The Crime
If creation had no hunger
And no need of food
Then expression of love would not come.
As food is essential for need of livelihood
Like that love is essential for need of life
But for what sake man did crime at first
Was that for food or for love?
Attraction of Adam and Eve to prohibited food
Was for satisfying of hunger or for love?
What reason causes the death of?
Wrong done by one child of Adam and Eve.
Did the word wrong, kill, robbery
Plunder, destroy born at that time?
Then from the ancient time
The word crime is intimately ours?
From the abdomen of love the word crime
Has come into birth?

Sometimes Crime Occupies Everybody's Mind
Sometimes crime occupies everybody's mind.
Coming as it does,
To kick a peaceful dove...
Away!
Hey,
Say...
Sometimes crime occupies everybody's mind.
Coming as it does,
To kick a peaceful dove...
Away!
And it doesn't really matter,
Where you are upon that ladder.
Or the chatter made and started...
To believe you can be saved.
Sometimes crime occupies everybody's mind.
Coming as it does,
To kick a peaceful dove...

Moral Individual Decisions
At Teacher’s College in Christchurch New Zealand years ago.
The tutor gave us teacher trainee students a moral lesson.
She said ‘If a student asks you a teacher this moral question.’
‘Is it wrong to steal? ’ You must answer the student thus.
‘There is no right or wrong each person decides by individual right.’
‘No right or wrong? ’ ‘Really? ’ ‘The laws are not written so.’
Stealing is a crime prison is conviction caught punishment.
Crime does not pay ultimately bursting packed prisons say.
‘So is stealing right or wrong? ’ Crime is ticking time bomb.
To break laws a serious state offense prison sentenced penitence.
Moral individual decisions politically correct concept gone astray.

Those Who Commit Crimes Against Children
Those who commit crimes against children will surely be made to pay
If the Law does not catch them then Karma will one day
Self esteem they do erode and self confidence destroy
In the mind of their young victim the innocent girl or boy.
The abuse of children by an adult surely a crime of shame
Not many worse crimes than it that one could wish to name
Their innocence stolen from them in their most vulnerable years
For the victims of child abuse humanity sheds tears.
The abuse of a child on human innocence an attack
And innocence when stolen cannot be given back
Some of those who commit such crimes as children may have known abuse
But that for their behaviour not a good enough excuse.
Any crime against a child is a hard crime to forgive
And those guilty of child abuse with their sins have to live
And though on another human being one ought not to wish ill
If the Law does not punish them then Karma surely will.

America the land of the lie

Crime
Crime is so much on the rise
All across the world this lies
The morning newspaper with a cuppa
Is no more a charm
We hardly get to read
That surrounding areas are calm.
All we find is terrifying news
Senior citizens murdered
Young kids kidnapped
Infants being manhandled
Innocent girls raped!
Where is the world heading to
Where did the good people go
Its now difficult to trust
Whether the known person is our friend or a foe!
All these incidents does one day come to light
We find the people who are responsible for this plight

Some are not really causes
But just symptoms
And we misdiagnose
A sickness
For a symptom
Of the real sickness
The cause
And the effect
Are often interchanged
For instance
Is poverty the cause
Of crime
Or is poverty
Only the symptom
Of it?
For instance
Is ignorance

For Vusi Masilela: With Nicholas Jiyane
Hey! My bra?
It's a deed is done
We have grafted a positive success
And synergy of time
So great like morning due
I give you a round of applause
It was like a dream
It's transplanted so fast
As fast as a springbok
running like a hungry leopard
When we met we shall cherish life
Like a Prince and Cinderella
Now we take a break
May be a short interval
From December to December
with 'Hope and faith' the budies
