Marlon Khoza Poems

Not ourselves

We no longer have tears
To discard anymore
...

Who'd have ever thought...
About the world becoming so motionless
Feeble and partly cold
As it gasp through the gash of Covid-19
...

Why is he there in sunny and in rainy
In the cold winter and blazing summer
At the crossroad of life and death
This corner is his home
...

Why wait for the rain
When crops are drying up
fields pounding up
By hovering dust that will grow in to a mountain
...

They built a house
Painted it white just the way they are
And named it the 'white house of hope'
Spew now, mother!
...

unmasked and unmarked
and let it glint
love dwells not in ecstasy
but in jovial hearts that fling and flug
...

When the lockdown end
we shall reach up the sky
with our huefull innocent wings
We shall soar
...
