POEMS
IMPRINT OF IMPUNITY
Looking
At the staircase
Leading to Lugards house
As Luciferans lord over
Destroying due process
Disobeying court orders
Disfiguring our diversity
Singing song against sleaze
While allowing its own
Gyrate like goats
In s yam barn.
FETE!
Not a failure
Sitting on the saddle
Frolicking with your future
And asking for another mandate
To make more mincemeat
Of what is remaining
Make a detour as he draws near
To drum a dry message
And bring to the bin of history
An excruciating experience
Nobody wishes to exhume
From the memory.
THINGS STILL FALLEN APART
Inimitable wordsmith
Super story teller
Purveyor of proverbs
Initiator of illuminating literature
Conscience of the nation
Things are still falling apart
After you adverted our mind to that
THINGS STILL FALLEN APART
In that country
With black gold buried
In most cities
Where your umblical cord
Also is buried on its soil
Things still falling apart.
Inimitable wordsmith
Joshua Nkomo is not smiling
As he watches from beyond
With the land of his birth
Passing through stages of pain
Inflicted by hedonists in power
Things still falling apart.
Purveyor of proverbs
O' Bitecks backyard also among
The land trembling
As sit tightism takes over
And human rights on reverse gear
Putting inhabitants in fear
Things are still falling apart.
