Dr Noah Kaliofas Marutlulle Poems

The road is straight and straight is the road, Lord,
A descendant of poor slaves from the stark dark African continent,
He was king of the world as much as he was king of the ring,
Today, a great, thick and fearful darkness has with absolute stubbornness befallen us,
...

The pain of a pain so painful,
The pain of the hopelessness of losing hope,
The dire pain of hopelessly plunging into dire hopelessness,
The pain of progressing very fast,
...

I did not decide,
To be Zimbabwean,
Neither did I decide,
To be in Zimbabwe,
...
