Heritage my heritage

 

Where art thou heritage
Your beauty lies in the streets
Wandering around
It's the streets
Your beauty lies in the food
Food so sensible
In the moon
Your existence lies in the structures
Structures that are built from culture!
Heritage my heritage
Where art thou heritage
It's in the dance that we skip
It's in the lives that we live
It's in the stories that we share
It's in the logs that we lure
Heritage my heritage.
Where art thou heritage
The indigenous trees
Fall across alien species
They sit in busk in the streets
They ponder over the sheets
.they grow older and wiser
In the Leeds
They shrink slower and better in the needs
The morning dew in disbelief
They wake always in real belief
Heritage my heritage
Where art thou heritage
The land, rivers, seas includes the valleys that stream
The arid dessert includes the plants that leak
The braais involve the people who speak
The speed humps help the drivers that speed
The police prevent people that sleep
The events play something that creeps
Heritage my heritage
Where art thou heritage
It's finally combining
It's finally reminding .
That the heritage we have has many stories missing!

I see a different you

I see a different you In the way you speak, the way you scream and the way you dream I see a different you in your originality, individuality and uniqueness I see a different you in your sense of style, your walk and glide and the way you slide I see a different you in the way you smile, the way you're shy and the way you try I see a different you in your eyes and the way your voice curls up like a chocolate swirl I see a different you in your sunrise and sunset, in the woods and the vines, in the leaves and the figs , in your trees and your desert I see a different you in your prize and your light In your colour and your pride In your fortunes and your shed and the poor that lay spread I see a different you working toward a purpose, working to get that meal, that sleep and that sheet I see a different you starving from love , trust and hope that one day just one , Would believe and take that risk To have faith in you again. I see a different you, A vibrant you , Re...
