2. DESTINY
Destiny where do I find you?
Destiny where can I look for you?
Destiny where are you hiding?
Why are you hiding from me?
Destiny what do you have for me?
Destiny what are my options?
Destiny which door is open for me?
Destiny do you have anything for me that I might want?
Destiny can I get any satisfaction from you?
Destiny are you my friend?

3. UNMISTAKEN DESTINY
Dreamt about the destiny
Followed hard to pursue the destiny
Bumps and humps but still like a sticker stick on to it
Definitely it is not a mistaken one
Read the signs and the co-incidences
Everything was spoken
Written mostly
With no regrets and forgiven for not being the unmistaken destiny
Expectations and set backs
Destiny motivates and smiles
Reminding it is meant to be the fruits of those seeds
Fate of being the unmistaken destiny
Matching skills and experiences
Familiar thoughts and incidents
Similar appreciation and thoughtfulness
Mistaken the destiny as unmistaken destiny

4. MY DESTINY
My destiny lies beyond the Borders of Africa
My destiny lies beyond the majestic Maditerenean Sea
Not even I, can begin to define the greatness of my destiny
Because my destiny lies beyond the exotic animals of Africa
Mt destiny was planned,
iziHlwele ze (Indigenous language word for 'Ancestors of') Africa
danced
Because my destiny was predstined in Mama Africa's bossom
while fighting for freedom my destiny was knitted in my mothers womb
My destiny is to Educate
And prejudice Iradicate
Our African rythm and curves will American girls intimidate
While leaving European men
unable to breathe and comprehend
That is where Wanelisa' destiny lies
IS THE WORLD READY FOR THE REVOLUTION THAT IS I?

5. FATE AND DESTINY
Who can tell us what Fate and Destiny are?
Who can tell us what our Fate is?
Who can tell us what our Destiny is?
Fate. Destiny.
People say we cannot choose our Fate, but we can choose our Destiny.
People say we are Fated or Destined to do/become something.
Fate. Destiny.
Are they different?
Are they the same?
People say we can choose Destiny and we are Fated to do it.
People say that our Destiny is open, but our Fate is sealed.
Are Fate and Destiny the same?
If our Destiny has yet to be chosen but our Fate is sealed, then is not our Destiny already
chosen, but unseen to us until the opportune moment?
Fate. Destiny.
When is the opportune moment?
At what point in our life will our Fate and Destiny be revealed?
Or will we realize what our Fate and Destiny are only when it is too late?
Or will we pass our Fate and Destiny without knowing it?
Fate. Destiny.
If someone tells us what our Fate and Destiny are, will we like what we hear?
Or will you strive against the path set before you?

6. DESTINY (PART 1)
My destiny is true
For all I had done
My destiny is you
For what you become
From time to time you came
My heart is broken
Upon the sadness
That you stolen
My destiny is gone
Without an answer
You came to me
With so much pleasure
I'm feeling hope
And sad for you
Don't tell me
Tell the truth

7. DESTINY (PART 2)
Destiny has come
Upon me and you
Don't you know
It's my point of view
Day by day
Destiny goes
Who am I
To say no
My destiny is here
Without no dought
Do you hear me
With your shout
I'm far away
From your love
Time to time
I must bust

8. PERSONAL EXPLICATIONS
I chose these poems about destiny because they reminded me
of my writing style.
Rarely any rhyming but sending a message about who you are.
I appreciate these poems because not only do they send a
message that the writer wishes to get across, but they also
inject personal afflictions into them as well. For example. In
“My Destiny”, The author writes about wanting to leave
Africa and prove herself to the world.
And in the last poem, “Destiny”, The author writes about his
feelings toward a woman that he cares deeply for and has
great affection towards. You can tell just by reading the
poem that he loves her greatly.

9. PERSONAL EXPLICATIONS
In the poem “Fate and Destiny” The author talks about The
different yet similar topics of fate and destiny he quotes a
few times throughout the poem. “Fate, Destiny, are they the
same?” The poem seems to express his concern for the
outcome of his life as well as the outcome for others, and
what they intend to do to change their destiny to what they
want it to be and what they intend to do to stop the fate
that await them.
In the first poem titled “Destiny”. The writer asks if Destiny is
worth the time and if destiny is a friend. The writer seems
unsure as to what his/her destiny is in life and wonders if it
is anything worth-while. The author is also confused it
seems, Confused as to why his/her destiny is hiding.

