Jacques Sprenkie Mateya Poems

It took a pain to travel
A road so long
Had to travel it
I am face with connivers! Death?
...

Death died death
A tragic death of unusual death

Cemetery moaned, howled and wept alone
...

Dusty field is mindless horror reigned
And the blood is flowing like a Nile river in Marikina's dusty field.
Contemporary history is full of repetition
There is massacre in our mist again
...

Singing a silent song in language of ernegy
It comes out shy
Look! At it braches
Lenging eyes down
...

Don't call my Africa a moron!
After stealing its means
Poisoning its food
Larcenous its resources,
...

Truth has been loitering around her like a devil's advocate.
Found its alighting on her singular day
It came out and cleft her up
Like a walnut under elephant foot
...

Big tree by the road side in Ntwane
In the morning the shadow lean on the road
Under it! It clenches calm breeze.
...

Inherent of heredity as heritage
like ants gathering in heap
And cultural feeling dressed us
All with spirit of ubuntu
...

By now you are an ancestor in your own rights
And comforted by the Lord almighty himself

I was talking about you did you know that
...

I love you with love of lover
Who love each other with love?
Hence imitation makes limitations
...
