Don Bukana Poems

I tried so hard to be your perfect child
but in your eyes I turned out wild
Yeah, sometimes I did lie
but Mom, I really did try

A young boy from my neighborhood came to me the other day. he was near hysteria
he said, big bro jamb just came out and i have failed woefully my parents don't know of this yet
and i really don't Know what to do, I'm confused
i did my possible best i prayed and fasted for days waiting on God i attended lessons and i prepared well for this exam

1st year(In university)
I was sitting in the lecture room, looking at that girl sitting next to me. She was my ‘best friend'. She had nice hair, humble and was very beautiful. I wish I could tell her that I loved her so much, but I didn't want to break the bond. After lectures, she walked to me, borrowed some notes of the previous class hugged and pecked me goodbye.
I wish I told her, I wish she knew
That I wanted us to be more than just friends

A FATHER'S STRUGGLES
...

Don't let it fool you
This smile isn't the real me
I don't understand why you don't care
I was once everything you wanted me to be
...

If I had the power Life would seem too easy
Beggars would have luxurious homes
With the power Success would be easy
With the power I would have expensive car

SACRIFICE BY DON BUKANA
SACRIFICE SACRIFICE SACRIFICE
SACRIFICE it, s giving up somethings valued for the sake of other considerations!
Most important thing one should sacrifice to achieve what he/she wants in this life is TIME! .

I try and try, but no one can see
That I'm hurt, that I'm broken
That I'm not even me.

Life will never give you what you desire

Life will always give you what you deserve
