Lisbon Tawanda Poems

Brothers, I had a dream last night,
I dreamt Africa was now full of light! !
Her poverty was a thing of the past,
And those who were first were now the last! !
...

'Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.'
(2 Timothy 2: 3)

Stand in the victory that Christ has won,
...

When I quarrel my voice reaches to the South,
Lord, put a cello tape on my mouth,
I want to relearn speaking,
That's all I am seeking
...

I once preached to a man in a telephone booth,
Long ago during the days of my youth,
I grew up different from the other boys,
As a little boy I studied the scriptures and avoided toys
...

Our graduates are playing soccer in the business district,
Because our economic policies are too strict,
They hinder the creation of jobs,
They trigger the rising of mobs,
...

This union between me and Amanda—
Let no man put asunder.
This woman I met at the hospital,
She completes me and makes me whole.
...

The soulties now lie broken,
Like vows that went unspoken.
The covenants we made in trust,
Have crumbled all to dust.
...
