Leaving Alive
I ran the race
It was my life
A race inside a maze
Speed can only get you lost
Losing brings disgrace
Needs can only get you lost
Winning takes a certain pace
Losing is easy, look at most
Who now have shame on their faces
A real winner doesn't lose
And not all victories are really victories
Nothing is certain and nothing is final
When I go back to the start
Which is when I depart
I will live this earth alive
Full of life and wisdom.

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.
