Collaborative Poem by:
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
Life is a piggy bank,
The little investment grains
You throw in it,
It saves.
It is a camera man’s memory box
That bulges with memories,
Moments of laughter and the lows.
It captures the trinkets,
The gems and profane.
Seed nothing and it saves vain wind,
With tots of disaster ingrained rains.
Slowly, slowly, the porridge goes
Into a piggy bank.
A chicken who keeps scratching the
Muck hill
Will soon find the rotund worm,
Life will upraise from comatose
When you bury hope and wait
For its nascency
You will reminisce the belittled
Piggy bank.
Disrobe its virginity against the
Severe wall,
Its debris will bleed, retrieved
Laughters and joy!
