#words really

[street-gang]

Close Hearted Open Minded

Closed captioned clocks

ready to tick in no motion

silent windows break their walls

to pick it all up, what you left

ready to cast away and Sail

through endless seas of forest

the train was waiting, it was waiting so very long

i told them to wait, i did...but they wouldn't listen

ears plugged with medicine

sometimes things are hard and you remember the birds

how high they fly, or the cold mornings where your 

breath can take your own mind away from the ground

and your self dances to the sight of the morning light

and sometimes

it's hard to compensate for.

Africa is poised for economic success, but its people need to stop being so pessimistic about its chances, President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday. "We need Africans to stop being pessimistic about their continent and to be the leading spokespersons and ambassadors," Zuma said in a speech prepared for delivery at the fourth International Trade and Investment Conference at Sun City, in North West. "If we do not believe what we see and experience, the rise of our beloved motherland, why should the rest of the world?" he asked.
