The Poetry Pulpit

This is a beautiful collection of poems by Was Lamuel. It is incredibly important that we accept Christ, while we still have time. Once we have been washed by the Blood of Christ, we will no longer have a need for Made Up Beauty. Follow us @PerfectLoveBooks on IG and FB. Have a Blessed Easter ♥

While I, Kay-Dee, applaud Xabiso and admire her for healing and turning her lessons into medicine for other women to heal, I really wish it wasn't necessary. I wish women were no longer prey. I wish women were safe in society... But until that day, we shall "Pray for men" and trust God to heal our land. Enjoy this double episode and be sure to join us on Wednesday at 6pm live on Instagram @TshabalalaXabiso and @KayDee_Mashile.

Let's go back to the basics! Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to apply English language principles to your writing? 💁🏾 Perhaps it is due to the fact that we sometimes skip some steps.

Share this with a couple of friends and a lot of kids who may benefit from it. Don't forget to subscribe to BecomingOfentse on YouTube for more of Miss O's awesomeness!

Today's episode is a sneak peak. This week on The Poetry Pulpit Reading Sessions, Kay-Dee reads various liberation poems from as old as "I have a dream" to more recent, local poems by young South African artists. We also look at the progress of freedom poetry vs the progress of actual freedom in our country and the world at large. Join us on Friday (tomorrow) Live at 3pm on the Perfect Love Publications Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/perfectlovebooks).
