Researching for the lost time

Procrastination

The enemy of time

An assignment to do today

Think tomorrow will do

Postponement

The best enemy

Researching for the lost time

So difficultly possible

Lose time today

Consequences to follow

Tomorrow never comes

Today is the best

Time travel machines

Only factiously available

Available only in fantasy movies

The time lost is never gained

Never lose time

Life goes well when

Daily busy in business

Like busy bees

Today in activity

Tomorrow in action

Prevention is better

Better than cure

Time management

The best prevention

Avoid procrastination

Live the best life

Eric Mayombo

If

If you were Karate or kung-Fu

I would travel to China

Get trained in martial arts and achieve black belt

Ensuring the unity of your soul and mine

Making the intimacy and love strong

If you were honey in a beehive

Nothing would stop me from harvesting you from it

Then storing you in a cool and dry place protecting you from deleterious agents

Your safety would always be my command and your delicious taste would

Force me never to allow any intrusion

If and yes if you were a missing a treasure

I would not rest until you were found

Day and night rarely immobile, in fact always on the move

Carefree of the sharp stones and sharp vegetation in pursuit of your location

The desire to hold you and feel your comfort and value

Would be the priority never to be taken for granted

If you were a hostage in a bank being victimized by bank robbers

I would share with you the pain while trying all the options to rescue you

Even though playing hero game is so dangerous

That would be my hobby and interest

Never would I stand like a watching dog seeing you suffer

The likes of Chuck Norris, Jet Li and others

Would discover from me new rescue techniques that had never been tried before

My blood boils all the time longing for you, hence

The rebels would face difficulties and inconveniences for holding

Hostage a wrong person

If you were in the category of food

Pizza would definitely be your identity

Producing sweet smell to my pleasure thus loving every single moment with you

Haters would always be available, the flies and other related ones

But my full security and protection would be a guarantee ensuring your

Safety to preserve and keep you for myself forever

Mortality a senseless word to me for our union cares less of the word

Our love would always flourish to the disgust of many

Even after death, the story would remain the same, you and I

Mortality exists not in our world

If you were to get married

Darling would be the word to identify me

You were destined to be mine and no one else

Every time I close my eyes, I see you together with me

Treasuring our every minute

Allowing no disturbances from intruders so then ensuring the

Continuity of our bond and camaraderie

Without any further due, if I were, yes If I were

If I were a landlord and you were a tenant

You would reside in the most expensive apartment for free

Why would I demand house rent?

Your beauty would be enough to satisfy my financial demands

Making me feel like the richest man on Earth

Whenever I would see you walking in the premises

While men bump into each other and the beer takers pouring the beer on

themselves

My day would be made upon recognizing how attractive, gorgeous and

attention snatcher you are

Giving me the motivation and enthusiasm to cling on to you

If I were a rock star in the music industry

You would not struggle in strive to become a groupie like the others

I would turn you into a wonderful celebrity

Winning the spotlight of the paparazzi and the public

Your name would always be on my lips in my music

This for sure is no joke neither is a hyperbole because I am a man of my words

Popularity and fame would always be on your shoulder

If only you agree to make a record of being my one in a million

Travelled to different parts of the world in quest for the one

Never could I spot the truth of the one for me until now

If you allow me into your life and make my wish come true

Hence actualizing my dream, regret won’t be suspected in your life

I will carry the world for you and ensure that joy and happiness are

your identities

Transforming you into the happiest lady in the world

If you accept the proposal and become the one

If, if, If you were mine

Protection

Darryl Feldman / Picasa

Lorsque les armes ont crépité, les armes ont chanté

Leurs sons étaient comme ceux du tonnerre.

Il nous a protégés

Nous étions dispersés, comme des brebis sans bergers

Chacun suivait sa direction

La terre a eu peur, le soleil a inhibé ses rayons, la lune a refusé de nous éclairer

C’était comme si les cieux étaient tombés sur nous

Les villes et maisons étaient quasiment inhabitées

Les forêts et brousses de lieux de refuges

Les oiseaux, animaux et les hommes parlaient un même langage

Il nous a protégés

Quand la méchanceté des hommes s’était amplifiée

Lorsqu’ils tiraient dans toutes les directions et surtout ceux qui bougeaient

Ils voulaient nous faire effacer sur la face de la terre des communs des mortels

Oui, nous étions comme la prunelle de son œil

Comme des petits poussins couverts sous ses ailes

Je n’ai jamais vu un bouclier pareil

Pour nous, il demeurera un asile éternel

Il nous a protégés

Des gros baobabs et les éléphants étaient tombés

Mais les roseaux et les petits animaux ont résisté

Parce qu’ils ont placé leur confiance en l’éternel

Il nous a protégés.

