kawoya alosius Poems

I GOT FLOWERS
I got a banquet but it wasn't my birthday,
Well packed and sprayed with good scents,
The banquet was filled with flowers,
...

These stretch marks my son, prove me a woman,

One of those who has been ordained,
...

Hand in hand,
I walked with him,
He took me to the top of a hill,
And told me what i longed to hear,
...

Whenever it rains
I get flash backs,
My soul is thrust to a place far away,
Emotions start piling themselves in me,
...

MAMA

It's your whispers i hear whenever i keep quite,
...

After the dangers the wind has caused,
We will be refreshed with new hopes,
We will forget the troubled times we've been through,
All the trauma the wind has caused will be history,
...

From a far distance,
The beats were heard,
With such a joy they were sounded,
One would feel the happiness they resurrected,
...

RY THE BELOVED STATE

Cry and wail as much as you can,
...
