NDIRANDE 15TH JAN 2001

NDIRANDE, 15TH JAN 2001
For Peter Chupa,

It erupted
As though
It was just a dream.

Phoo! Phooo! Phoo again
“whats goin on!???”
our breastless women asked
“ The world has become crazy!”
men talked
“ help me pleaaseeeeee”
the hungry children cried
“tinchotsatu uyu,”
said the jobless men
“Makala asamuka muno mu Ndirande!!”
Phoo mumsika


Phoo! One more time.

I like your blog, specifically the poetry. And you remind me of someone who used to called Alinde Ngini Kuche some bygone days. I hope you are not the one, for you are too young to be him! You may also wish to visit my blog: www.kondwanikamiyala.blogspot.com I also love literature, and politics. Keep the posts coming!!
