To Think At Peace Poem by Thabani Khumalo

If this I will archive before I'm buried beneath the grave, that:
I know many good answers about causes of physical activity;
that I may know 'what is' and 'what is not' by heart;
that I may be exempt of the unwritten law of consumption;
that I may only be friendly with everybody that I meet;
that I may know every corner of the planet and not get lost about any place
and know every girl by her childhood name,
only then can I be able to teach myself how to be calm,
and only then can I be able to think like a human.
I can only be happy if I am able to think at sincere peace,
that may be the only time I can be really sane.
If I die having reached at that freedom height,
my soul will rest in peace.
