planet Earth

No death shall claim Mandela

No funeral shall say it's over

Black, defending our rights

with dignity and pride

He endured the prison

time, holding his head high

A martyr of our time, King of

Africa who shall reign forever

Mandela oh Mandela with

pride and joy we honour you

Mandela will never die

In our hearts, in our souls

Righteousness, Truth

We promise you Mandela,this

is the Awakening of our Race

hate, violence or oppression

Not with greed and poverty

Yes get ready your black

clothes, just know

Mandela will never die.

This one is victoriously alive

Remember he is Nelson

Mandela, Prince of Peace

Love, caring and recipient of

Truth, Earth says

He can never, never die

God of our gods, principalities

of righteousness, truth

The wind that blows the

trees, gravitation says

Water, sun, the rainbow dancing

and black souls rejoicing

We are awakened. We cannot

die.

Mandela see me by your side

Feel the warmth

Life is. Time shall.

- Feea, Daughter of Zion

Longing for you

Why I cry,

It touches my heart to the core.

Just felt like I would die,

When you said you don't want

me any more.

I wept endlessly

Knowing that I am missing you

like crazy.

I now experience the thorns of

your rose,

Hampered by their pricks,

I can't disturb nor impose.

Your beautiful flower is no more

For me to adore.

My heart has been smashed like

glass

And scattered on the floor.

Will you love me again?

That's the thought in mind.

My curiosity awaits the answer

in time.

An although I have often heard

That love is blind.

I yearn once again to make you

mine.

- Ricardo Cole

U-R-Z change!

U-r-z change!

This world needs a fresh start.

This world needs something new.

The change must come!

What are you going to do?

Stop wasting time!

The world is waiting on you!

U-r-z change!

Stop waiting on someone else.

Stop waiting on a Messiah.

There's something that you may not realise.

The world is waiting on you to ignite the fire.

Now is the time for social, political and spiritual activism.

It's time for revolutionary thinking.

You must challenge the beast and the vampire.

U-r-z change!

Wake up every doctor, judge,

banker, teacher, preacher and nurse.

You must do som

thing before it's too late.

You must reverse the curse.

If not, the undertaker

will be on his way to pick up your body.

He will be coming with the hearse!

U-r-z change!

Bad seeds were planted.

Bad fruits the world is now reaping.

You must rise up!

This world is lost, groping in the dark and weeping.

It's time to do something.

Get out of your comfort zone!

Stop sleeping!

Get up now and do what needs to be done!

You may sound and seem strange.

A revolution is inevitable!

The present system is crumbling!

It's time to take charge and rearrange!

If you don't, who will?

U-r-z change!

- Anthony E. Morgan
