My Love Is For The Living Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

I do not care about what I say for it has already been said by others before me
I say what I rather care about for it is of importance to me
I do not celebrate the dead neither do I hate the departed
My love is for the living for with them I commune
The comfort of the living is like a warm blanket in a Gweru winter night
The dead will never correct their errors but the living
