There is a poem
This thing of ours
A caricature of bliss
Livid for a moment
Blossomed for a minute
Alas, it’s a song for a season
Like the summers that’s no more
But a shadow of its glorious past
This thing of our is a shadow of its past
A song that has been sang out of season
When no one is listening and nothing is left
Tell my girls, it’s a Queendom
They are the crown I wear
Though heavily adorned
It weighs me down
It pulls me up
Out of darkness
Into the light
Where all my fears
Are free to leave me alone
It’s dark, too dark to see
The dreadful winter lurking
The clouds above
Heavily dressed with chaos
Yet no sign of rain
When I see the dusty wind blow
And these leaves fly by
I know, you didn’t pray for me
I know why you see darkness
I know why the endless night
You are the moon
The light shinning in the dark
Don’t stop
Shine until dawn
Until the morning sun rise
When the night is dead and buried
Your time is coming
If it never dies
Through the night
Through the dark
When no one is there
And only silence is the shadow
That remains to keep you warm
If even then, in the midst of it all
It’s still beating within your heartbeat
Don’t ask questions
Don’t cry tears for yesterday
It is alive
It never dies
Lufu ndi Lufuno
Ndi mbingano isina tsaleli
Munwe na munwe ndi muselwa
Mufhululu ubvela we la mutavhela
Ahuna tsaleli na lau liada
Mufhululu wa lila sa ndwevha
Avha o swika muhwe asina mona
Lwawe lufuno ndi lwanzhe
Alu thafhi sa kutivha kwa madi
Ndi lufuno funo Alu taluli
Don’t worry much
The carrion is over due
The strong and might withers
In a time or season, It will be time to eat
So sit on the fence
Rock steady and watch time heal
Permanently, the wounds and scars
That have carried you through
Wait for it it’s coming
The platform is close knit
She is laughing with the world
Everyone is wilding
In this lonely pursuit of happiness
She is waiting for her ride
A train to Simon’s town
They crack at her jokes
Not knowing the cracks inside her
At last the giant millipedes
She found her peace in her pieces
Under the train to Simon’s town
The platform is shuttered
She got the last laugh
She won’t be going home
Keep talking
Keep walking
Let your sweat tell a tale
Where you have been
And the tomorrow within you
Don’t stop
Keep walking
And don’t forget
The dangers and snares
Things you saw yesterday
For today is a day brighter
Unlike the others
So keep talking
It’s your tale
Jeep walking
It’s your journey
