Nobody has it easy, nobody's immune

Life's challenges come for everyone, sooner or later, it's true

We all wear masks to hide our fears

And sometimes, our struggles bring us to tears

But in the midst of the chaos and strife

We find our strength, our will to thrive in life

We learn to face our demons, to rise above

And find our voice, our power, our endless love

We discover scars that never fully heal

And wounds that leave their marks, and make us feel

Like we're alone in our struggles and our pain

But we're not alone, for we're all in this game

We're all works in progress, imperfect and flawed

But in our vulnerabilities, we find our strength empowered

We learn to embrace our imperfections, our quirks and our flair

And find beauty in the brokenness, the scars that we bear

So let's embrace our struggles, our scars and our flaws

And support each other, through life's joys and laws

No need for guns or masks to hide our face

Let's stand together, in this human race

With every step, with every fall

We rise up stronger, we learn to stand tall

We find our way, through the darkness and the light

And discover our true strength, in the midst of the fight.

Abongile's Clarion Call to Rise: (Nakhane)

In South Africa's wounded soul,

Where rainbow dreams are tainted by a painful role,

A young heart beats, a spirit whole,

Abongile's voice echoes, a clarion call to unfold.

A pen flew

Ringing a temple bell

One hand raises, voices swell

The power of their lips in black and white.

A loud voice echoes Nakhane! (Build one another)

Against the darkness that enthralls,

The stigma that shames, the hate that appalls,

Communities impacted with HIV and AIDS,

Albinism and Beyond, Homosexuality, single mothers, and dysfunctional families, anew.

Nakhane!

Lift my struggles, wipe my tears

Sit at my table, fix my crown

For my smile is a mask of pain (Build one another)

Rape culture's scars, a wound that won't heal

A nation's silence

When the ice is broken!

But still we rise, with every breath

A drumbeat resounds, a rhythm of defiance and death

Nakhane! (Build one another)

With every word, a spark ignites

A fire of vibrant hope, A shameless rainbow

A fire of hope, a burning light

Melting chains, Breaking the mold, unleashing the power of a people bold

Nakhane! (Build one another)

In this maelstrom of emotions, we're swept away

By the torrent of truth, the power of Nakhane's sway

A call to action, a beacon of light

Guiding us through the Valleys of Injustice.

A lion roars, his voice takes flight

A fiery passion, a burning light

Illuminating the path through the darkest night

Leading us forward to a brighter light

Nakhane!!! (Build me too)

With every word, a spark ignites

A fire of vibrant hope, A shameless rainbow.

A fire of hope, a burning light

Melting chains, breaking the mold, unleashing the power of a people bold

We rise, unbroken, unshaken

Our voices loud, our hearts unchained

We shatter the silence, we shatter the pain

We rise, and our freedom reigns

Nakhane!

Let's connect the rainbow pattern together.

"Reflections of the Divine" "(Heads)"

He created them to cherish, love, and protect us.

Aren't they protectors?

Yet, they think we're the fountains of their splash.

In the beginning!!!

The Word was God, and the Word was with God.

Through them, I envisioned a beautiful image of God, and I smiled.

But then,

I was reminded of how I was made,

Taken from his ribs as a helper, a companion, a true friend.

He's the image of Almighty,

And I bow in reverence.

Dear God, I suffered at the hands of my protector.

He stripped my hope, broke my esteem, and scrambled my heart.

He became the weapon formed against me,

Feasting on my pain, finding joy in my despair.

Forgive me

For my mind is flooded with struggles.

I yearn for a helper, made in the image of the unseen.

But he's the one who's broken my soul, devoured my spirit, and crushed my heart.

I've built a sapphire cage, where my trust is arrested.

I want no leader to break in,

No more suffering to endure.

He created them to cherish, love, and protect.

Aren't they protectors?

Yet, they think our faces are the nature of waterfalls.

Woke up and did, what I do once in a while 😊

RISING FROM THE ROOTS

"(I got it)"

Through the cracked windows of my eyes,

In the roots of my once-crashed life,

I watched!

As it bled from being fed toxins,

Longing to heal,

But my hands were tied.

I heard deep screams???

Of its despair.

A helpless...

Unconscious soul in pain.

But God revived.

Healed,

And stabilized.

Now it's back!

Perfect, whole again.

I've got it!

And I'll hold it tight.

A phoenix risen,

Shining with new light.

"Wild Pieces"

In the whispers of forgotten memories, I find

A marriage born of practicality, not romantic design

A union built on commitment, loyalty, and trust

A partnership that flourished, though feelings were a must

Nine years of growth, of goals achieved and dreams pursued

Through laughter and tears, a bond was strengthened, not seduced

A love that blossomed slowly, like a garden in the night

Nurtured by dedication, shining with a gentle light

In the whispers of forgotten memories, I find

A story of devotion, of hearts and minds entwined

A tale of two souls, who chose to stand as one

A testament to the power of love, when hearts are won
