oliver phiri Poems

A peaceful mind…the life I left behind
A simple real life...Not an abstract with complicated minds
A life full of joy and pride…a life I wish I could rewind...
As though I’m waiting for jail sentence, I’m in remand
...

This will just make you feel hurt
…. so much that you’ll hate
This is the time don’t wait
Little sister cant you see….
...

Ginger my Ginger
Why are you waving your tail? Ginger!
I don’t really understand…all I know is that you are not out of hand
...

Cindy, before you came to my life
It was windy
I couldn’t see clearly coz it was also dusty
Then it was rainy
...

Like an avalanche came the scourge…
Babies, men, women and the aged
It knows no age…
Hundreds died in just its early stage…
...

Mercy! Since you left every thing is in a mess
My heart, my soul, my- everything are all in a mess.
As though this is not enough...Things are tough;
..
...

There was a gathering…
It was a meeting for the big dogs.
I mean big dogs.
The cats, the rats, the bats…
...
