Collaborative Poem by:
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
In the weeny hour we eulogised
And embraced a new birth,
And the course was a flowery berth.
It was like a new home,
Where we all knew hope,
Pursuing the dream long denied,
For our chances we could not deride.
In due course
Hope blistered and bled hell
Dayspring palled like a rotted corpse
Hopeful birds flap but in busted
humiliation
As life heads to unhinged. Unborn
Moments
Where hope will never perch and
Roost on the national galaxy!
With beautifully sung songs buried
In decrescendo!
