I ONCE SAT DOWN
I once sat down
And bombarded my little head
Questions! questions! questions!
Why the planet was under siege
Friends turning to foes
Whose fooling who?
I once sat down
And questioned the sanity
Of the ancient philosphers
Of their teachings and preachings
Of this decadent age
I once sat down
And listened to the bloody cries
Weeping and wailing
Wriggling and writhing
Of mama Africa
Her voice echoing from the caves
Of Kilimanjaro
To the plains of the Seringeti
I once sat down
And authored a theory
Into why we have no harmony
Sombre songs we sing with symphony
War songs we cry with jubilation
I once sat down
And spat on the ground
That change would be
Before it dried
And none shall be
To diminish
Mother Africa's pride

HEART HUNGER
An aching need that only you can fill;
No doctor can help, no serum or pill.
My heart yearns for the love you provide;
Only you can make this aching subside.
Just another glimpse of your lovely face,
All of my worries and cares will erase.
You are the light in my darkest hour;
You are the fairest, most fragrant flower.
Now my dreams center on you;
You change gray skies to fairest of blue.
How can you doubt my love's power?
My heart hungers for you every hour!
I love you more with each passing day;
My love is true, and I'll never stray.
Our love will weather the passing of years;
The good and the bad, the shedding of tears.
So come take my hand, my one true love,
And together we'll soar through worlds above.
No other woman could capture my heart;
Now that I've met you, we'll never part.
