Salvation Is The Way Poem by Ishmael Mabhiza

When living in sin, you see all things flow-when things are ok
You enjoy life and you do what you feel like
Too many friends with evil encouragement
Hatrage for good and also cheering foolishness
Drug abuse, and immorlarity will be your business
Where there is light you see dark as the best
Its not about going to church, its all about enjoying.
Of course you have no problems, you claim you have no worries
You sleep anywhere and anyhow, with anybody
You eat and drink like a 'tshangani' bag they say
No one can turn you back, what you want is what to get
'Success' and achievement to you; someone crying
To be functional, the society needs such people and such behaviour-
You claim, if I dont live this way who will? �
Since the time of my fathers, their god have never been seen
Its a lie, noone will come, churches teach history and gobbles people's monies.
You smile at evil and claim its the best you can do
Stealing, bullying and gambling is the best you can do
Your mind is corrupt and your acts are dubious

But where is your help in time of trouble
When deeds backfire, and things turns upside down
Even when you are dead fleshly your body-'Carcase'
They will call it,
The flesh that enjoyed and the emotions which were on the move
Now vanished and never to be seen
You are alive thats when yoj realise you need to a supernatural being to believe in. You are now sick and rather tartered
Thats whe you need help and need to be loved and light to shine.
Take a close look at how many you have hurt and killed.
Some have even tried to counsell you-turn a plea to a deaf ear
You now have no jaws and strength to be boisterous

You cry and crave for a single drop of water
Your spiritual being is in tantrams and hard times you claimed


Salvation is the way.
