zimi Nakeni Poems

Seeds of today are flowers of tomorrow
Oh plant fellow Africans.
Oh plant to take away this pain and sorrow,
That is cursing our nation,
...

Chains of slavery are still over my people.
Notorious minds still over power innocent minds.
What can free the black child, what can free my nation?
I ask in pain and suffering in the dark jail cells,
...

Stolen nation, the nation without dignity.
What change to have if the nation has lost dignity and values, morality and ethics, humbleness and decency.
The blind has been leading the blind, for years and years you have been running in circles with no direction.
What happened to you stolen nation?
...

Worry not of my life
Worry not of my success
Those who lived in the golden age shall know that
There is no other way to understand my destiny,
...

I have met them all, I have seen it all.
No change I have seen, no prosperity I have noted.
Only hatred and anger among brother and sister.
Only sadness and sorrow in the faces of the children.
...

The smile you bear is worth all diamonds combined
You made a guy to lose his mind and heart combined
From coast to coast no one to meet your beauty,
I mean the love inside of you and its beauty.
...
