tinashe severa Poems

In the world of the blind
streams flow and roses grow
In the world of the blind
lions roar and fires smould
...

When you do choose to love me
love me not like your dear life
but as your wife
for life ends only in death
...

we all knew her name,
..we all knew her fame,
yet we all loved her just the same,
the brothers at the local pub bore he no shame,
...

He speaks, they all hear but no one listens
he points his guns at them , they all bow before him but no one respects him,
he smiles at the camera, they all stare at him on TV, but no one sees him,
he laughs with them at cocktail parties, they all smile back, but no one likes him,
...

The sun rises first before those who stand before it
it wilts those who try to rise too high before it
it is only those who rise before it
that know that it rises
...

Into eternities yard, some wont go
in my path, all will tread
fear not today,
I'm always at a beckons call,
...

The wind blows
the leaves rustle
still..the mill of justice churns slowly
..too slowly
...

Her thoughts and ways are pure as rain, crystal clear,
to his heart she truly is dear,
blinded to this none are,
yet from him she remains too far,
...

Post war babies, children of black rule
pick on both sides of the cake turned stale bread,
thoughts unpredictable, unstable, aliens in their own mother land
they know nothing about this world, neither do you
...

So you want to be a big person,
have you ever told the truth,
how good a thief are you ,
what is the best way to steal from a beggars plate,
...
