"REBIRTH" BY MAURICE CHIADZWA

I am falling back in a pool of regrets

All the songs we never got to dance

Running around in gross ignorance

Crying out on a lost chance

Running and chasing the trends

Chasing the clouds like drunken hens...

Then, went on leaving behind all unhealthy friends

Joining and leaving more bands

Walking upon time's sands

Aiming to be on the eastern high lands

But not sure where the fruit tree stands

If I could bring it all into presence

And send flaws into deep absence

I would make love of the essence

I would respect even the peasants

Give every good challenge acceptance!

Inject every dime into projects

Listen to the voices behind puppets

Know that matured voices are of importance,

Ideas are worth more than oil fountains,

And faith can lift all mountains!

I would know how to grab moments

I would know more than to trust magic of magicians

Because magic of success is behind working hands

The magic of wisdom is behind the matured and parents

The magic of development lies in innovations

The magic of order and focus yields forth excellence

So, if I may be returned to the past moments

If I could be reborn into existence...
