Isaac Maliya Poems

Eyes as red as crimson
Lips spitting venom
Hearts filled with iniquity
Why do they smile?
...

Humanity is in need
Of feeding itself
Of knowing itself
Of rediscovering itself
...

Yokes
On our shoulders
"Right" men don't have shudders
Yet, these are the days
...

The poet has no soul
But he can fall
While in his secure sit
Into an eternal pit
...

There is light
In the receding dark night
As there emerges bright
Where everyone is right
...

It comes, it goes
It is never permanent
It is never temporary
...

Eu, quero cantar
Cantar uma musica
Musica de uma dor
Dor de amor
...

The city of hope
Where citadels face away
From the realities of 'povo'
It's our Maputo, Maputo! !
...

What difference is there?
One of love
One of money and hate
Prostitution is all.
...

There is a light
In this darkness
Misfortune lurks
As in “Turks”
...
