RECONCILIATION

(Dedicated to the FROM CONFRONTATION TO RECONCILIATION ART EXHIBITION to he held at the Bulawayo Art Gallery on the 30/04/09)

Please tell me
Is it that kite
Flying high in the sky
Out of reach
Of our hands, our hope
Whilst schools close
And our children
Learn to sell their bodies?

NJELELE

(Dedicated to the FROM CONFRONTATION TO RECONCILIATION ART EXHIBITION AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY IN BULAWAYO 30/04/09)

Let all those that have desecrated
Against the sanctity of humanity -
Let them all come forward
To the all-seeing shrine of Njelele
Let them kneel at the alter of forgiveness
So the spirits might exorcise from their nightmares
That eternally accusing eye and the screams
Of all those helpless victims of yesterday
For a better today and tomorrow

The Green House Effect

The mighty God
By divine hand
Beams us His blessings
From the heavens above
That they can warm our hearts
And drive out all those bad airs
Back to him for incineration
Before He can beam us
Another dose again
In answer to our daily prayer -
And,
Before those bad airs
Can get up to him
The rogue politicians
Trap them in the atmosphere
And bounce them
Back to us again
To play havoc
With our mental climates
Reducing us
To their fools
And utterers of hate speech.
