Emmanuel Arunee Mwanza Poems

The world has become tough for me
It seems the things of this world have overtaken me
The world looks stronger than me
And yet you are so far from me
...

When I was young I lived a dream
I had everything I needed in front of me, I created my world
I didn’t even know of the impossible…I had no limitations
Now I know why, I didn’t have a lot to think about…I couldn’t just see afar
...

Where are those gray haired days?
Days that families were united in smiles
Whilst enjoying the sweetness of the cool breezes
Staring the camouflage of the natural seasons
...

I am wondering if this is how the world should be like
I am inside my house yet I hear cries around
I am at school but it is just tears that I see
I ask myself, is this how the world should be like?
...

In a friendly country,
Life is not about who has power
Nor is it about those who have piles of artilleries;
In a friendly country life is whereby children play all day without fear
...

Patiently waiting...
Cautiously watching
Continously...alert and alive
Sitting there doing nothing but expect
...

I was like the lonely wolf in the world of love
And you came and walked with me
Somehow I was desperate to talk to someone
You showed up and gave me company
...

Watching you smile, is a pleasant view
It reminds me of the dawn of morning
As morning slowly grows into day
Your smile turns the gloomy, sad me into joy
...

Small I was then when I met you
A toddler was my look, yet had a big heart to love
My eyes, heart fell on you
My little love started to grow within the little me
...
