In the dark night I load rockets
In the dark night I load rockets
and stand away
while they are fired against the enemy
and I see them drawing red lines
with long flames
burning beyond them
and its like as a child
when I went to the drive-in
and saw how they shoot men off
into space,
on the way to the moon
but these rockets are aimed
at T55 tanks and BTR armoured cars
and soldiers of the Cuban and FAPLA enemy
that burn in unquenched flames
when at a distance the deadly arrows rain down
and I can smell the fragrance of death,
gunpowder and prosperous
on the evening breeze
while I watch the fireworks.

THIS DAY
It was inheritance of pain. I should
have known. Incontinent, she was scared
to hug me: the child, after the rape. Shepherding
the lacerations: petrified, a body of lad
floating in a sewage tank; a short circuit in
an incubator, row of infants, life snuffed out in flames;
of being. I want to know ontology, need a
spinal surgery; somebody wants to abort a fetus,
because of mistaken identity, an alien egg
was implanted; racing time, bitter and corrosive,
it happned for the first time; karma, you say.
I don’t agree, you need camel’s milk to clear
your thoughts, like clenched fist against the
darkness; the little child, lad, infants, mortality after
a wrong calculation; the test tubes and petri-dishes,
need despoiling while the soul screams in a
cage; I am ready to jump out of the window,
stories down on the legends, unburdened!

Only once in a lifetime
There is a kind of flower
that only once a year
opens her buds
and when the moon rises full and bright
shows her colours
while people await
the appears of her flowers
in silence in a temple
as if she is holy.
Only once in a lifetime
there is a girl that is like an angel
without any match
and that woman
I have found in you.

Night
The joy that you bring
when we are alone with one white candle
glowing in our room
while you draw me into a hot embrace
covers all other things,
even sand, grass, flowers and trees
that is outside,
causes me to want the sun
to leave the blue sky
to have you near to me
and to dream while you are here.

DYING SCREAMS
Shall we go like innocents with heavy
breathing in the pool of blood to find
the innerconnectivity of a boldly beautiful
death? In the open pit of an ancient gold mine?
There was a loss of hidden dance, in the
cancer striken human chain, chiseled on the
grey walls of history. The artifacts stolen, even
the ankle-bells of a toddler had gone up for a sale.
A visual oval gives a liable comment. A
flame nauseates a baby doll. The yellow hornbill
puts up a fight for the sake of memories.
There is a huge silence of the rocks, moaning inwardly
None of me was a god. A simple slum’s promised
dream.Hungry roads will lead to a ruined temple.

Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow
Tomorrow may be a day away, but will be just like today,
Another day to live for Christ, in this moment we call life,
Another day to follow God, led by Christ’s staff and rod,
A day similar in every way, to that one we call yesterday.
For time, they’re all cast, as present, future and the past,
The present is the day we live, often spoken of as a gift,
With the future yet to be, which, shall extend into eternity,
And behind us is the past, that time where memories last.
Though the past is behind, memories bring it to our mind,
Of that time we first believed, and the Savior we received,
Much of God we didn’t know, so the Lord helped us grow,
While learning to live this life, for The Savior, Jesus Christ.
In the present God uses us, all who belong to Christ Jesus,
As our life for God is unfurled, as His witness in this world,
Being a voice for God’s Word, to a world that hasn’t heard,
The Truth in God’s Revelation, leading to His only salvation.
Once in Christ they do believe, Eternal Life they will receive,
Life beyond this present time, all ordered by God’s Design,
As He leads us in tomorrow, in all that joy, pain and sorrow,
To a future with Jesus Christ, beyond today into eternal life.

Faithfully Sharing Truth
For our witness, a sure proof, is that we are walking in Truth,
Living out The Truths of God, wherever in this world we trod,
Abiding in The Lord Christ Jesus, in His Light as we witness,
As in our lives Truth is unfurled, amidst an unbelieving world.
It is God’s Truth we boast in, being believers saved from sin,
Our pride God will condemn, but, we boast Christ, to all men,
As God’s Truths drive our life, to draw others to Jesus Christ,
Displaying God’s faithfulness, to all men through our witness.
The mission we are to fulfill, is the sharing of Christ’s Gospel,
God’s Gospel of saving Grace, through The Lord, all by faith,
In a time with many deceived, we preach what we’ve believed,
Staying faithful to The Lord, in a world where Truth is ignored.
Beyond standing on The Word, our ways are not just inferred,
As Godly character is a must, when in God we place our trust,
With a walk in accord with the life, of our Savior, Jesus Christ,
Living out our life with integrity, as witnesses that all shall see.
Today, many profess to believe, on a path to simply deceive,
God’s Truth is all we must preach, to all God desires to reach,
Standing on the Only Foundation, Jesus Christ, our Salvation,
The Truth all men must believe, so eternal life they will receive.

I Have Learned
Though in life I become distraught, to me, The Lord God has taught,
Through all of my years and days, that He works in miraculous ways,
When the times may appear bleak, as I find myself emotionally weak,
My tendency is to be concerned, ignoring all from Christ I’ve learned.
I learned to rest and be assured, through all things, in Christ my Lord,
Who holds me in His mighty hand, through times I do not understand,
Taking me through that darker time, not of my choice, but His design,
While using my life just as He wills, as a greater, purpose God fulfills.
Concerns to worry we can’t afford, our focus must be upon The Lord,
Remembering the dark times past, all concerns to Him I need to cast,
Casting to my Savior my every care, as all concerns with God I share,
Or else undue concerns entangle us, this when we forget Christ Jesus.
Hard times, dark as they may be, are small steps, on towards eternity,
Steps, in which The Lord Jesus, is molding each and every one of us,
As God shapes us to be like Christ, through all current trials in our life,
Purifying us through our life’s fires, to become what The Lord desires.
So when times get hard, I recall, Jesus Christ, is still the Lord over all,
As the same God, Who created me, during all times, helps me to see,
His hand is in every step I take, knowing that my Lord will not forsake,
My side, as God helps me to stand, firmly in times I don’t understand.

Worship In Adversity
We worship even through adversity, God, Who controls all of eternity,
When we’re down and discouraged, we know, that God has not erred,
As through each trial He shall fulfill, in our life His Eternal, perfect will,
This, as God guides us in this life, through the Power of Jesus Christ.
When we are anxious and afraid, upon The Lord our concerns are laid,
Securing for us inner peace from Him, while in a world, marred by sin,
Through all the trials we now trod, we confidently lift our heart to God,
Though the trials may not cease, God grants us His sustaining Peace.
By our Lord God we are blessed, as past concerns God’s addressed,
As God through our life does lead, taking care of everything we need,
As life on earth may ebb and flow, it is The God of Heaven, we know,
Who actually controls all of our life, even through life’s pain and strife.
As the devastating times do come, we truly know where they are from,
Both good and bad, are from His hand, although we don’t understand,
It remains The Lord, Who we praise, this, as our heart to God is raised,
Worshiping Him through every time, knowing we’re in His grand design.
Although we’re weary and depleted, with God in Heaven we are seated,
Through redemption by our Lord, we are found in Christ, in one accord,
Now having the mind of Jesus Christ, through all of the trials in this life.
We’re looking forward to Heaven above, sustained on earth by His love.
