Thobile Masondo Poems

Africa my land
Land of the condemned
Your mountains are the measures of your strife
Your rivers are the measures of your tears
...

It takes princesses and princes
It takes the young and the old
It takes the innocent and the guilty
It takes the black, the white, the pink and the green
...

Don't cry for me my beloved
My time has come, the timer is still
I've sniffed a rose and loved the smell
I've heard the birds sing their lovely tunes and sang along
...

A wealth of knowledge,
An abundance of wisdom,
A heart full of passion,
A gift of healing hands,
...

Rat atat alang!
He speaks a language never heard
A tear slowly strides on his cheek
He seeks but cannot find
...

Helo rida
I tryng to writ poem for my inglish frend
I not speak the languag myself
I try to fid gud wods
...

Don't hide your face young beauty
The shame of your youth,
The poverty you know,
The horrors you've seen,
...

Write me a love letter
With no fancy rhymes or bombastic words
Impress me with your heart, not your ability and charm
Keep it simple and straight to the point
...

Careless decisions
Imperfect conclusions
Wrongful judgments
Another one bites the dust
...

Vile truths have been told by vile people
in the vineyard
Vindictively violating my dignity
Connected like a venous mess
...
