Onalethuso Petruss Ntema Poems

ECHOES OF AN AFRICAN TEAR: a Poet's Lament

I imagine an innocent child;
Waking up to the wave of xenophobic violence too near than far,
...

Fear is like fallen leaves,
It scatters in distant dreams,
...

wrap me in your arms
of comfort
sing to me the songs
of one thought
...

memories

memories of the past
memories of the present
...

path of roses

i took the path full of roses
endured the love of roses
...

her golden eyes
see mine
through her eye
shadows
...

[TAWANDA MATEMAI, ZIMBABWE]
...

i would be you,

if wishes were choices
i would choose one
to roar my voices,
...

afrika

the rivers of the wilderness,
polluted and looted by modern philosophy
...

carry me (a river)

carry me a river
take i there, by the river
...
