Donald Sumba The Sorrowful Past I have cried, so many tears paying for what I committed. The words kept haunting me, decided it was it was now time for me to rise.

Donald Sumba We Are Ourselves We’re different, we are unique We’re what we and who we are True beauty is from inside True buddies don’t die True feeling cannot hide, they say Together we’ll fight, together we’ll conquer Together we’ll make it though the days of darkness Be yourself, be your boss Be the best you can ever be, for this is The greatest thing you can do to yourself Donald Sumba Flame As my world came trembling down, I wondered how I would see just a ray in my room. My world was filled with gloom. As dad left us for his second choice and mum could tend her own. If I couldn’t understand the meaning of all these, my heart frowned. Tears filled my eyes and inside I was crushed having the unusual bad moods. I wrestled with myself, cursing every bit of life, why I was born in this crazy world. Was there a shoulder I could lean on? Thank God there were ``supporters`` who took me from the lane where I laid. They showed me the way of the living; the tricks for survival, the skills and the songs. I came out through the hells gate. I came out ``silver`` and ready set. And I know I can dance to the tune of the rhythm hoping for the best shots. Donald Sumba The sweet you I tried hard to forget about the sorrow The scar in my heart she’d caused And about the wrongs and the sad song she made me sing. The game was so perplexing that I found myself caught up She came with a smile, full of love in her arms were comfort and the joy I longed for She whispered romance in her lips Her beautiful eyes made my world turn around I could smell love in the atmosphere Ours was a genuine game, I convinced myself Not even the leopards could stop us It was then that I realized That she was not a heart breaker but a rich lover. Donald Sumba Love poem You are white and, I’m black But my feeling for you is colourless I’m not trying to be complex It is the person you created in me You are special, powerful and golden I cant stop thinking about you I saw you in your blue jeans and you looked good You had a white shirt and a bag on your shoulders Guessed you carried in it your chocolate But you were not moved by the torment I stand on the phoneless booth To make a call For the war is for the bold And I hope you’ll read my heart on the wall.

I think I need a reason, I need you to shower me with your love, for I am dry inside. Donald Sumba Sexy Super I met a super girl in the streets, her- drove me insane. She was lovely and neat. I swore to my myself that I would make her mine she had a blue trouser and a tight top and walked in a queenly gait.

My heart skipped a beat the moment you looked at me, I froze but I didn’t show you ha d already lit The moment we parted, I was cold inside , I couldn’t sit The moment is gone, but I will always treasure the girl so sweet. Donald Sumba My Only Defeat ( Bert Love) I came to your home the other day with love written in music and cards for you but you pierced with the nail. I thought the gifts would please you and win for I was fooled. I sacrificed my life to give you the best I could, a poor lover, naïve and confused. I wished I knew the rules of the game, I wouldn’t fear, fear to love the tough girl. I wouldn’t fear to come to your home, I wouldn’t fear to appreciate you I wouldnt fear just because I regret and sometimes bless Hoping to change in time Though things, I know, will never be the same again. Donald Sumba Remenisce Love I will always leave to remember, the treasured moments, of you and me. The jokes we made, and the places we treaded The friendship bond that was there The fights that we fought over issues that were minor The bunch of roses, candies and chocolates at your gate The love we brought and all we did for the sake I wonder if I will live to see the resurrection of our love, from the grave. Donald Sumba I Know I know you are the lion, the king of all You scare away all my enemies I offer myself a sacrifice, to you my saviour. You heal my sick life you give me peace. I know you are the breath I take, the heaven bread. You stick closer than a brother The I and I, the beginning and the finisher The blessed song, pure and beautiful, the true Lord, the everlasting rock, I know you are Donald Sumba When Sun Will Come Back When the sun will come back, I will scream for I’ll be free Dining on the sweet freedom, we’ll dance with joy We’ll shine like the stays We’ll forget about the oppression of our people We’ll write songs, and play it in round Donald Sumba Thank You For Being My Friend I heard about a site, fun to go through. It transformed my nights, and tutored in my school. I heard about a place, where I could post my sorrow. A place where I could share my joy and the dreams of tomorrow. I heard about someone, ‘who loved Thy neighbor’, The gift God gave in glamour, A true friend, my special treasure. Donald Sumba Faded Blue Where are you, my love Where did you hide in You disappeared with the hope I’d built You made away with my shin. I’ve been trying to find you, in the hills and the valleys.
