Collaborative Poem by;
Norman Mwale [The PenPusher]
Stephen Mupoto [Ngugi Wamkiri]
And the prognosticated Moonshine
Dies within ash mounds
Dreams chased by blue promises
To perch on naked treetops
With vultures sing sweet poetry
Of self ego-centrism;
Their foregone feelings,
Lauding their incontrovertible victory,
Against this peeled life
Where cleft hope remains
The emblem of dying promises.
Titanically growing ashes cerement
And suffocate life,
Under the daffodils of life,
Whose withered shades
Are but sweet pain,
That sear through the dying flesh,
And rum the edges of sorrow,
Like the brisk strides of death,
Upon a dying nation.
Whenceforth we strum the
Discordant strings,
Singing eulogies to a dirge of our end,
Through this apocalyptic path
We traverse towards disdain,
And still slothfully expire!
