Tossed with neutral hope out of a kind hand,
Towards an uncertain future.
I don't need much, not much at all,
A little sun,

The gong of the sun rises upon a dusty plain where comparitive kids join to welcome the heat haste day.
They are unwashed by waters and standards of civility, but when they play they hug the world and their laughter creates a tune.
As the hot pots of pap simmer in the rays of the eye in the sky, mothers wash small babies under dripping taps of little water
Their love escapes them as they carress these little beings with kisses and song, as babies giggle and look up to the heavens with a twinkle in their eye

But light is there in all its glory,
I fight my flesh because He is worthy.

Arch your back for a familiar God.
Mechanised reasoning
Conditioned thinking
Expected speeches

Look at that poor child
He is the face of Africa!
Black, snot-nosed, hungry and filthy.

I woke once to a scream of terror.
The people crowned him with a tyre and set it alight.
I heard too how they cursed him

With down turned eyes.
I scrape together what is left of my courage to
Face the truth and it is too much to bear.

I view you from a safe distance,
As you display yourself.
Your waves.
Your shore.

But the beat was dead.
Once it gave life to a warm womb
That is now a cold tomb.
