THEY’RE SINNERS! WE’RE SINNERS!

By -

Years of piled up pain, decades of covert hatred
Pages after pages of documented hostile peace treaties
Passed on from leaders to lesser, hearts to history books
From father to child, the flame of unrest burning
Burning up the last vestiges of calm, growing
Growing far bigger than the dreams of grandeur of
A young, adolescent girl. The melodies of armistice
Turning into cacophonies of hate, and hate,
Hate is just like a chainsaw awaiting its handler
To wield its ferocity through vast forest of humanity
Obliterating even the unsuspecting

 The Blames, the Blight, the Strife, the Strikes
Soaking up the hearts, diluting the soul into
'Nanonites of insubstantiality'. The body turn apart
Dragged down into turbulent murderous tsunami of treachery
Unwilling to change, unprepared to forgive
Resting their tush on all the wrongs of yesterday
Failing to grow, failing to develop, failing to provide
A basic atmosphere of serenity for which the
Children of earth could flourish from

 After having worked for freedom, fought for freedom
Bled for freedom, the chains released are now
Replaced with shackles of hate, ropes of discord and
Webs of racism, where then is the freedom we
Fought so valiantly for?
No gain will come from this full circle
I tell you my friend.

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.
