I am like a ghost


I am like a ghost gliding unperceived,

I am like a pariah wondering unreceived.

How can they receive what they can't perceive?

Every good work done goes unseen.

When I burst in anger it morphs into a sin.

But why, why can they not appreciate, appreciate all these efforts?

The god within me retreats back home.

Bruised and hurt by the foolish

He can only forgive, forgive them they can't perceive.

So they will never receive what I give.

Ever since I learnt how to write I never stopped writing short stories, poems and ideas. I am from Africa living in South Africa, Joburg. I am a business man with a love for music and writing. Its lovely how a poem can be turned into a song. Rhythm and Words are my closest friends. I respect The Sound of Life and the power in following your Heart which makes Music till the day you die.
