Poetry

by Takudzwa Denny Ziwenjere

Peeping through the spaces between O’sZooming through the lens in zoetic rhymesBrowsing through files of alliteration atrocitiesFraudulently acquiring factual funds

Emotional commentaireof a sad love storyTrying to apologize,a way say sorryRuthless expression of a social standing,totally torySometimes, abstract,just scribbles for some gloryA knife to murder speculations,words so gory

It’s not a word with liesPoliticsIt’s a word with livesPoetics

Slowly becoming an expatriate we asylum herSlowly loosing recognition, we strive with herHaving been given a voice, I owe her

We teachWe preachWe glorifyWe romanceWe cryWe pour out our viewsCollectively we poeticise
