I Am Shona Poem by Poet jerrimos mugweni(ZVAVANHUVEVHU)

I have great empathy for all my audiences. 

 But am a Shona writer,   

i write about  The Shona People.  

I write about the Shona Cultures,   

 I am. 


I am the storyboard  of the great Shona Kings. 

Those who  traded Gold for  clothes,   

Ivory  for Jewellary. 

I am an Ambassador of  My People. 

I dance to shona Drums. 

I sing Shona Songs. 

I dream the Shona way. 

I respect the mirror,  

When i cry, it doesn't laugh back at me. 

The Shona people live in me 

And i live in them. 


I do everything in the Shona manner. 

I am the river of Words,  

Words that Define the Shona People. 

Chinyambera, mhande and muchongoyo. 

Nhodo, Zai rakawora neTsoro. 

Nhunguru Tsambatsi neMaroro,  

I sing songs of the Sotshangane tribes 

Songs of the ngoro ngoro. 

Songs of equality, Black Emancipation and injustice.   

I sing melodies of mbakumba   In Nyamatsatse.

I dream of African Shona people 

 I am A Shona Poet,  

I recite Rhythms and Rhymes.  

 I recite Poetic jingles.

I recite love.

I recite serious  propaganda.

I recite african Politics, the Shona way.

I shun all that become obstacles of Shona Progress.

I am  the Orator in the mucus of The age. 

 I am.

 I am the the Philosopher of The Shona Languages. 

I speak them all if you want me to.

 

I summon spirits,  demons, and God.

I represent Stupidity, academics, and literates.

I am the Shonological   Metabolism of language Digestion. 

I speak of  Mfekane  the battle that destroyed Changamire Dombo.
