biting off a huge chunk of…  sign in to read more »


»A Tour Of Africa«

by Thabani Ray Ngwenya, Sep 17, 2009

None of the finest artists' impressions / Can sufficiently portray the beauty / Of Mother Virgin Africa / A land of people defined by culture and custom / Some call it the cradle of mankind / I am delighted to simply say "Motherland." / / Africa's tomorrow is like the sun / Whose place in the heavens can…  sign in to read more »

by Filiberto Rodriguez, Aug 13, 2009

I didn't know daybreak was dawn. / You would know dusk to twilight. / I always knew dawn as the early civilization of history. / I was about to take in a new lesson. / As it happens. / I didn't take my sleeping pill- / I woke up after midnight to find myself eating 4 waffles with syrup. / Hey, I am hungry…  sign in to read more »

»Finally Home«

by Raine Lariza, Mar 20, 2009

I have seen so many faces / I have been into many places / Different walks of life I have seen / But still confused on what's been missing / / Searching for the empty part that fills my heart / Hoping that one day I will never be apart / Apart from someone I can call "home" / From each sad and happy…  sign in to read more »


»My South Africa«

Where the ancestor's spirits live forever / Saluting Madiba for his endeavour / Dawn of freedom colours the eastern sky / Awake South Africa it's my cry / Nation lazy and lethargic is a slave / A bright future is to save / Unity our hope to recoil / Rise my people it's time to toil. / / Where the Lions…  sign in to read more »