Ce que j'aime

Oui, j’aime le seigneur parce qu’il m’a aimé le premier

J’aime énormément sa paix parce qu’elle apaise mon âme

J’aime surtout sa présence parce qu’elle me console

J’aime aussi ses paroles parce qu’elles sont douces

Oui, ses paroles sont fortifiantes

Bien sure, elles pansent les blessures de mon âme

Elles sont différentes de celle que m’offre le monde

J’aime l’humilité parce qu’elle m’enseigne

Et elle me conduit vers la gloire, oui elle précède la gloire

J’aime la connaissance parce qu’elle m’instruit

Oui, elle m’épargne de la perversion

Oui, elle m’épargne de l’immoralité

Oui, elle m’épargne de toute ignorance

J’aime être aimé pour que je me sente considéré

J’aime aussi aimer les autres, parce que c’est une recommandation de notre Seigneur

Aimez-vous les uns les autres

J’aime la justice parce qu’elle défend les faibles et les opprimés

Oui, je l’aime parce qu’elle punit et humilie les orgueilleux.

A TRUE HERO

Ben Hanbury / Flickr

A true son of his mother Africa
An inspirational and true legend to all even in America
Sacrificed his time and priorities for the sake of others
Gave his best and never was selfish in serving
Then attracted the attention of authors
Thus an exemplary and fantastic person, honor deserving

A dragon is more easily defeated than an angel
You gave your best shot and succeeded thus an angel
No doubt the current situation conquered it will be
An ambitious, courageous character you are the great Madiba
Who will forget your achievements and contribution
Together we are in the difficult time you are in

The world stood still at the breaking of the news
Confusion, despair and sadness arose in us
However, hope in great amount we have
Prayers for you we offer daily to God above
The Lord with you, never will he let you go this earlier
Like a lightning flash, the trouble will disappear

They say – anything that has a beginning has an end
The whatever illness is troubling you has an end
Everyone around anywhere wishes you a quick recovery
Hoping to see you strong, alive, kicking and merry
Back to your feet and walk around the streets inspiring the world
That the wish hoping to come true indeed

Everyone stand! A round of applause to the great Nelson Mandela.

Eric Mayombo

Imagine

Just imagine yourself in such a situation!

Imagine yourself between the hammer and the anvil

Swimming in mud and dust; feet to the doors of the abyss.

Imagine one day, a bomb falls on your palace

And creates a bloodbath all around;

Imagine that one day your playground turns into a cemetery;

Where the local bar becomes a site of desolation and tears.

Imagine the soft music that caressed your soul disappears

And instead, you hear the noise of boots and the crackle of Kalashnikovs.

Will you accept to stay and die or choose to flee to stay alive?

Imagine one morning, armed executioners arrive at your door,

Hitting you soundly without sparing your mother, your father and your whole family.

Imagine that under threat of death

You are forced to have sex with your own mother;

That with your eyes you see an ugly duckling deflower your sister of nine years old

Caressing her with a bayonet.

Imagine one day that you see people without a heart assaulting a woman who is nine months pregnant
Will you accept to stay there to see the same people go unpunished and inherit the throne?
Or will you go somewhere else be rid of the trauma to come back with a new spirit?

Imagine one day you're a victim of tribal conflicts and one morning your whole family is burned alive;

Imagine that due to religious belief or because of political affiliations, people are guillotined and beheaded.

Will you accept to wait your turn or run to save your life?

Imagine one day because of your opinions, because of a poem or a song denouncing inequality and misdeeds of a corrupt regime;

And in the end, the government pursues you for your disruptions

Running the risk of disappearing into the wild without leaving a trace

Or being imprisoned and then being released with poison in your body.

Will you stubbornly accept this and wait for death or will you flee until the regime changes to return home with to a country worthy of pride?

Imagine a sudden situation arises and steals all your wealth to make you a little beggar.

If it happened to others, it can happen to you too.

