U2's Bono... What is he thinking???????

When you think of U2 you think great music! They have been around since I can remember. 


Tonight my perception about them took a turn in the wrong direction. I would go as far as saying that I would NEVER listen to a single song of them EVER. I am so disappointed in them. 


Bono caused a stir in South Africa on Sunday after expressing support for the singing of an anti-apartheid struggle song that includes the lyrics "shoot the farmer". I do not support racism at all. I don't give a damn about skin. I believe that we are all South Africans and that we are all equal. I do not think Bono know what he have done. 


He thinks there is nothing wrong with a song like that and he called it 'folk music'. FOLK MUSIC??? Is he insane?? He is going to fly back to Dublin soon and leave people with the seed he plant while he was here making money, and a lot of it. He don't know anything about our history (that is clear) or our country.  People are suppose (a lot of people do) look up to him. And I am sure that many people value his opinion (sadly).

Sorry to say, I agree with Steve 100%

Where is God?

A lot of people ask the question :"Where is God in horrible times?" With horrible times I am not referring to losing your job or your car breaking down, I am referring to War and Natural disasters. Well, I guess everyone has their own opinion with regards to that question! All I can say is that God was there - he didn't turn off the TV or switch the phone to voice mail.

 God gave man free will - named choice. Sometimes he have to silently stand by, watching, crying, waiting for someone to call His name. If you do not ask you will not receive and God's time isn't our time. It is good sometimes to take a step back and listen, do not say a word just listen. You will be surprised what you will learn in silence.

Tonight I have answered a very often asked question out of my own perspective. You are welcome to share with me yours.

Yours truly
Poison

Jy Is

Ek het geen rigting, want jy is my kompas


Ek het geen krag, want jy is my krag

Ek voel sonder hoop, want jy is my hoop

Ek voel dood, want jy is my lewe

Ek dwaal in die duiser, want jy is my lig

Ek leef in die nag, want jy is my son

Ek is leeg, want jy is die een wat my vul

Ek voel soos n swendelaar, want jy is my tuiste

Ek voel benoud, want jy is my suurstof

Ek voel koud, want jy is die vuur wat binne my brand

Ek voel alleen, want jy is nie hier nie

Is it Her?

When you close your eyes, is it her face you see


When you look into my eyes, is it her eyes you wish looking into

When you are alone- thinking, is it her you find hiding in your deepest thoughts

When you tell me that you love me, is it her you want to hear those words

When you close your eyes at night, is it her face that haunts your dreams

When you whisper sweet nothings in my ear, is it meant for her?

When you kiss my passionately, is it her lips you desire

When you make love to me, is it her you long for

When you touch me with tenderness, is it her skin you want to feel under your caressing fingertips

When you search the deepest corners of your heart, is it her you find there

Is it her you want to come home to

Addicted

You brought light into the darkness that was me


Like the sun you gave me warmth

Like a breeze you kept me cool

Like the rain nourishing the dry desert, your love nourished my hungry soul

You were me and I was you

We were one in the bodies of two

You became my knight in shining amour

You rescued my very existence with every touch

I lose control to the mere thought that you are mine

You are my oxygen, my breath

You are in my blood, under my skin

You imprisoned my heart, the key keeper

I am addicted and you are the drug that keeps me from dying

You are the sweet poison, destroying my resistance

You are the alcohol that leaves me dizzy

You are the medicine that kills all pain

Dark Scent Of My Desire

Let the dark scent of my desire

Surround you

Arouse you

Intoxicate you

Fill you

Making you mine

Surrender in total submission

To the sweet taste of my darkness

It is the kind of darkness all dream of

Ache for

Long for

But so few can give

Step outside yourself and fall into me

Fall into my dark flame

That will set your deepest darkest needs on fire

Let my power consume you

Take you

Reducing your will to ashes

Leaving you standing free

Alive

Reborn

Mine

Just a thought

Sitting here, in my living room, I let my mind dwell into the future - MY future. I can't help but wonder where I am going to be in 10 year's time.... I know where I want to be, the question is: How am I going to get there?

When I look back in my past, not even way back, only 5 years, I can see how my live have changed. I am a beautiful daughter richer- she is 5 years old now!

So....I know that things CAN change, for the better of course! I just want to tell all the people out there that feels that they are in a dead spot in their lives at the moment that your live is your choice! No one else can take control of YOUR life! Only you! If you think about it, it is actually scary but yet comforting to know that.

Enjoy your weekend and remember: TAKE CONTROL!
