BRENDA KANSHABE TUMUSHABE Poems

Today is the only time
to plan your tomorrow
for when the sun has set
and the moon has come
...

Do what you can
good or bad
touch whatever
get what you can
...

All the depressed
Bring all your sorrowTthat i may wrap them
In the scroll of love and care
Away from the tender heart
...

No one seemed to know
how i felt after your departure
gone and forever
...

Gone swimming
already in the ocean
where many have paddled
gone paddling in the waves
...

Depressed and desperate
The best description
Like concrete compressed
To know you lived
...

gone are the days of self will
got to be supervised
got to be self esteemed
got to be independent
...

the only man i loved
with whom i could share an emotion
our blood flows in the same blood vessels
only the stream's water can tell
...

look at me am nothing but a girl
not downcasted by my gender
emancipated and strong
not only in body but also in mind
...

pick courage and bravity everyone
to do your best for your good
and the good of our country
the future pleasures belong to us
...
