My society

My world/ my society

By H2O the silent poet

the young turn old

babies commit suicide using the umbilical cord.

Miscarriage of justice never grows old

and trust me this ain't a code.

...saints roam around the streets with broken haloes coz people are cold.

Faith is timid as it hangs with a noose in your heart, I can tell you not bold.

Faith folds its fate within a grim letter,

now our lives are turning into some mold.

When fate gets darker, the root of all evil suffices~ now our motive is gold.

....graves turn when dead men tell tales, yet the scripture never told us

I'm tired of this old rhyme, well excuse the pun

but I'm really tired of these fictions, killing ain't fun.

Oooho listen, while I turn this rage into a page,

girls face a wrinkle in time coz they couldn't keep up with the pace.

I saw her feel her consequences using braille cause she opted for a blind date,

They are saying prevention is better than cure but they are benefiting from these rates.

we feel the belly of the beast its chew of the seven deadly sin, see~ my soul faces the burning gates.

this is the burden of proof that we will pay for our sins..................

Silence Becomes Violence

Written by H2O the silent poet

Silence Becomes Violence

The society has become blind, deaf and dumb

Its emotions have become numb

The knights are in deep slumber

Or are in the grave

The land seems to have no brave souls

People are robbed in broad daylight

No one dares to fight for the right

People lie for self comfort , old despised

Humanity manhandled, not revived

People see, hear but not speak

Were phones have more value than ones soul

This is the generation of the meek

The youth is busy in making video

Seems they have their own studio

Share the video, stare the woman

We have become unethical human

Sitas are abducted

No girl is protected

People roam without fear

Is this modernity, my dear?

Humanity is caged

But no war is waged

Listen, if you have any guts in you

Be the brave lion, not like cat that just go

Mew!!!

Because:

When crime spreads

Blood like water sheds

Women naked and raped

Humans chained and caged

Children fade and afraid

When lie is held high

The truth feels shy

Parents are thrown out

Criminals roam without doubt

When riots are solemn right

There is neither vision nor light at the end of the tunnel

When youth is used

Only to be misused

When the country is in ruins

Satan and Mephistopheles are twins

When home is not safe

Even father commits rape

If you still keep the silence

This is called master violence

Silence in these times

Is the heinous crime sickening 😪

Rise and eradicate the crime

Reinstate the peace,in humanity elevate

In my dream last night we had a conversation remember

As you walk and wave at other boys

And gently making them feel warm

Oho please don't cheat on me dear one

Cause when we cross paths am shy to meet

You in person

The pain of the world

The pain of the world

We are like skeletons in the museums display 
By the suffering that has plagued us.
O lord let Death;
take us away
poverty has become the lullaby we sing every night.
If life it's a promise,
I rather be the picture,
I'd hate seeing myself drowning,
Starving has become my language of the day ,
I'm the smile,
As we gaze through the streets!

Do not let us die in hunger.

Where are our parents?
Where is the womb of our flesh?
Where are the graves to testify,
We had parents?
Why do lamentations salute us?

For our ribs are like stretch marks,
Reflecting on our chest 
how long must we safer 

As poverty makes us older than our age.
Some would say we are the leaders of tomorrow.
But if our present looks this way,
Tell me!
What does our future hold?

As our heart drips with stream of oceans
We are like leaves in the air,
That can be taken away by a strong wind.

Designed by hunger and thirst.
If you ask us why we look this way,
We would tell you the world reformed us;
For this is not how we're meant to be.

But who are we to question gods plan
To change the hands of time,
And reverse these pains and agony.
Who are we to question our fate and destiny
For betraying our trust and hope.
We are nothing but clays
In the hand of the Potter.
And if these be the shapes He wishes
To mould us into; 
We prayed all nights;
When shall our prayers
Be the building block of life?
Why our faces are the mother's deal of sorrow?
When shall joy welcome to us?
Oh, God! Wept the affliction of our faces.

Oh God take a look around
we are living just to die if it's not by the sword of our brother
then it's by the sword of nature

cry out in pain
In the touch of your faded memory
You can't leave today
You can’t
I know you will never return
No one is waiting for this.

