Sammy Aswani Luyove Biography

Those sunken cheeks are not her own
My darling was a thing,
In fact those sunken cheeks
That you now call wrinkles
...

I remember some time back,
When I was the only child on your back
Food was plenty, I ate as I could
And me, I was all you valued,
...

I listened...and heard
The yelling of the poor child;
Bones bulging from the head,
And I wonder,
...

When tomorrow plans to go astray
Bowels won't hold but shaky shy
Yet tomorrow must come anyway
The sun sets and darkness draws nigh
...

There lives our stepmother
Far in the North East,
She enslaved the chosen generation,
And now she steals and banks our soils
...
