For we all have sinned

By -

Do you go along pointing out peoples faults or better still do i?
Do we compliment ourselves forgetting the rest? What is sin?
Or what is not sin?
Picking popular prejudiced sides or thronging with those that do all
The right?
Traipsing through tunnels of morality all the while mind blocking
All that which we have omitted.
Why do we keep looking at our reflections in the pool, all the while
Only seeing the shadows lurking behind
Why do we not see the it in us? choosing to chase out the shadows inside
Before running after that which is out?

Most at times life is just a rose, we are the ones making weapons out of it.
Casting blames when it is possible just to be plain, yes being yes and no is no
All that et cetera.

We go about faulting colonialism for our underdevelopment, forgetting to thank slavery for all our strength.
Difficult, I know, but one thing to note,
We all have sinned
Ponder well! you’ll see.

Campfire

The crackling and cackling of sticks burning The distant sounds of owls hooting Children, parents attentively listening To the old man quietly speaking Complaints unheard even with insects biting campfire storytelling Shivers unseen with the wind blowing All are sitting with the fire blazing Listening to that old man talking Stories of time past, the future bringing Lores as old as the oroko spilling Tension in all sweetly sweeping Even as the old man is coughing It is the now, the future coming From the campfire, the words whispering For our traditions keep changing But old men will always keep telling

SHE, In Africa

By Norah -
Makang Norah She works, She Thrives, She Toils She Weeds, She Plants the Soil Underpaid, Overworked, Under Looked From the depth, She paves the Lane A tunnel spiraling towards Day She is Africa, Its She in Africa. She, last in succession She, placed as possession Not considered, not regarded But from ashes, she molds the way A path uniting the stray She in Africa, building for Africa.
