This Stage And That Stage Is My Stage! Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

This Stage And That Stage Is My Stage!

Rating: 2.0


This stage and that stage is my stage!
I have been on this stage and that stage, every stage is basically my stage;
My life cycle is like a butterfly, I have gotten many lessons but I am still life's pupil; they say a heart full of hate can never make a lover (Larva) .
With a face like a boy, I always have to show my reg. I seem underage; they wonder how my face and my thoughts could ever merge.
Well I buried myself in books as a youngster that's how I learnt to tell the truth; God forbid, I can never be a dragee but despite my age even I urge to touch the sky.
I have been on this stage and that stage, every stage is basically my stage;
This poetry is not for fun I use it as a conduit, an outlet for my rage; with a temper that went to university, yes it has hot degrees careful lest you enrage me.
I write from my pain they say I turned a new page, writers deal with anger differently we are basically the new age.
I reckon that is why with this poetry I am no doubt another sage, wordplay just to build a hedge around my talent.
I have been on this stage and stage, every stage is basically my stage;
If I wrote a million poems would I get a wage other than death for all the scenes (sins)committed in my head?
I never claimed to be holy, read between these lines and see the underlying message but that only exists when I am offstage.
I write with hopes to communicate with a kindred spirit, because rhymes without any message are basically an outrage.
