Poem: I've seen the world
By : Lutho Mdashe
I've seen .
I've seen hearts that bleed to non-existence but still continue beating .
I've seen sorrows that drowned into tears tarnishing bright tomorrows .
I've seen a wiseacre leading nations into devilment .
I've seen the most calmest faces with dangerous minds planning .
Whatever plan they set out , they destroy .
For they find peace in chaos .
Yet they still portray the most calmest faces .
There's more to what meets the eye , so they say .
What is art ?
That every human being is an artist at heart .
That legends do not see with the eye neither do they lack eyesight .
I've seen hope being the gleam of survival divulging great foresight .
I've seen ghosts wondering with us the living dead not knowing where to head .
I've seen newborns being granted their last beds right after they've just arrived .
Some acrimonious as they realise that their journey has just began .
Thousands have came .
Many lived .
Billions have passed .
Only a few will make it .
Some soon to arrive , I hope they don't .
For I believe they come from a better place .
What kind of sins they've done that they get sent straight to hell ?
Lutho Mdashe , from Cape Town .
