15 SECONDS OF LOVE...

Every morning
the sun's rays hit the earth
i feel this love moving a little high

Every evening
the moon takes charge
stars make it glow
another fifteen seconds
to think about us...

something within
keeps ticking in me
you still love me
my heart holds to you
your soul adores me
this heart loves you daily
your soul thinks of me
and your love
will always be here
every fifteen seconds
that i live...

The stars in your eyes
a ray of hope to me
the candles burning
is like the desire in us
it should not burn out
the distance between
i cannot tell...
but can only describe
it lasts fifteen seconds
because you here always...

Like the flowers
you brighten my life
like a water well
you keep filling my heart
it never goes empty
am always thinking of you
every fifteen seconds
in every minute with you
spells security for me

every minute of you has
fifteen seconds of love....

THE AFRICAN CITY

It is raining
Not here

Several hills and valleys away
A storm has covered the land
There is a stampede
A large mask of dusty wind
A dark cloud looms in the sky

It is raining
Not here

Several cities and towns away
A revolution has engulfed the land
Anger has awakened in the hearts of many
A corrupt citadel of justice
The death of independence

It is raining
Not here

A child is buried in a pit latrine
A husband died in a drinking den
A woman offered her husband to a cult
The floods have consumed the land

It is raining
Not here

In the African city
Politics have killed the city
Cheap talk and threats
Empty promises and lies
Distrust...disgust...despise.. Disguise..Disillusion..

There is a storm coming
In the African City.....
