Ghetto Poetry - Dravitoz

coming back to this piece again, reincarnated. [fallen times]

...

triggered by manly thoughts;
thinking about fallen times,
everything has faded away,
as I walk down the driveway.

i've shed my better days;
been lost in my own ways,
trapped in suicidal thoughts,
thinking about fallen times.

puff n pass the cold nights;
blaze through strong winds,
seems like i am standin still,
thinking about fallen times.

sound of sweet melodies play;
lay on my back moving astray,
guilt tripping on my thoughts,
thinking about fallen times.

through all the days gone by;
the shadow still remains silent,
gently walking everywhere i go,
thinking about fallen times.

calculating my steps moving closer;
i stand look back reminiscing deeper,
into a world once known to me,
bag my thoughts and walk away with pride.

thinking about fallen times.

"I will never forget you...to the love that passed on"

destiny...still making rounds in my mind...Lord?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the picture of a successful man in his expensive car;
while a young brother begs in the streets for survival?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it genocide of innocent people in the streets of Africa;
while we seek entertainment in every street of our suburban place?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the death of a new born baby;
while we fulfill our sexual fantasies in every corner of our living room?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the picture of an abusive father;
while a young girl is caught up in the sheets of confusion and fear?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the prostitution of young teenagers;
while a young girl graduates with straight A's?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the casual drop out of students from school;
while we receive scholarships to expensive living?

define destiny. what is destiny?
is it the passing of an unattended sick child;
while he contemplates suicide on the third floor?

what is your definition of destiny?

PG (Parental Guidance) 13 P [Deep]

She stands on the edge of death row (AIDS);
Contemplating suicide every second.
Five months into unwanted pregnancy;
Choices (decisions) she made in life.

College drop-out roaming the streets;
Begging each men for the right to living.
He lives closer to the town cemetery;
Keep walking soldier its not that far.

Let us get deeper, down with this...#sighs

She swings on the pole (stripper);
Dollars hang by her waist side (riches).
Late night news, victim of rape?
Choices (decisions) she made in life.

Violence down in his raptures;
Feel so good running these streets?
Shot five times, is there a God son?
Choices (decisions) he made in life.

Yellow Bone Skin (Girl)?

Sense something different, light skin;
Skin so yellow, she lights the lane.
You will never miss her, bright skin,
Such beauty, the yellow bone skin.

She gently smiles strolling along;
Loveliness that we men do long.
Turn around lady, the 360 feeling;
Come closer feel the heart beating?

Keep walking girl, sun is on you;
Body vibrations, can I feel you?
Lord bless this light beauty;
For she is the light of day.

Mother Nature (Africa), bless us the living;
She portrays beauty in a charismatic feeling.
Such a girl so fine, can I get your name?
She gently replies, "Yellow Bone Skin (Girl)"

-==[Damn]==-

Tunes from own misery;
Such painful lyrical beats;
Causes the heart to ache;
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

Castrated venture of a solo mind;
Careless tumbles towards unforgiven;
What vicious graffiti painted evil?
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

She moves sideways evil-minded;
Temptations of a juvenile mind;
Lust fill the heart's desire;
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

-==[Sighs]==-

Gentle walks through the streets;
Couples sharing smiles and kisses;
Contemplate deeper into my clicks;
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

What love fills the air so bright;
Smile moving towards love ecstacy;
She teases me with some Monisa smile;
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

Close these very lyrical rhymes;
Blasting the time so damn fine;
Ghetto rhymes tame sexy thoughts;
Straying deeper into my thoughts.

scribble words at sunrise;
leaning on my window pane,
seductive flowin poetry love,
stimulates verbal poetry rhyme.

journey through lyrical fame;
rhymes tame seductive thoughts,
wake up to poetic wet dreams,
late night poetic justice.

cautiously fold poetry verses;
creatin famous poetry pages,
intimate lyrical poetry rhymes,
back to basics poetry lyrics.

flowin ghetto poetry breed;
dizzy high on poetry weed,
attention to lyrical detail,
ghetto floetry fairy tale.

baseless ghetto poetry beats;
finger snap musical lyrics,
circles of poetry lovers,
nation supreme poetry rhymes.

[poetry rhymes][sighs]

been a while since i last blogged,
been doin some dreamin & aspirin;
still hard at thuggin & hustlin,
still paper chasin, playin hard.

still play my ghetto thuggin beats,
still puffin the air with ghetto lyrics;
still stalked by jealous tattooed faces,
still keepin it kasi style baggy jeans.

still roamin the streets of soweto,
acclimatizing to the stoundin echo (voices);
street corners lay African beauties,
nature lovin beauty African queens.

still believe in my African roots,
born to be free on ancestral lands;
image of my being well represented,
shall i not falter nor feel blinded

still ponder over senseless wishes,
movin closer to the arc of dreams;
forever believing in better days,
stressing life pleasant pleasures.

