A mirage of change

What you see will change,
What you dream will change,
Change the only constant.
This instant if not lived will change,
Till change becomes constant
This moment that passes will be your past,
If you’ve not lived in the present.
If the past haunts you and the future taunts you,
Just live in the present and adopt to change
For Change is permanent,
For Change in omnipotent,
For Change is ever present.
Inaction would result in a moment lost in contemplation,
Rather adapt to change, with temptation for life,
For life is a mirage of change, altered by the concept of time.
As times change, be the change in the mirage of life.

The love at first sight

Fooled by sight and confirmed by vanity

Your heart has chosen the profanity of your minds’ chasms

When love is superficial,

When your lover is artificial,

The sight is fixed at the appearance,

As the looks wane, 

The love wanes.

As the love wanes,

The sight is on stains and

The relationship is strained,

The colour palette of life is reduced to black and white and one starts painting grey.

When you renounce the superficial

And denounce the sight 

And for once choose without materiality or vision,

There’s still hope for life to blossom into something you’d cherish when all is lost except memories. 

To the Coloured Mind

 Lifetime of inferiority,

As perceived by colour,

A colour racism always let turn into fascism,

Whatever the accomplishments, all turned black by white,

For White is the new Black!

I end up doing the menial,

Always hear the heinial.

Always looked down,

Forced to Look up.

For White is the new Black!

I’m silenced by day,

And violated by night.

I championed for the cause,

Am made to rue for the loss.

For White is the new Black!

A day shall come when darkness is positive,

And dawn negative,

For I wait to rule in the night,

As my skin was never favoured in light,

For White is the new Black!

I wait and await,

For a day beyond colours,

To be an accomplice to glory,

For the Intellect to honor me

beyond physicality,

For white to turn grey,

With all the fervor I pray!

An ode to Black panther, in a bid to rhyme!
