The Redemption

I am clean’, I tell her

Lain on the wet grass

‘I am ready messiah.’

Even then her eyes burn with love-

As she washes me with kerosene.

Her touch so tender and caring-

At the sight of my bare body.

She kisses my forehead lightly

As I quiver and whisper,

‘Let me meet my God’

                Fire flickers  as freight flys

                So Preaches the pest plight

Life the price for salvation

Comforted within by the thought of THE saviour

Ah… preferred by Her among the heretics

Among them I stand chosen!

Carrying offerings to the lord above,

Holiness showered over me

Take me messiah, by fire and ice

Take me messiah by blade or venom.

Fire flickers as freight flys

                So preaches the pest plight

Standing… the anointed, Goal… divinity.

One last kiss form the Christ

Before facing the gate way of flames

To my destiny, God beyond

I trust and believe.

Thus the fire flickers, I am brave

The plight pests no more.

The flames wash me eternaly

As I walk in to Gods arms.

I can tell you

I can tell you this, I can tell you that,

I can tell you all that I know but to what end?

I can tell you all, you may hear me

You may not listen to the hymns played by the voiceless.

I would lecture you on the struggles that the children live through

But its subject to your will to lend me your ears if you may.

But years come and go, just as fast as seconds tick-tock

As one talks of testimonies never heard before

So we speak of torments never heard before.

We preach of the street kid turned pastor.

Preaching the truth in the street,

trying to treat the unsaid.

Vacalization battles with academia

That’s how simple voices become stale

Speak for the young as a literal taboo.

So we dance to our ancestors rhymes.

And move to our ancestors beats.

Beats beginning at the birth of our path-

Beats dying at the end of our path.

What more can I say?

Shall we all shut our ears?

Keeping secrets for all these years.

As part of us  drains…

My love holds me close, I can feel them close.

My heart calms me, I feel them in me.
