Ruiner Poem by Tanaka Chirombo

My heart is full of anger
although in Malawi there is no hunger
but i seek revenge in my heart
wherever, whenever i sat

She ruined my best day
while it was my girlfriend birthday
i sit making a promise to myself
i will never care for her like keeping books on shelves

Some of my good friends laugh at me
But my girlfriend still loved me
i call the girl who messed our nice day
the 'ruiner' as she made it a bad day

i felt being betrayed
as fewer friends cared
i got hope and courage from them
as i felt like i lived inside my heart with them

the ruiner made it a bad day of my life
as my mother was sick and i felt like swapping life
this was the day for me to suffer
as my anger in my heart was buffer

i promised my heart not ever talk to her again
since she though i was a bargain
now i had build hatred
i guess now red was friend

now she thought i was scullery
but to the ruiner i became smarmy
as she became crumy
since she doesnt know that life there is a fulcrum

my girlfriend cuddled like a pet
as we were together in a net
all i do is nat protaste
since i live in a peaceful state
