"The power of might" by Jaco Venter
2011-11-08 As dust settles upon this wastelandThe morale of warriors rises
Marching side by side
In memory of someone who long ago died
Whilst fear hides deep inside
Pride shines in these colours
Keep your head up but beware
This just might turn into a nightmare
"We are the youth" by Jaco Venter
2011-11-08 Tomorrow is a new beginningA thought in which we find bliss
But memories of the old
Are lurking beneath the surface
Getting ready to strike
When the lights go out
But we won’t suffer from this
We will not give in to this doubt
"Cele ube ngowam" by Megan Conjana
2011-11-08 Inqondo yam uyaqaqamba, ndiyaqala uku phambanaIntlitliziyo yam iyaduduma
That,Mzimba wam uyenze umzi wakh’
Amehlo akho yi dlela yo theta nam
Cele ube ngo wam

"My way" by Ninette Botha
2011-11-08I’m watching the sunrise
Hoping for blue skies today
I’ve got a lot on my mind
And I need some inspiration to find
The words I need to say
"Souls collide" by Ninette Botha
2011-11-08 Just for now I’ll disappearLoosen my grip on what I know is real
Trust in me, breathe and let go
I’ll find you before the lights go down on this world
"Fuel your fire" by Michelle Kok
2011-11-08 You're standing thereStaring in your mirror
Come and reflect on me
Escape from all your vanity
"Blackout" by JP Jansen van Vuuren
2011-11-08 It started in a darkened room.Full moon, no music just me and you.
Static electricity between us two.
Couldn’t help but fall for you.
Our love was strong.
Stronger than a silly love song.
You said that I was your all.
but now silence decks these halls.
“Red shoes” by G Johnson
2011-11-08You left in the morning
Your scent left a moment
I called out your name
And I waited for summer
"1984" by G Johnson
2011-11-08Did you see me walking down the street in 1984
Make up dripping from my face, I was a girl, I was a boy
The ocean breeze was very cold
I was never young I was never old
We played the games that young ones do
You loved me, and I loved you
"Dummy drunk petrol punk" by Genre Pretorius
2011-11-08 Jelly shots on the marble counterThrowing up in the porcelain holder
Waking up on a stranger’s shoulder
Making out and you don’t even know her
All you remember is the pretty waiter
Threatening ‘bout some restraining order
The blackout booze was never enough
You’ll find our dummy drunk at the petrol pump
"Home town of dreams" by Calla van Loggerenberg
2011-11-08 Some live their lives, living hereAll alone with tears to share
At night I lay my head
On my bed, I have no care
"Falling star" by Calla van Loggerenberg
2011-11-08 I’m sorry if I broke your heartIf I lied to you from the start
If I made a tear fall down your face
Now I lost you without a trace
"Voting booth" by Clarence Payne
2011-11-08 You judge me, but you don’t know me,You love thee, but you don’t show me.
I trust thee lest I forget,
That premature judgment always claims the last set.
"Fool's gold" by Karyn Donjoa
2011-11-08 It shines like the real thingit catches the light,
it blinds you, like the real thing
"House of cards" by Karyn Donjoa
2011-11-08 I think I've lost youwhen you do the things you do
then you take me in your arms
and everything that's wrong seems right
"Silence" by Ilze du Plooy
2011-11-08 The silence is screamingInto my ear drums
Numbing the usual sound
Of the hum
That went ahead of
My choices
"Neptune" by Marius van Wyk
2011-11-08 You warm this space with all the love in your heart.The gravity pulls our time away and leaves us both just drifting apart.
For you leave me breathless in the way that you sway,
moving so graceful,
with no laws or boundaries,
no precepts to obey.
