Mfoniso Urua Poems

You have gone through the stages on the planet
Seen the good, the bad, and the ugly
Fought battles
Seen days of victory
...

If you will, you will
If you believe you will
If you see it you will
If you pray it, you will
...

The cloud is a promise the sky will burst forth with rain
Teachers are a promise our streets will not be bereft of Educated minds
Babies are a promise we will have adults tommorow
Flour is a promise we will not be starved of pastries
...

If love is a song let me sing it
If love is a movement let me join it
If love is a dance, can we put on our dance shoes
If love is a house let me live in it
...

Behold your king
as we look into his face
Nothing stays the same, absolutely nothing
we find direction in a crooked path
...
