Maniraguha Ferdinand Poems

Waking up every morning, to see the sun has set

Looking around, twist and yawn, the thermos is empty
...

What a great day
When I am dead
When no longer need a bed
When I will be locked
...

A layman am I an outcast, or nation's motto has changed?

In front of the secretary, a cheap man I stand
...

This man who pulls my legs whenever I climb
This man who block the road when I pass
The man whose talks when I am gone
The man I fear the most
...

They say I am a grandpa

My hair is grey I admit,
...

When rainbow comes, sometimes I lost

To the marshland of my childhood
...

When sunset arises I see them rising from the bush

Down the great river Nyabugogo with their frozen fingers
...

The Best Poem Of Maniraguha Ferdinand

Hungry For A Laughter

Waking up every morning, to see the sun has set

Looking around, twist and yawn, the thermos is empty

Take shower, approach wardrobe, white shirt and black trousers

Frown face, today's posho seems to far

Baby's school bag feels too torn

Cherie's stomach punching too soon

Mine head ought to lift these all

My cotton money dried one week ago

Face, Wrinkles have drawn too early

A laughter to me seems too bad

Though Bebe wishes too much
