Faith the weapon

The strongest weapon against all setbacks 
The only thing that keeps me breathing 
The only reason to be me 
Without it long I would perish 

The stronger it is in you the better you are
 It can move you from insanity to sanity 
 From sickness to health
 From the ground to the space 
 As it moved me from nobody to somebody 
From petal soft to metal hard 

And darkness to enlightenment From sadness to happiness 
Heartbreak to whole heart
 Coward to legend It is invisible, its a trophy to win
 The battle between loser and victors 
Evil and good 
A gateway between you and your success
 Embrace it,it makes the whole you

African beauty

Red earth beneath her feet 
Blazing sun on her soft dark silky skin 
Thirsty and hungry like a lioness in the forest 
A a big bunch if firewood in her head,a beautiful African angel on her back 
Walking straight and strong,as her African curves swing side to side 
 Oh mama Africa,beautiful naturally with no make up 
Her dark skin shining like galaxy
 Big beautiful coffee brown eyes decorate her oval face 
With brown lips covering her pure white teeth 
She who has a loving heart,to care and respect 
 Child of Africa love your mother love your home 
Ashamed be never of where you come from. 
Keep that dark beautiful skin,never try to change who you are

THE STAR

So high in the sky 
Bigger than other,shining brighter
 Seen before others 
Dear star,how high should I jump to get you? 
So hard I work to bring you closer 
So late I bed to fight for how best I can be to have you 
 So keen u get to get a brighter you 

I the daughter of farmer too deserve to have you
 I jump high to get it I am not tired yet 
Some day I will get it,hold it and shine like others
 My race to the sky is on,I am close to the star 
And nothing can stop me getting the star 
 Hold it like a trophy make my mama proud 
Yes u will, because I can
