A song for my soul

you long so much to open up like the petals of a flower gasping to bloom yet you coil like a shy plant for the fear of judgment you wish to forgive all the hurts and heal and not remember them too  but the mind cannot conquer  the past nor the future  But one day  fear will leave and forgiveness shall live

The balaclava man

Took the heart and the mind Stirred the soul Mercy! Mercy! The soul belongs elsewhere Though I don’t know where Stood ten men put together Gave strength which was asleep for too long Restored dreams and desires Loves many I was told But it does not discourage me I must believe what I instill ‘If you truly wish for something It comes to you somehow’ I don’t know how But it sure will be a moment Of flesh and blood Of the unending hope Not for any earthly desire Not for lust Not for love A journey I will make To meet the dream The balaclava man 30 June 07

The Dust

The dust! For you 'we sacrifice' they say and they kill in our names For your future 'we stand' they say But they don't want to listen to our voices When we speak our minds They say we are too difficult Never give up they say But they don't teach us hope They have shut their eyes their ears too We plead 'talk' They leave us bleeding They talk of the historical and political truths We know it too Brother it is not that speck of dust in your brothers' eye It is the plank in yours!  15 Jan 2008
