Discordant Voice Poem by Jabulani Mzinyathi
Discordant Voice
when you sing the sweet melodies
mine will be the discordant voice
hold you by the scruff of the neck
repeatedly shaking the conscience
the conscience you now trample
under the jackboot of your gullibility
drenched by the water cannons of fear
see the rising storms of poverty
desperation walking along the streets
hunger thunder rumbling in the bellies
the mountains of hopelessness rising
lives decimated by scythes of diseases
hoping that the sun will shine once more
that there will be reverberations of laughter
a poem with a strong message of hope for a better more sharing world in which to live? .............superbly written.
The sun will shine once more..... congrats on being chosen.. a big 10+++++++
