Ephraim Tshilo Poems

Students are lazy to learn and you won't see it on the aprons they wear
For if clothes were to speak voices would be banned
And our ears grow longer with desperation of what is true
We speak but it seems our word is not taken
...

I see my life before my eye, if I had two eyes
One I would use for my blinded site
The things that I fail to see, the downfall to the person I have to be
Pathway too weak for me and the Girl
...

You got your life, I got mine
Live yours and i will live mine
This is how I make, I decorate, how I break
most importantly how I live, this is my poetic life
...

I woke this morning
Thinking of yesterday
When the world was full of blood, when the world was full of tears
And I realised the day
...

This morning, i wake the sun hits my face
expecting warmness in the cold days of mzansi's winter,
I receive loads of happiness
How beautiful u are youth of mzansi
...

Don’t you have freedom to tell
Are you not allowed to ask
To free your opinion, your emotions, your feelings
Have you been raped or abused
...