10. PERSONAL EXPLICATIONS
The poem “Unmistaken Destiny” is about
someone who had a dream that they had found
their destiny, and they go out to search for it
The writers seems to see things for what they
really are, and seems to see the unoriginality in
the world today. The writers uses a unique
writing style that really helps get the point
across that everything has been done and
everything has been spoken.

11. DESTINY
Hello, What? Where?
I did not hear
The sound that echoes through these halls
What was that?
You fear the end, the clock ticking down
Ticking away our very souls till we vapor
I do not understand
Why? Why end this already shamed world
Prosperity
I believe in rejuvenating the world to prosper
Beliefs
Nothing but empty promises and empty thoughts
Religion
Force feeding brain washing the masses
With images of a higher power
Destiny
This is mine to control, mine to figure out
What is destiny?

12. A BITTER HEART
A burning sensation deep in my heart
Forbid me to see you right from the start
Your love and your passion then drove me ins
While the lover inside me grew further in vain
Higher and higher the flame in me grew
While the fire inside you out the wind blew
Away you went and left me alone
To ponder outside and freeze to the bone

13. THE HAND For reasons I look for reasons I stare
For reasons I can no longer see
While search I do for my destiny
There is no stopping us, we
We the children, we the people
We stand together and we stand proud
We stand forever and shout it out
Fate’s hand will take your life
But only you can decide your own destiny.

14. BELITTLEMENT Belittle me belittle my esteem
Belittle what I am belittle my dreams
Belittle my heart belittle my mind
But belittle not what I have planned
Destiny is mine and mine alone
I control it with plans to take control
Control is what I desire most
Destiny, Divines, and an arrogant boast

15. POLITICAL DAMNATION
I hear them, the words they so solemnly speak.
I see them, making the rules we are forced to follow.
I feel them, The heaviness I receive on my shoulders at a
glance.
Those who control me those who command me, with their
words
I have nothing, they have it all.
They have the power and the rule over me; they have the
power to do away with me.
Who are they?
They are what stop the chaos that awaits, while still causing
chaos.

16. POLITICAL DAMNATION 2
They take away ones pain while inflicting pain to another.
They are the very reason we over protect and under achieve.
Yet, we still serve them, we still live to please them.
We are the brainwashed masses that thrive by appealing to
them.
Them, they are the reason for our hardship and our
suffering.
They do nothing to help and everything to avoid.
We, we as the hero’s and the people suffer through it all.

17. POLITICAL DAMNATION 3
While the fat cats sit back in their chairs and play us like
monopoly.
I refuse; refuse to be played like a pawn in their game.
Life is treated like chess, you are forced to play until every
piece is gone.
Every piece of you is gone, Why do we go on?
We go on because we are told riches await us.
We go on because they tell us we want to.
I go on for the hopes of one day finding life.
Finding something worth living through this for, outside of
this political damnation

18. EXPLANATION
I included these poems for my theme of Destiny because they
each represent something different but at the same time
they all revolve around Destiny. I chose Destiny as my
theme and my father as the recipient for many reasons. I
chose Destiny and my father because they meshed together
perfectly as a theme and recipient, My father always pushes
me to go through with my dreams and always pushes me to
get out there and sing in front of crowds, so I always have
something to strive towards to find my own destiny.
Destiny: I chose this poem because it pretty much begins to
establish the theme but at the same time also corresponds
to my confusion as to what my destiny will be.
A Bitter Heart: I chose this poem for the reason that I am
horrible when it comes to dating. And it expresses my
concern as to how I feel on relationships.

19. EXPLANATION CONTINUED.
The Hand: I chose this poem to represent the destiny of my
family and friends along with myself “We The Children, We
The People, We stand together, we stand proud. Represents
my family, friends and I standing together to overcome
whatever may be thrown our way.
Belittlement: This poems expresses my hatred for being
belittled by people around me, The people that put me down
and the people that feel distinguish towards me. This poem
represents my thrive to make them eat their words, so to
speak.
Political Damnation: I included this poem because it expresses
my despise of the government and those who look down
upon us and those who belittle us. It explains my concern
that we are helpless in this world and helpless to the powers
that look to control us.