Your face is the color of the mind
The mind is drawn to the
border of the chest
When the eye rain again
Silently our face is washed away.
Feelings cry out in pain
In the touch of fading pain

Broken reality

The Reality is 
A broken mirror reflects ultimate terror.
The reality is

We all have the ability to get the pain when expectations run away from our brain.
The reality always hits you.

Forget it, even if I told you, you probably wouldn’t wanna hear it.
An accursed life without a hope of sincerity,
Listen as I spit these words with meaning and clarity.
The truth reveals monstrosities many don’t wanna hear it,
Debate all you want but do you really think you can handle it?  

no, coz this is my reality and you cannot have it.
even if you were given the opportunity to enter it, the truth is, 
this is my  reality and you probably won’t understand it… 

loneliness gives way to hope 
Respectfully declined, lost in vengeful victory 
Where love triumphs and hope is a futile answer 
Where feelings, dreams and destiny have been stolen 
Given freely, tempted by life, we control fate 
If you’re in the game, you’ve already won

give up the mediocrity coz my life without a doubt is built on my idiosyncrasies 
that not even the madmen could possibly hope to imitate, 
Listen as I regurgitate the truth, my well being consists of needles and drugs
which makes my body quiver with hope, 
do me a favour and just hand me a rope,
to terminate my existence in an instance,
coz I cannot take this pain any longer,
I mean just yesterday I felt but stronger.

but reality like a thousand slaps across the face 
serves as a constant reminder which I hate to embrace, 
that death draws nearer, life’s not fair as I gasp for air 
in the emergency room, reaching to God to give me breath.
But the heavy beating of my heart pounds loudly against my chest, as the doctors and nurses rush in to stabilize my condition, fighting to stay alive becomes a losing battle,
as my body rattles from the electronic gadget trying to bring me back to life, strife is the language between my heart and mind, as the alarm beeps faster, 
shock takes over, as flat line occurs 
then the doctor says… he’s gone, 

contact hes family and friends

Silence

silence...
Lets listen to the tongues of our feelings
and the noise of  slient mouths 
like calm river  in  still motion of ...
let our eyes be bail out of jail
Without  a price  tag
eyes to eyes
we will stare  and 
away in a deep distance
until the wish of our heart spread like pebbles
listen...
call me a  fool of love   stupid
that is the shadow of my being
i am like a strange stream
at the edge of the earth
where noise is forbidden fruit
don't give me your heart
from the chest of another man
i don't have  .......
and let no blood know me
for the eyes of heaven is upon me
like the tongue of flames on apostles
wait...
don't leave me
like the coldness of a river
after the touch of the sun
and don't come close to touch me
you know i will die
your hands will kill me
if it lead me where we can stretch...
and fill a dept with viscous
of white water
from which regrets grow after
silent treatment

Silence is
the ultimate disguise.
It cloaks the truth
silence is beauty
a gentle absence
that cools
the fevered mind

silence is hope
a quiet place
where thoughts
become dreams

If silence could speak

if silence could speak 
loud than words
it would echo through my eaching born 
it would speak the language of the unknown
a myth to yet discovered,
   unvilled like  the 
hidden cloth of secret barried  to human eyes 
it would crep around the darkness just to feet 
in the silent moment of untold story 
of a broken world and its silent moment 
of lost souls 
silence is the hidden pain  of a lost poet 

yet to be discovered in its trasgration

silence it's an agnosing 
emptiness that turns
 ur soul  inside out
the silence it brings 
burns out all hope within ones 
heart

Silence

 written by owen hamalala 
title silence
Silence
An emotion that has no motion.
it screams when all is in mute
silence is eyes that can see;
Lungs that can breathe, and ears that can hear;
For silence sees what nobody can bear to see;
In that moment of silence

Silence is like a  voice washed in waves of tranquility
Silence is
Without words but  yet special in verse and rhyme
Hidden in nature’s
,m.silence is the
hope  within the art
like whistle in the dark
embraces your fear
as It deepens your tear

its like death  brought to life
It’s a moment of silence
a fear behind the strength
a sound more piercing then anything
silence
A moment were fear dwells
And fill the mind with lies
Silence is  the darkest moment locked  in as we all look
Away now am one of the forgotten
Silence
A parasite that slowly eats up your mind
Ands gives doubt
As the truth falls down the erusion
We become  silence is war between who
We are and who we are made to believe
As we hide behind the silence
The still motion of  silence
Is the darkness creeping into daylight
Leaving treasure hidden in my mind
The memories we had has faded
The betters sweet  of dreams made in silence
Never stop

