Edward Dzonze Poems

This hatred
i so much condemn,
is man's worst form of relating.
If hate is the only food on the menu,
...

The story unfolds
darkness today
but tomorrow it will be day
We might not see but we sure know
...

They wore God
on their faces
To hide the devil
in their thoughts.
...

I don't have the financial muscle
To wrestle the American State President intellectually
If the truth be told;
I don't have half enough in my savings account
...

There is a mist on the throne,
everybody wants the dawn and not the beast
The streets choke, the nation bleeds
when the African gods deliver their wrath in a strange tone
...

Even if it rains in white snow,
I will shelter my head under a black umbrella.

For the white storm
...

One after another
she took them off
and throw them down nonchalantly
in my full gaze.
...

Flow with me
along the rivers of common sense,
Eroding the riverbeds of tribalism and racism
Revitalising the very essence of man's existence,
...

We heard them singing from a distance
and our hearts shuddered of fear.
We saw them taking charge towards us,
a mob of youths dressed in sponsored t-shirts
...

This
our beloved Africa is slowly turning into a death trap
From the senseless xenophobic attacks down south
to the 'irrational' religious wars north of the equator.
...
