Qiniso Mogale Poems

An old man sitting under a tree
Sees much further than a boy
standing on top of a tree
An old man sittting at the bottom of a mountain
...

Sometimes, there is strength in numbers
Sometimes, the numbers are given strength
Tiny grains of sand make up the entire beach
A small handful of grains is easily moved
...

Rivers never go reverse
If all could emulate rivers
If all could live like rivers
Forget the past hurts
...

As world super powers threaten war
As world super powers prepare for war
As they assemble their weapons of mass destruction
As they test the might of their weapons
...

At the Mountain top I look down
and I reflect on my past
At the mountain top I look down
and I realize how far I've come
...

The heart does not chose whom to love
The heart does not know when to stop loving
The heart seldom reasons
The heart is ruled by emotions
...

Waking up every morning
That is a gift
The air we breathe
That is a gift
...

Nothing makes sense anymore
All seem confused and disoriented
Priorities are misappropriated
Illusions have become facts
...

A cry for justice
A cry for vengeance
A cry for retribution
A cry for vindication
...

Forgive silent apologies
Forgive unheard apologies
Forgive invisible apologies
Forgive unuttered apologies
...

Beauty is only skin deep
Beauty can be a façade
Beauty often times deceives
Beauty often times manipulates
...

Through the storms
Stand by me
Through my trials and tribulations
Stand by me
...

A star that once shined so bright
A star that gave many light
A star that gave many hope
A star that took away that hope
...

They are very important today
They have distinguished titles today
They are very proud of what they are
They are very proud of who they are
...

Someday death shall die
A time shall come when death shall die
Sometime in the near future death shall die
Soon and very soon death shall die
...

The heart won't release the one
it loved first
The heart won't let go of the one
it first loved
...

Wanting to be the only ones who shine
They strive to outshine
They block other people's lights
They destroy other people's lights
...

A thin line separates love
and hate
A thin line separates sanity
and insanity
...

On the day of their wedding they
promised to love each other forever
They vowed till death do them apart
But soon as the honeymoon was over
...

They thrive in chaos
They thrive in disagreements
They thrive in conflict
They thrive in discontent
...

The Best Poem Of Qiniso Mogale

An Old Man Sitting Under A Tree

An old man sitting under a tree
Sees much further than a boy
standing on top of a tree
An old man sittting at the bottom of a mountain
sees further than a boy standing on top of a mountain
The old man has acquired unmatched wisdom
The boy thinks foolishness is wisdom.

When the old man offers advice
The boy laughs mockingly
When the boy grows taller than the father
He thinks that he is now older than the father
That's why most of the youth are in graves
That's why most of the youth are in prisons
That's why most of the youth lie critically in hospitals
That's why many die young
That's why many wont experience old age
They refuse to listen to old men
They scorn the advice of old men
Standing on top of a tree a boy mistakenly believes
that he sees further than an old man sitting under the tree.

Qiniso Mogale Quotes

Mistakes must serve as lessons equipping the people who made the mistakes not to repeat the same mistakes in future. Future generations must also learn from such mistakes: that's the sole necessity of History. History was never meant to repeat itself

We often run other peoples races neglecting our own races in the process. On judgement day we have to account for our own races and I wonder what will most people tell God?

Material treasures can not be taken to the spirit World. Most people are concerned with temporary things. The devil has them exactly where he wants them.

Let all live knowing all shall die. Death has no favorites.

Emotions and faith have never complimented each other; instead they have always competed against each other.

We can never outrun God Almighty because He is Everywhere; it is a futile exercise which would be best realised whilst one is still young.

Many need to understand that in exercising their rights they should not step on other people's rights.

Our souls must not be sold to the devil no matter how much money he offers.
