CRYSTAL CHANDELIER

Crystal Chandelier tell me what you hear
I look at the man in the mirror i see my fear
Crystal Chandelier whisper in my ear
the time has come my peace is here

Crystal Chandelier shall we be clear?
I felt it coming like a shift in gears
a lone soul in a pool of spite
solitude my friend and knight

Crystal Chandelier we go into depth
as i sit here and contemplate death
The darkness within me freely resides
Crystal Chandelier do i have the strength to battle the tides?

Crystal Chandelier my friend who listens
I look to the Sky like a horse from Troy
Taken back for my soul is not a toy
Crystal Chandelier find me peace so I may roam the earth again with joy

V A N I T Y

Dear Humanity is it vanity?
That I view in Clarity
In slight insanity
The situation, it's gravity

Dear Humanity is it vanity?
To go for my dreams
To trust in my teams
To fight for my dreams

Dear Humanity is it vanity?
To go against all adversity
Some might call stupidity
To risk the chance of calamity

Dear Humanity is it vanity?
To believe in myself
To believe I can do it
To believe no matter what, I'll get through it

Dear Humanity is it vanity?
To focus on positivity
To flush out negativity
To spread happiness, laughter and stability

Dear Humanity it is vanity
To go for my dream, to believe in my team
To believe in myself, to say I can achieve
To go against it all, to dream of standing tall
To be happy and spread positivity

Dear Humanity nothing worth smiling for and believing is ever vanity

MAMA

Mama my beautiful mama,

I have known you since I was a little toddler,

From when I couldn’t hold a,

Fork, spoon or a hammer,

Mama my beautiful mama,

You have never judged me,

You have always supported me,

Your son I’m proud to be,

Mama my beautiful mama,

You have always been tender,

Never a pretender,

Because of you I will never surrender,

Mama my beautiful mama,

In my heart you will never hama,

With you I have no drama,

You’re my light,

You’re my power.

SILVER SHINE by Liam R. L. Kantai

SILVER SHINE

Silver shine,

She is my shrine,

Silver shine,

Will she be mine?

Silver shine,

Fresh, Morning dew

What shall I do?

From her smile she’s nice too,

Silver shine,

Venus calls,

She is funny,

And tough as golf balls,

Silver shine,

I’ll wait for my time,

Make her shine,

Our stars intertwine,

Silver shine,

I hope she’ll notice,

I like her a lot,

That’s what the truth is.

[ZENGA] THE BEGINNING Composed by Liam Raheeb L. Kantai

[ZENGA] THE BEGINNING

On a late Summer’s night, The moon shines bright

 Daddy strolls and strolls, from left to right

This is the day, He is filled with fright

Zenga my dear, Daddy’s here, it’ll be alright

A second, minute, hour, it feels like ages gone by

I sit with my face on my hands, I try not to cry

My baby is coming! My baby is coming, I’m supposed to Furahi

Zenga my dear, Daddy’s here, it’ll be alright

I hear the screams, All in Delivery

Baby girl my precious, Your mama screams terribly

I gather my courage, I go in almost falling terribly

Truth be told, I could hear the Angels calling me

Zenga my dear, Daddy’s here, it’ll be alright

I held your mother’s hand, as she took the last stand

She pushed and pushed, almost breaking my hand

Then finally a little head appeared, oh a little hand

My daughter finally here, Oh my it is Grand

Zenga my dear, Daddy’s here, it’ll be alright

Crying aloud, we held you with splendor

Thank GOD, hii dunia imetupenda

Then I looked in your eyes, so soft so tender

I gladly uttered, “Your name shall be Zenga”

Zenga my dear, Daddy’s here, it’ll be alright

THE MASK OF SORROW Composed by Ruhari Yusuf

THE MASK OF SORROW

From the East to the West

The sun shines to her best

When the darkness manifest

The bird is back to her nest

They say life is full of gain

While to others it’s full of pain

It’s so narrow like a rail yet so heavy like a train

The clothes were full of stain

Her face covered with terror

The ears could not hear

And eyes saw with terror

She struggled but could not walk

In trouble & could not talk

Like a prisoner in the chain

Her efforts were in vain

She was 9 years old

Innocent and full of cheer

One evening from school

So fresh, clean & cool

On the way going home

Up Hills and down Valleys

On her own & alone

With joy & no worries

The beast on its feet

Strong like a monster

She fights to resist

Yet the beast forced her

While shaking with tension

He insisted in the intention

He pushed & she fell on the ground

Fainted with no voice or sound

He took her precious gift

Left her in a million pieces

The monster ran with it

Disappeared into the dark places

Never will she forget

The events of this date

She signs for painful fate

As the monster still walks

Let’s unite & put the blocks

From the bottom to the top

Let’s fight this till it stops

For the love of our dear

We will wait with no fear

For the monster to re-appear

Or any other to come near

We are standing for the rights

We are strong we will fight

We refused to be oppressed

And we refuse to be stressed

This is the voice of the people

The very able and the simple

We build today for our tomorrow

Where we will have no mask of sorrow