Sabeta

Precious sabeta

I met her on the eve of January 31st 2017

A woman of fine beauty and brains one cannot deny

She gazed at me with those beautiful loving eyes,

As if hypnotized I had to make her mine

She opened her mouth to speak and I felt so weak

But then her voice so sweet fell on my ears, relieved my fears

She embraced me with grace, her smiling face soothing my conscience

I never thought I’d ever meet someone so gorgeous

My goodness gracious she said her name is sabeta

You see, I was seduced by the looks and the glamour

Of this fine individual with a sense of humour

Like her name she reflected an image of perfection

I was trying to hide these feelings of repression

Emotions overwhelming logic and reason

Like a pleasant drug, she had clouded my vision

Eyes blurry and her name echoing in my ears

Something this precious is usually very rare

Or maybe I’m already in love I was just unaware

Her presence is missed every time she’s not around

I begin to think of her every time I hear the sound

Of my cellular phone ringing damn, she gets me day dreaming

About spending time with her my heart is still aching

To have her all to myself and it’s almost breaking

When I think of her my heart increases its beating

And when she not around my happiness starts decreasing

I’d like to ask her out but have not the courage

Afraid she’s already taken or booked for marriage

Fair Precious who is so fine,

I will not rest until I make you mine.

A crying child

My heart drips with oceans pain

As I look out into the sea from where the winds come from

Deep into the heart of a land

A land bounded by two rivers

Right in the soul of a broken hearted

In a land filled with milk and honey

built by our strength, blood and soul

Right in the the heart

A mother of many children

What has become of our unity?

When we now see ourselves as rivals

Where sentiment and interest now make and break us

We are our own strength and our own weakness

Now the sun set where the East and West crosses by

The North stands still and watches the East and West rage forth

Why should what bind us break us?

When we are our own strength and our own weakness

Weep not, o! Child of zambia

How long will a mother breast feed her child?

When the child has breed forth children

When should what bring us together make us?

While we see ourselves not as foe but victors of struggle

Weep not, O! Crying child

Why should yesterday be the dream of tomorrow?

And tomorrow’s future is like the mirage of yesterday’s dream

When tomorrow’s dream is yesterday’s history.

Cry not, o! Weeping child

For our tears will one day yield hope

When yesterday’s dream will be tomorrow’s future

And hope makes the future of tomorrow yesterday’s dream

I'm scared of you

written by owen hamalala H2O
silent poet
title i`m scared of you

this is not a love story but This is my confession
Yes I am scared of you
Is it because of you big brown
Eyes that make me shiver or the
Depose to your smile

This heart betrays me every time
I gaze apon your beauty

I am scared of you

Is the smile that cuts up your lips or
The is it the colour of your skin
The impecfection in the eyes of a stranger
As I keep gazing upon you beauty
Not so far from perfection but you perfect
Captured in my thoughts arrested in my on mind
Of Curiosity
I am scared of you
Or is the way you look at me right now
Your high expection
Is it the way you talk
Or the rudness
that scares me
My mind my body is forcused
I made them one
See this life is wealth living
You represent the true african beauty
Am scared of u
You see
Performance will not give you
Perfection
Your beauty is like a parasit that eats up ones mind
Weh will I ever respond to this conviction
Of being scared
This is not love love story but but this is my confession
Yes I am scared of
Is it the way I picture words flying from
her lips like weapon or its the brokeness
I see within her heart
She is like a broken glass but still transperent
Rude and irrational but still obedient
To the cause respected by all but yet diabolic
In her eyes I see,the hurt ,the betrayal but still chooses
To live her life
I am scared of you
As I battleded with my consciousness
With this new this called fear
Lose of words wen I hear her voice
You see you were an accendent waiting to hapen
Now it has happened the accedent that scares me
My voronability have been exposed like saws which
Is why I keep coming back
Like the waves that return to the show
Even wen it has been pushed back
I am scared of you
If could write the notes of the song
To which beauty of creation
And nature sing along [too]
Blind guessing and trusting my hunch
I could dig deep into earth's chambers
Searching for sparkly and precious
Gol
