READING AND WRITING

So I told my brothers and sisters move on
Turn the television off
Get a better coverage
They only broadcast to the average
Because the truth ain't televised
It's in books on old shelves where cobwebs dwell
Not the TV guides with the critics critiquing.
In the Bible, the History books they deleting.

So I urge the youth to be young yet old
Don't be gullible like a mind on coke
The truth is always in the print
So even the message on the box is a gimmick
To a soul smoking its last stick
Reading and writing saved slaves...Word!
So my pen never left a page blank
Now I dribble on PCs and Macs

So I tell the eager mind to search
Search high,low, space and Earth
Knowledge is infinity laziness terminal
Ignorance before sunset is abominable
So I am cursed with the gift of writing
So my mind under a spell of letters
So I spit it out raw uncooked and true
You can put them in books or...
in your favourite song hooks.

LION PAW

You can't squeeze a lion's paw
You can't mute a lion's roar
Take a walk in my Pride
This beast cant be denied

You won't see a lion fall
Four mounted feet of awe
Take a stand in my ground
This is where courage is found

You can't scare a lion off
I stand South and look North
Take a glimpse of my vision
This is poetry in motion

You can't tame a lion
It does as it will
I will scratch, bite and roar
If you try to squeeze my paw