[sighs]

[-== thoughts are with Japan. God bless ==-]

careless Kiswahili taboo whispers;
face of an African beauty princess.
love fallen from the silent skies;
blessings from silent love angels.

sweetest anniversary...smile for me

cutest laughter seductive smile;
angel stance destructive curve.
she moves sideways sexy waist;
she smiles to modern love fate.

sweetest anniversary...smile for me

my mirror reflects her beauty;
such a feeling - morning so fly.
she runs the bath body so sweet;
pretty imaginations my heart beat.

sweetest anniversary...smile for me

she strolls lazily down my valley;
she tangles swiftly her sweaty belly.
admiration picture perfect - freeze;
her breathe close to ear such breeze.

sweetest anniversary...smile for me

look to stars such a lovely blessing;
first time in life feel love breathing.
definition of love-deluxe so supreme;
curves of my existence so sublime.

sweetest anniversary...sweetest Kiswahili taboo

ten thousand miles away from home,
she stood with a thousand smile.
she had an ascent pretty in many ways,
it was like sunset through my eyes.

her careless dance moves on the floor,
stimulated the desire to want more.
she moved everyone with curious minds,
it was like sunset through my eyes.

she captured my pretty imagination,
love tangled in a silent motion.
slowly she painted love signals,
it was like sunset through my eyes.

staring at the wonders of beauty,
she drove me closer to my fantasy.
caught up in the valley of many rivers,
it was like sunset through my eyes.

it was a perfect moment lost in time,
tangled rising on the wings of love.
charmed by her pleasant smiles,
it was like sunset through my eyes.

conceived out of passionate love;
i kept my faith in God to receive.
maturing with time in the womb;
drew me closer to fatherhood.

black oppression was the demon;
that stalked the break of dawn.
cruel friendships embraced me;
at most when i needed love.

reflection of misery on my mirror;
painted an image of my sorrow.
life was so unjust to thee;
redemption was my only hope.

struggles of life seemed so brutal;
new day with no meaning so fatal.
lived a life thorned by mistakes;
judgement was my only weakness.

faith and belief was my motivation;
desire to succeed was my mission.
contemplating victory every second;
excited the reason to live beyond.

beauty & wonder lay beside me;
sparked the passion for love.
now today you lay silently;
her womb caring so gently.

in the midst of my days;
shall i remember the times.
her love painted a new beginning;
to life that once had no meaning.

letter to my unborn child.

where did our paths cross;
day we shared innocent smiles?
have we forgotten it all;
now this moment that we fall.

momeries in the pages of my journal;
appear to the blink of the eye still.
simple things in life we treasure;
matter in this life we endeavour.

carefully i paint your smile;
now a distant faded picture.
graffiti of your pretty face;
slowly the mind shall erase.

silence has proven to be a burden;
with the little time that has fallen.
will the chemistry ever materialize;
scared the feeling might subside?

i curse the wind that blew the candle;
im lost in time like an infant in a cradle.
im left caged in this cold feeling;
always remember im still breathing.

"I will never forget you..."

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.

so many troubled souls down here;
prostitution of young black sisters,
teenage boys inside our own prisons,
a nation cursed by selfish demons.

episodes of gender transformation,
innocent images of God losing identity.
violent passion of love making,
resulting in unwanted babies.

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.

dark angels crawl our ghetto streets,
living in fear of our own shadows.
termination of young future leaders,
from our very own teenage abortions.

politicians running for parliamentary,
scores of our people going hungry.
i seek divine intervention on the horizon,
hope God hears my prayer at the break of dawn.

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.

somethings do last forever,
somethings were never meant to be.
vivid dreams scattered at bed side,
mind of a dreamer caught up in confusion.

mind addicted to fame and fortune,
it was lust for success at early prime.
who could ever tell the future,
misery on the cards dear dreamer?

silent thoughts creep the mind,
caught up in the deceased dreams.
mourn the fairy tale at dawn,
sunrise dries the fallen tears.

reflections on the mirror not so kind,
living life on the edge of misery?
somethings do last forever,
somethings were never meant to be.

low ride into the Soweto nights,
memories of my ghetto nights;
mind dusts the celebrity soil,
heritage to the living soul.

i walk the streets of fame,
driven by curiosity i blaze;
excited, trapped, lost in time,
i am dazzled by the Soweto nite.

morning comes to the heart's desire,
sunrise endures the kasi flavour;
it is a true feeling indeed,
to be part of such a heritage.

i switch on Radio Jakaranda,
is this my old man's station?
the station that played icons,
icons that stood the test of time.

kasi chicks flow galore,
beauty pleases the eye;
not too shy yet so sweet,
nature loving picture perfect.

i hear a squeaking sound;
i turn into a Gusheshe parade;
an O is drawn during daylight,
screams of joy set the mood.

low ride into the Soweto nights,

summer time ifikile,
sunny days of great vibe.
can u feel the scotching sun,
shorties wanna be divine.

i hear kasi car washes banging,
with a soul sound of music bragging.
a heat wave of dry winds,
catches the thirst for cold lagers.

swmming pools escalate with shorties,
a day to bask and maze, sweeties!
wot lovely days ahead,
more sunny days de blaze.

i luv summer time,
brings out more fire.
double up the beer cases,
bring out the cute faces.

summer time ifikile,
sizobona kuwe nawe,
xha ixhesha lifikile,
hayi summer time yizo lezo...

dear blog, it's me again

curves into my solitary world,
crossroads of uncertainty.
my mind is torn into pieces,
everyday i walk this earth.

heavenly Father bless this soul,
buried amongst the scars of hatred.
what do i fear the most?
the man i've become - i'm so confused.

i'm playing tunes of my misery,
isolated in the den of ruthless loneliness.
i'm having visions of my burial,
enemies keep stalking my grave.

poetry is what i live 4,
words from this disoriented pen.
i leave behind a legacy,
a naked path to all those who believe...

in the words from within.

judge me not - son of Africa.
it has been talent since birth.
the greatest passion - was my ambition.
forever tattooed in my heart, dreamer.

flip of an ocean wave - a story is told.
from early days of tumbling steps,
to the crystal days of freeway melodies.
the African soil has been good to me.

the setting sun, gentle sun-rays on my skin.
finest hour since childhood, such better days.
smile drawn on my face, such care-free moments.
o man...i was born at the right time...my word.

the careless walks down the kasi streets,
girls in their spring mini skirts.
such a blessing in the change of season.
God has truly been good to me.
