Me
In the classroom

black and white are not really
opposites
you know

a clever child once
told me this-
they much rather
complement
each others'
blissful specialness
revealing
all the million shades
in between
To this clever child who will always do well ❦

To and fro to and fro
Faster and faster
Until the world whirls by
Goes the boy on a swing
If he would only learn to take it slow
Maybe then his trousers
Would learn to fit
And the world
Would in his head cease to meet
Maybe we Africans should
Check ourselves and not blame it all
On racism
Don't hate me for saying this ok
Just felt we should know!

Flip the pages
What do you see?
Check the safe
Nothing about me.
Swift steep stride
Getting nowhere in life
I close my eyes
Hoping there's enough time.

He snuck in
So quietly without sound
He stole from me
As gradually as he can
Creating in me a vacuum
I feel so empty inside
Leaving me with nothing
But sorrow and grief
How do I start anew?
The questions in my head ring.
I turned round to the cross
And found in Him I an live
In respect to all who have been robbed of their loved ones

Bright as a star be
Lonely it is within
When within miles afar
Isolate it sits in the sky
When planet🌏 in orbit greet
Solemnly he seeks a friend indeed

To will and to be
Are negative aligned phrases
To what we aspire to be
As been with so many cases
