Smoke Poem by Okello Baloyi

Smoke

I puffed my lungs away, exhaling my life to an early grave, trying to give my future something to live for, in a troubling society, got myself bringing life to this world, while the only inheritance I know is an unlawful pistol.

Hunger they say, flames throughout the country, chanting for one's rights while causing arson and not only killing our economy but dropping bodies in exchange.
