You Don’t Care

No matter how hard I stare
I can’t see nothing nowhere
If only, if only you would care

I warn my heart to beware
But it keeps going back there
Hoping one day you might care

I search low, high, far and near
I search here, there, everywhere
I pray, but you still don’t care

I hoped you had some love to spare
The chambers of your heart are bare
I begged, but you still won’t care

I can’t figure out this affair
No god can answer my prayer
Nothing I can do to make you care

Now you act as if I’m not there
You have deleted the way we were
I know, I know you just don’t care.

Do Or Die

Some people fly too close to the sun
Some people lose control, crash and burn
Most people don’t even get off the ground

Most people live a life they hate, crushed by Fate
Do nothing, happy with what is placed on their plate
The treadmill wears out those who leave it too late

Decide now, cut the strings of the puppet masters on high
Decide now, learn the rules, take control, the time is nigh
Rise up like a god and fly , or lay down like a dog and die.

Empty Sky

What can I leave you?
Now that you don’t want me to stay
What can I give you?
Something that you won’t throw away
Now that you don’t want me or my love
Nothing left, I point to the sky above

Use the empty sky as a blank canvas
I know you can paint a masterpiece
I have faith in your gifts, I confess
One day we will both find peace
I give you more than just an empty sky
One thing to remember each other by

Paint fluffy white clouds floating in blue
Wave your hand to set off a gentle breeze
Paint birds on the wing, singing in praise of you
Sunshine yellow, the whole rainbow, pretty please
Hang the moon and stars where you will
My god, it is your empty sky to fill

I will raise my hands high to touch
The caress of your breeze, your sun on my face
Raise my hands when I miss you too much
Bless your moon glowing on my dark space
I gave you an empty sky pole to pole
You have filled it with your beautiful soul

Now that I am on the other side of the world
I too will stand under that same sky
Whenever I think of my beautiful, baby girl
Every day and night, to remember you by
I cannot look into your wonderful eyes
But I can look up at your wondrous sky.

Silence

Silence has been the biggest curse of my life
Thoughts not given voice, constantly repressed
Emotions never shown, or simply expressed
Silence cuts deeper than any butcher knife.

Read Your Job Description

Read your job description :
Co-ordinate various departments to run smoothly
Collect taxes and decide which percentages to allocate
It is not rocket science, it is not charity
But you still fail to do that honestly
I pay you tax, and ask you to be fair
You make speeches, blatant lies, all your policies
Bear witness to the fact you do not care
Slow turning of the screw you call austerity

The lower class, the weak, the disabled are hammered
Your own kind are given even more toys
You spout vomit, and spin the truth for your profit
Shove a plug in it, read your job description
I pay you tax, to make your job easier
Create an environment for the economy to flourish
Create jobs so people can make an honest living
Provide for their families, and pay you more tax

Take a step back, read your job description
Do not tell us there are no more funds, your hands are tied
Defence, arm sales, national interest, national values
National diarrhoea, you want to stride the international stage
Pie in the sky for a jumped-up jerk-off
Office-wallah wannabe superstar who cannot act, sing, or dance
Go into politics — cameras, lights, flowery dialogue
No action, just words, lie after lie, to break the spirit

You little shit, it is not about your ‘legacy’
You are a pigme who breaks wind for a living
You stink to high heaven, pure and simple, there is no denying
Stick to the basics, read your job description;
Who do you think comes first? Me or you?
What’s more important? Your snowflake schemes?
Or me working, putting food on the table, taking care of my family
Raising my children, making possible all their dreams?
Get the picture? Or do you only get painting by numbers?

You are not qualified to make decisions on my life
You are not authorised to decide without my permission
I did not vote you in to misuse my tax money
Your job is limited to provide me with services I pay for
I voted you in to delegate certain tasks to you
Do not do me any favours, read your job description
I pay taxes left, right, centre, I cannot move
Without paying a tax, in return I want to remind you
( You seem to forget on a regular basis, or you fail
To even understand ) read your job description

Your pea brain finds it too hard to comprehend?
When I turn the tap I want water to flow
When I flick the switch I want the light on
When I turn on the gas to cook, turn on the power
To heat my home, run my gadgets — I pay bills
Make sure the road is smooth when I drive
Make sure the traffic lights function correctly
Make sure the schools, hospitals, welfare, are up to standard
The refuse collection, fire service, the police — I pay tax

Your pee brain finds it too hard to understand?
Make sure the shops are fully stocked with goodies
Make sure there is sport, drama, other nonsense to entertain
Keep me distracted, happy, well-fed, warm and comfortable
Your pot belly leads the way, read your job description

It is not about you or your legacy — it is my money
You have not reached the pinnacle of anything
You are only there to provide me with a service
Stroke me, soft soap to satisfy, I pay you tax
It is NOT you, it is all about ME
You are a public servant
I am the public, you are my servant
Do your frigging job — SERVE ME!!
Pigmy, read your job description
Or I will vote you OUT.

I Try Not To

I try not to think of you
It hurts too much, the pain too hard to bear
I try not to think of you
In my heart I know, you do not care

The thought I cannot shake off
My weakness is the mistake that will cost
I am no longer worthy of your love
Pay the price, all is lost, all is lost

In the ash still are warm memories of you
I am living dead without you
My heart signals my mind to think of you
I try not to.

Jihad Personal

Jihad personal a struggle against worldly temptations
Jihad personal a discipline to strengthen your weakness

The one lesson learned from times of yore
If you want peace — prepare for war

Jihad personal prepares you against the enemy’s attack
Jihad personal trains you to defend by fighting back

Jihad personal prevents you from attacking without reason
Jihad personal prevents you from launching an invasion

Jihad personal studies hard to root out ignorance
Jihad personal trains hard to branch out radiance

Jihad personal, in spite of the fools, is not a political tool
Jihad personal, fully understood, the best qualified school.

Birth Right

Fight the good fight till the last breath
If you ever lose the ability to create
That paralysing block will seal your fate
The worst kind of torture — a living death.
