Colours.






What if amber meant stop
red meant go
and green meant caution?
Then stop signs would be yellow.

What if green were blue
and blue was green?
Then blue would be caution
and the sky green.

What if brown was gold
and gold was black?
                           It is.

Livity.





Dear Life,

I must begin by stating how disappointed I am by you.
Your sweet aroma now dulled to the state of stale tobacco breath.
You continue to bless the blessed
& curse the already suffering.
You behave whorish
but unlike our beloved skanks
who will gladly hoe their non-elastic pussys
to any man
for the close to kind gesture
of two Blacks & a gwai
you reserve yours
for polygamous liars
who capitalise
on paraffin buyers
DINTSHANG?

Untitled…(Listen)






The problem is:
no-one wants to listen
but I’m on a mission
killing and dismissing
on your mind I’m just pissing
kaffir you’re fishing
no offence I’m just mixing
al hierdie worde is nou my kussing
thlaloganyo ya ka
ke re ga gona yo ya setseng
take a breather, I’m expecting
shit they are not getting
the mental blessing
but once upon a time
it was said
The problem is:
no-one wants to listen
listen, listen, listen….

Crime Creates.





A new beginning
forced by words stolen

A new beginning
initiated through soothing verbalization

A new beginning
once again back to front

A new beginning
granted poetic license

Love Doesn’t Die.






I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with lies

I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with alibis

I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with capitalist compromise

I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with spiritual demise

Due North.





Hate Race
Despise Demise
Create Debate
Deny Comply

I hope you are reading

Park a pen
Write a life
Mark a friend
Bite a time

I hope you are speaking

Storm Eternal.




A rain dropped life into vastness
and it was illumined
There…
where senses of long forgotten secrete themselves
where butterfly wings forge waves upon which galaxies surf
where the elephant’s brass melody ignites suns’ cores

A breeze blew song into vastness
and it was augmented
There…
where blinks of fluid colour array themselves
where trees lifted an epoch under which time rests
where alps’ unconfined capering pirouettes planets’ psyches

The clouds are calling
The sands are falling
The spirits are warming
Eternal storms.

Love :)





There was once a not so young man
living in a not so far land.
His life was not so average,
a pleasant being whose sole goal was to keep others happy and smiling.
He had a large heart
and wonderful mind,
which had both been tainted by the friends of Life,
Trial and Tribulation.
On a not so beautiful day
having a not so easy chat with himself
while sitting on a not so large rock
Love came by and asked the not so young man,

For Example…





Like no CD collection is complete
without Tumi at the Bassline
and The Decibels
As no Negro is educated
unless aware of the Mis-educated
Like no Autumn leaf hears a Birdland Lullaby
without changing chords
As no Rasta is such
with judgement in the pupil
Like no clique is unlike
a flock of birdbrains

listening to afternoon radio eng kgopotsa re gola

sporting the latest mgusha

concealing hairstyle
ka dinako tsa di peddle pusha le boom shaka
aowa, la tseba hore ke bolela ka'ng
re skoppa daai bolo to seek and hide bo black bai patileng
ke mmotse gore ong suna leng
phela nna ke tletse wena

ende g’dala si yi pusha le ndaba le
now they have cell phones®

Merry Christmas...





They say this is the time around which Jesus was born
They say we should celebrate this time with illustrious vacations and elaborate gifts for loved ones
They say our world should be decorated with glittery ornaments

After all that jazz... (June 16)






So it came and it went
Another holiday

So it came and it went
Another struggle

So it came and it went
Another life

El Reggae y el Hip Hop en Español: Tracing Reggaeton





El Reggae y el Hip Hop en Español

On tracing the history of Reggaeton, we need to follow the path of reggae and hip-hop, chronologically, from their creation to their present state[1].  In particular a look at how these genres affected urban music and were interpreted in Latin America.  Looking at the progress of both these genres in this manner will inevitably lead us to this new genre taking Latin America, and the world, by storm.

Back to the Future





A time will come when the world looks to the south for redemption.

I see,
in a different tomorrow,
Our future generations holding the great throne of peace.

Covenant



 We have been asked to put it to rest
Let it doss
As in intransitive verb
Allow it to sleep in rough or inexpensive accommodations
Reflecting upon it is evidently absurd
Nor should we be insulted by their suggestion’s denotation
