Elizabeth Jacqueline Mpanga Poems

I see you loosing your zeal for life,
I see you slow down in the lane of life,
You seem to be conceded defeat,
By what, I do not know
...

I cry,
You cry
We cry
...

Calculating mind you amaze me
Always thinking of a way to amuse yourself
Amusement at my hearts expense
...

I nagged, you mourned
I sulked and you groaned
I clung, you pulled away
...

Once I loved you and adored you
Now I despise and detest you
Once I thought I could not live without you
Now I long to be rid of you
...

i stare outside the window of my soul
i fear the unhappiness that i see
i fear the frailty of my body, my heart, my soul
i fear what is happening around me
...

You look in the mirror and you see an old broken woman
You see a used up body that no one will want
You feel worthless and unappreciated
You feel useless and unwanted
...

I am filled with so much saddness
I am on my way to see my prents
I ought to be happy after so long
Instead i am filled with saddness
...

All the pain i feel, All the anguish
All the humiliation
my heart has had to hold
...

Oh wicked soul,
Your wickedness is like honey-sweet venom to the rightoeus man's soul

Your words like piercing whistles to the rightoeus man's ears
...
