Gossipers
Hissing like a snake
Bending the heads like sleeping woods
Telling lies and exaggerated stories
Laughing like a crazy mouse
Imagine all these without a profit.

The Tears Of The Sky
I love the tears of the sky
When I ask myself why
I can reply
That I don't like the day dry
Otherwise I'll cry
Down I'll lie
Because of hunger I'll die
I really love it available
And in my heart it's acceptable
Since it brings something palatable
Other people say it's horrible
In my heart it's unbelievable

Natural Disasters
What's wrong with nature
Cracking my house through earthquake
Trees practicing their weathering there
Yet washing away my dishes
Damaging everything in my house through floods
Tilling my house through landslide
Attacking me with epidemics
I wish it would warn me first
If I was the cause
Why wouldn't it tell me?

The Poem Of The Kindergaten
Mum, dad all are gone
Leaving me a child alone
Mum, dad where are you?
Go to town and buy my shoe.
Hey! Listen up!
Mum and dad will buy a bike
Books and clothes and all I like
Dad is going to buy a vest
Mum's new dress will be the best.
Hey! Listen up!
Everyone will have new thing
Wait and see what they all bring
Will all put on our new clothes
A shining family likes a rose.

To My Lover
Life without you is always tough
I can spend my whole life with you
But I can never get enough
You affect whatever I do
When I'm crying in sadness you make me laugh.
A week seems to be a night
And a year just flows like a stream
Every time I'm with you, time goes before I hold you tight
When you go away I just wish to make it a dream
So that when I wake up you should be in my sight.

The Mind
There rings the bell
The dream strikes hard
Awakening the girl
A dream so bad
There comes joy
The thoughts strike hard
Happy is the boy
In the end gets mad
There goes hope
Night strikes hard
Man hangs on a rope
A story so sad
There sounds the gun
Day dream strikes hard
The woman can't run
Just waits for the blood
There comes war

The Dawn Of Freedom
The wind blew
And the birds flew
Our lake matching with sky blue
Crops we grew
Our mouth stuck together like glue
Under the British rule
We had no clue
On what to do
Any of us was like a fool
Since we had an improved tool
But to use it nobody knew
Chilembwe fought for me and you
And for our offspring too
He has brought something new
Unfortunately he can't view
But his presence shall continue
And our history will always remain true.

Our Lives For Sale
As long as we adjust
Our lives are for sale
Like a mouse's tail
Today we are health
Tomorrow is our death
Our lives are for sale
Our ancestors could tell
Now enjoying with our wives
Later absence of lives
Our lives are for sale
Drained like water in a pail
Eating like a pig
But our clothes seem to be big
Our lives are for sale
And can fall over like a well
Today we are just weak

Mirror On The Wall
I look on the mirror
And I see a shiny face
Smiling at me.
Dropping down the pillar
My eyes are rushing down in a race
Like a river flowing in the sea
How are you vanilla?
Fine I guess
You are saying what I'm saying so we both agree
I turn my face to look like a drug dealer
But he seems to be upset at this case
So I tell him it was just a joke and he as well tells me
I tell him that he is me
And he tells me I'm him
What a crazy friend I have
Who does what I do.

Ancient Poeple
Ancient people
Filling their stomachs like a hippo
They lived by the delta
A thatched hut was there shelter
Living near the brink
Where they couldn't sink
In order to fish and drink
If they had known how crocodiles stink
Away from the river they would slink
To protect themselves in a wink
They were attached by malaria
And its sign was diarrhea
The river kept mosquitoes
And there were no hospitals
No one was abused
Hence no one was accused
Important rulers were not recognized