Those who mourn today laughed like you yesterday!
Those who beg today were rich like you yesterday!
Those who die of hunger today threw food in the trash like you yesterday!
Those who sleep outside today had a comfortable home like you yesterday!
But from the summit where they were, the lightning of the human wickedness reached them and buried them in the margins of society!

Just imagine yourself in such a situation!

BIRTH DAY

John D / Picasa

The day I was born 

Unhappy day it was

I heard

My first cry gaining attention

Name coming from the unknown

Growing into a lady

A fountain of joy in me

Getting the personality of childish

Attraction believing to be a talent

Beauty not at ease

19th birthday in years

Single shining high

Surrounded by criminals atmospheric launch

But at least not getting any

Sorrow not taking part on my day

Sinyosquare making two

Happiness abound

Jealous people step down

For us to last T G K

That’s it that's us

Coming out of nothing

But soon will be something

Running in streets everywhere

Spreading the good news

Being proud to be something that only God knows.

Mercy Ilunga

TU ME MANQUES

Michael Roberts/Picasa

Tu me manques comme la pluie à un champ,

Tu me manques comme le ton à une chanson,

Tu me manques comme le fond à un texte.

J’ai perdu mon éclat, ma beauté, et mon parfum,

Depuis que t’es partie,

Pareil à une fleur fanée, je ne sers plus à rien au jardin.

Je n’étais qu’un feu qui s’éteignait,

Providentiellement, t’es venue avec ta braise me raviver,

Soudainement tu m’as repris ce beau cadeau sans m’aviser.

J’suis qu’un brimborion,

Sans toi j’suis moins qu’une feuille de brouillon.

Moi et toi étions comme une paire de chaussures,

Quand une pièce se perd

La pièce restante perd sa valeur.

Tu me manques comme la musique, les mangers et les boires qui manquent à une fête,

Tu me manques comme un cerveau qui manque à une tête.

Saches que tu me manques,

Saches que tu me manques.

Je pleure comme un petit qui perd un jouet qu’il chérit bien,

Avec une voix pleine de larmes, je crie chérie viens.

Tu me manques comme les vaccins à un gosse,

Sans ta douceur, j’suis exposé à une mort précoce.

Tu me manques comme l’arme à un soldat en guerre,

Ou comme la mamelle qui manque à un bébé en l’absence de sa mère.

T’es indispensable à ma vue

Comme l’eau a la vie.

Tu me manques comme l’écho à la cloche,

Ton absence m’a avilit comme un trou à la poche.

Vivre sans toi

Suis dans l’agonie,

Ma vie sans toi

Est vie sans harmonie.

Tu me manques comme les béquilles à un boiteux,

Tu me manques comme la lampe qui manque en pleine obscurité.

Saches que tu me manques,

Saches que tu me manques.

L’amour est le pont

Qui relie les deux rives de nos cœurs,

Nourrit par les mots

Qui dérivent de nos cœurs.

Mes décisions s’écroulent par un seul coup de tes yeux,

Les trompettes de ta voix écroulent les murailles de mon cœur.

Comme un myope qui perd ses verres,

Je tergiverse, mais je persévère,

Pour remettre ma pendule a l’heure,

J’suis contrains a percer vers

Vents et marrés pour t’avoir à nouveau sur le train de mon piètre univers.

Saches que tu me manques,

Saches que tu me manques.

MY LOVE AND COMFORTER

Foto: Fabio Ciomel/Picasa

Your beauty like the sun shine bright

Illuminating the dark corners of my heart

Relieving me of Worldly pain

Creating a wonderful World for me like zain

The World of milk and honey

Indeed you are my paradise



Your smile is like a perfume

Pouring out sweet aroma into my atmosphere

A passion in my heart you are

Comfortable and joyous every time with you

When my hair turns silver and grey

Your love shall turn it to black like super black



You are the pride among my friends

You are the topic in my speech

You make me feel complete

The valleys in my heart you leveled

Without you by my side

My life is empty



My love for you is like a river

Flowing from a mountain

Containing the purest of waters

The water will quench your thirst in an instant

You shall not long in my presence

Like a mother to a child, I will provide


They say sky is the limit

With us the sky is limitless

Like a pen and ink

We shall go beyond

Our love will be the international passport

Authorizing us to go wherever

Limitless like Romeo and Juliet.
