We Are
.
We are who we are ~
But who are we?
The boy becomes a man,
The girl becomes a woman,
As a stick of wood becomes a tree.
We are all that we were,
Covered with layer upon layer,
Wrapped and swathed
By life’s encounters;
But still the child hid inside
Looks out from time to time
Marvelling at the changes,
The patterns wrought by us
For both good and bad
In this world gone mad!

Quote from
Nelson Mandela
Madiba – A Final Farewell
.
He was just a boy,
Born in the land ‘cross the Kei,
A boy who grew into a man,
A champion of democracy.
A man who noticed inequality,
Whose conscience was stirred
And who tried to change his world.
Madiba, we thank you,
You did your very best,
You became an icon,
But you were just a man,
Loved by all ~
But only a man.

If there’s a man on the moon
Is there a maid up there too?
Could it be me and you?
Both in tune?
On the moon?

Shades of green
and shades of blue
Shades of lies
and shades of truth
God draws the lines
between the two
.
Man empowers
them to blur
Casts his shadow
to block the view
Then claims he cannot
discern what’s true

Survival
To know that we have done our best,
Not just to survive and stay alive,
But to help others along the way –
That, to me, is the difference
Between man and the animals.
