Yehualashet Teshome Poems

For the deceit
For the illusion that I lived
For the maya
I believed was true
...

Been a fool all along
Worshipping your god
Blue eyed, blond angels
Made in your image
...

Eternal return
Born in 1955,
When I die
And come back,
...

Mutual understanding
No need to say it
We showed love
Pure affection
...

Prayed for years
Begging for mercy
No matter what I did
And then I wondered
...

Go to hell, pastor
I spoke with God
He told me that you were a chronic liar
Because you told me
...

I woke up
Greeted by the new sunny day
The universe smiled
Happy to see me back
...

Hats off
To the manipulator, the predator
Sharp as a whip
Smart as a fox
...

Took Bruno, my dearest white friend, to Africa
Showed him around
Breathtaking scenery
Exciting lakes, rivers, and mountains
...

The pawns I have created
Breathed life into
Just for fun
To play with
...

Why I cherish life
When it ends in disaster
Disappears into thin air
No idea where
...

I melted down in bliss
When she kissed me
Her tender love
A never-ending music
...

What is it that they hate and fear in us?
Big powerful black people
Strong in body and spirit
Taken down and humiliated
...

I set out
To explore
The cold dark world
Wearing a black skin
...

I met my younger self
A ten-year-old kid
Ready to embark
On a journey
...

Silence, please
Don't disturb
The beggars of the whole world
The wretched of the earth
...

I was at the doctor
Waiting for the miracle
Of being cured
People around me
...

You called me
The poorest of the poor
Statistics and false wisdom
So, I challenge you
...

My Alice white as snow
Blue eyes
I am black as coal
We live in conformity
...

The powerful and the powerless pay no taxes
The king is busy keeping his people safe and warm
So, he pretends
The beggar thinking of his next meal
...

The Best Poem Of Yehualashet Teshome

Life Owes Me An Apology

For the deceit
For the illusion that I lived
For the maya
I believed was true
And yet void
Strolling in the dark
A mere deception
Life has mocked me
Took pleasure in my misery
A cruel joke
I want justice
Or at least an apology
From life
