Tazviona Ngwena Poems

An apple in this world of unripe lemons-

distinct and all that a man could desire.
...

Economics of the ignorant,
Dry smiles on cracked lips
Hope for rain on cloudless winter skies.
Torn kites into windless heavens.
...

Civilisation and fifth heaven,
A foretaste of hell.
Barter trade for lusts bargain,
Men to shorts, women to slacks.
...

Sexual hormones plead for liberty
In magical dancehall decibels and sweetness of spiced chicken,
In experimentation with Mary-Juana
Confusion of virgin minds.
...
