War on Injustice

You think you slick,
you think you slippery,
yet we going to get you.
No matter where you from
no matter where you hide:
behind the collar,
behind the stripes,
behind the color,
we going to fight you.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

Your skin can't trick me.
Your speech can't fool me.
And your bars can't hold me.
If you are white,
if you are black,
brown or yellow
just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

If you a baby killer,
a woman beater,
ethnic cleanser,
or a Jew hater:
we are going to fight you:
with pens,
with fasting,
with prayers,
We are going to fight you:
with love,
with the body and the blood.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

We are not going to sit at the corner
while you take us to the coroner:
we keep the land,
we keep the peace,
we keep Jerusalem,
we keep the temples.
Just so you know,
Injustice,
this is war.

Plato

Injustice is censured because the censures are afraid of suffering, and not from any fear which they have of doing injustice.

A Youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era and of 1976

The difference between a youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era
And the youth of 1976

1976 Their daily bread was not yet sovereignty
And singing not yet uhuru
They heard a smell of injustice in old uniform
Rebellious against it everywhere and anywere!
They fought injustice with their lives
they fought every inhuman out of human

A youth of Janice Bronwyn Linden era
They sing not yet developed
And they have a freedom in their lifetime.
The streets are as they where in 1976
And the dust is still unsettled.

I sense a feeling of corruption, maqhabane!
Unruly against all those championing liberation
And defy them against all odds!

The class of 1976 died for justice
And youth Janice Bronwyn Linden dies for injustice.
A justice in injustice uniform.

Unrelenting Fury

There is nothing wrong,
In the overhearing of incorrect information.
That is done all the time.
However...
It is the taking of that information,
To spread and speak of it as factual...
That eventually backfires with a releasing,
Of unrelenting fury...
People find themselves unable to defend.
Or...
Know just where to begin to end it.

Picking right side

Why do we keep silence
And keeping silence means
Giving a chance to injustice
Ruled over justice.

Picking the right side
between justice and injustice
Is moral and legal responsibilities
In the present time of global crisis.

Epigram On Dido

When Dido found Aeneas could not come,
She mourned in silence, Dido diddle dumb,
He sailed half-mast away demeanour glum,
demeaned, her mind inclined four fingers, thumb: -
for lex in sex sends hex, backfires when drum
not gun is wanked, unthanked man droops, the sum
of impoliteness and poor taste where mum
maid must remain without becoming mum!

Impossible!

it is impossible to believe in compassion,
and to just stand by watching injustice upon
injustice being heaped on the backs of the poor!

it is impossible to be spiritual without being
human enough to feel the hunger of the hungry!
impossible to believe in love without being angered

when you see countless people being thrown
away and cast to the side like human trash!
it is impossible to remain silent when you can

hear the thundering tears of the children!

Evil is seen,

Evil is seen,
Evil is seen,
Always from what People do,
Most of them still Cannot Believe it,
My Spiritual Being saw alot of Evil from the Earthly dwelling,
Living that I may see the Evil from the Other Side,
Mankind is Ruined with Injustice,
In all Matters that lead to Success,
It is my own Being that Suffered to reach this Level,
My God is not Unjust,
It is by His Love that I see Mercy and Grace,
Moving on Forward than Ever Before,
There is alot of Evil seen on Earth,
I have seen what Mankind hast Done,
Realised that they all Fail by their own yoke of Injustice.

Flames of Injustice

Above tyrannical skies.
Visions forsaken men can see.
Vehemently staring up high.
At divinity setting him free.

No perseverence in turmoil.
He has seen no light in his wake.
Grasping at the burning soil.
Fearing eternity's plague.

Angels do mock him above.
Oh, the same mocked him as a child.
Writhing with those that he loved.
Oh, the flames of injustice, so vile!

His tormenters now frolic in Heaven.
While himself and his brethren face Hell.
As the halls of oppression stand rotten.
Injustice tolls it's putrid bell.

Confession

I write

and I can also fight.

I fight for injustice.

I fight for sarcastic

and mislead of your mentality (incapability to fight for injustice) .

I am the protector of a devout,

at the same time, I bend my head in front of a scout.

You will see a' spark.'

A spark, which is unbeatable

because something is going intolerable....

You say, ' Humanity is a gift of the God.'

Yes, that's right.

So, I want to fight

for what gone to unfair.

Manpower has been corrupted in every layer (most of us are selfish) .

To die before death

is no doubt great

for those who the fellow of regret.

Ear-less will never realize it.

Thereby, I shall have to fight.

Please stand by me,

and, we shall again see

a prestigious, theistic world.....,

Yes, this is me. (but I am a simple and well - tempered boy)

The AntiChrist Lives...

the AntiChrist lives...
in the harsh decisions
made by your callous leaders.
in your turning of the head,
and closing of the eyes,
as injustice is piled upon injustice.
in the countries you invade,
in those you imprison without cause...
in those you let go hungry,
in the sick you do not care for.
in your prejudices and righteous judgements,
in the closed minds of your fundamentalist fervor.
in your closed doors, closed borders,
in your profit at all costs.
in your churches, in your courtrooms,
in your fear to touch the untouchables!
the AntiChrist lives...
in the well dressed faces of apathy
that haunt your mirrors!

Politicians Servants Of The People The Nation

white collar crime is
immoral an injustice
that many countries

have corrupted allowed
to breed multiply infest
their codes legal systems

bedrock middle working classes
should both teach their children
honour pride dignity of honest

workers is never for sale
politicians are servants
of the people the nation

their goal in politics
cannot be to amass
wealth for themselves

at the cost of a nations
pride causing poverty
for our fellow citizens
