UNLOCK thy MIND PART. 1

I write this piece atop my head 

Thoughts my own, in ink I shed 

Selfless at heart 

But restless at mind 

None the less 

my matter on earth 

Is kin and flesh

My dreams be blessed

Stress? Yes, stressful indeed

Feeding them knowledge but they ate the seed 

Reaping a harvest with plans to secede 

Flawed is the cycle of poverty’s greed 

Pick the poet’s pocket of keys

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, MY MIND UNLOCK 

The day we realized that there’s more which unites us than that which separates us

When we come to see one another as brothers and sisters instead of enemies

Friends and not foe

Only then can we truly unlock our potential

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, OUR MINDS UNLOCKED

Regardless of region, creed, faith or colour

Not even tribes that pit one v. the other  

Put down your weapons, together is power 

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, YOUR MINDS UNLOCKED

Envisioning days

Fine as the braids on an African girl 

That render me speechless at her natural curls 

Scripture says her body is a temple

But society deems my worship as sinful

There’s more to her than beauty

If my lust for her intelligence was crime, then sue me

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, HER MIND UNLOCKED

I’m just a man, screaming carpe diem till I’m dead

She told me I was timeless, but left mans on read 

Gentle men are victimized at an all time high but not I 

Sichilongo won’t that let BS that fly  

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, HIS MIND UNLOCKED

My protest is peaceful 

But ign’ance is blissful

Sleep not on issues as though they afflict you

Some claim indifference I call it stupid 

Because you’re in bondage must I really prove it 

wake up 

If you’re woke then good morning 

Yell out with knowledge to keep them from snoring 

Full in the tummy from this food for thought

UNLOCK, UNLOCK, ALL MINDS UNLOCKED

To each their own and peace for all. 

To each their own may joy bestow. 

Let none restrain thee, from a flourish that’s meant to be. Thyself included amongst the sights to see. 

Mere humans as we, the voyage of life is but a tree. 

Growth

Stay rooted in faith, if not in powers beyond at least in thyself. 

I say to thee, troubles will come and hardship will strike but be not unsettled for a greater measure of contentment is forever in your grasp.

A cheerful soul born of positive thoughts,

 Test my emotion with many a choice.

Eternally joyed because I’m smitten with Earth. 

A smile in my sky and the sun on my face. 

Where did I find this heavenly place? 

Beyond all the clouds, pearl at its gates. 

Between then and now there might be some pain, but peace will be yours just give it your all.

Once now and then remember your goals. 

When time comes to score, shoot well your shot.

THE WORLD IS YOURS
