A world of masks

In a world of masks, we walk unseen,

Hiding fears, pains—our secret scene.

Stories untold, falls unshared,

Demons chained, yet souls bared.

Life, not just a chessboard game,

Beyond success, our inner flame.

Seek deeper than mere win or loss,

Find love and warmth, no matter the cost.

Let's talk, truly hear, understand,

Open hearts, minds, extend a hand.

Embrace simplicity's gentle grace,

Act with kindness, laughter's embrace.

We're more than shadows, more than fear,

Hopes and dreams, we hold them dear.

Ubuntu's call, 'I am because we are,'

Roots and stars guide us from afar.

Wise words echo, grounding our flight,

"Our origins, our guiding light."

Honoring heritage, culture, our scars,

In our flaws, we find who we are.

Anger's heat, yet yams uncooked,

Emotions high, yet judgment overlooked.

Seek peace, harmony in our quest,

Forgive, repent, in this we're blessed.

River flows, time waits for none,

Chase dreams, under the relentless sun.

No shortcuts to the palms' high crest,

Face fears, doubts, in this we're best.

A lion's roar, no prey secured,

Boast not, let deeds be your word.

Carry your weight, your journey's bag,

In silent strength, let no spirit lag.

Celebrate diversity, unity's song,

Learn from past, where we belong.

Hope for futures yet unseen,

Live with ubuntu, in contentment serene.
