My Essence


Times in life become so intense

Man with evil deeds and needs

Lives by time ruined in ignorance

Humans so vile leads and succeeds

Why am I so shattered by their arrogance

Fools seem to enjoy their foolish deeds.

 

Through out my existence 

I have always pondered

Upon the lies and the truth

Is God really the essence?

I closed eyes and wondered

Wanting my wisdom tooth

Does it even make any sense

In the wilderness I wandered

Out there He was my Truth

Hardened is their circumstance

With pride they are squandered.

They will face His fierce wrath.

 

I know who is my root

I will never rot.

The one who ties the knots

None can break his bonds

He fills everything

He feels everything

He knows everything

He does everything

He is everywhere.

He hears everything

He fears nothing.

 

My essence

Your patience is out matched

My Father

My home by You is thatched

My Mother

My torn clothes by you are patched

My Brother

My stolen belongings you fetched

No other

Can ever take your place

Why Bother

Looking for someone else?

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.
