Am I Right Poem by Sir Tshiamo Modise

Am I Right



Am I right to write to light the world
Am I right?
Am I right to write to right the world
Am I right?
Am I right to write to forfeit my blood
Am I right?

Yes even right deeds can be incorrect depending on the context
Just like the possibility of lack of sight even when it is bright
Despite the mate to foe conversion due to what I write
Despite threats of life converted to an eternal sunset and night

To my pen, paper, truth and passion I shall hang on tight
Since inking my feelings in black and white has always been a delight
Suicide and self-torture are infants of “everything shall be alright”
And emancipation has never been achieved by fright

My heart pounds: don’t keep quite
My heart pounds: write
My heart pounds: recite
My heart pounds: follow my beat
