November The 3rd



November The 3rd


On this day,
A star was born,
Brought the glimmer of light to earth,
Angels went airborne,
Hell found achingly red;

On this day,
A child was born,
Addition to the family,
A blessing in disguise,
Juvenile poet in white sheets,
Healer in spirit;
Our blessed lawyer;

On this day,
Rain fell from heaven,
The scent of black roses lingered from ancestral graves,
Snow from Santa,
Tears from the mother’s eyes;

On this day,
A king was born,
Clan name Tau (Lion)
Hero to his people,
Saviour to heaven and earth,
Ruler of all nations;

On this day,
A priest was born,
Bold words shall be scattered on ears that fail to listen,
Bible rephrased to those who fail to believe,
Heaven shall be portrayed to those who lost hope,
Verses shall be broken down to resemble the sacrifice of Christ,
The world shall hear of his earthly miracles, but shall not witness his fate;

On this day,
A poet was born,
Words shall be turned bold,
Meaning shall be brought to every phrase,
Confusion cleared to every pun,
Attention drawn to every punch line;
He shall embrace the stage like it’s his,
Bring grace to the people like he’s Jesus,
Reshape their lives like he’s the creator,
Help them cross every bridge in life like he’s their Moses,
Relive their thoughts like its possible,
Then bring them into tears like mourners;

On this day,
Tlhookomelo Survival Mashile remains born,
Roses shall be fed to his feet,
Wreaths shall be pushed aside to be excused from death,
He shall receive success in the presence of his enemies,
And let the smile be his weapon of excellence.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TLHOOKOMELO SURVIVAL MASHILE (Rra Tau)
