Spotlighting Pan-African Poetry
Biography
R.I.P
Life is but a brief moment of uncertainties
A Turmoil in the form of flesh, an unreprimanded entity
It gives birth to a joyful heart that touches lives and changes destiny.
A candle full of love, that burns in storms and can’t be contained.
Whose Character cannot be tarnished by death nor explained
Death is but a thief in a moment of serenity
It knows neither colour nor age; it is a no respecter of ethnicity
An unchewable grief, that is distasteful to the mouth
It raises raging seas of emotions to friends, families and spouse
Neither peace nor anger will mend our broken hearts.
So instead we say:
R.I.P
You lived and loved
And now in God’s hands we intrust your life

Featured Poem:
Gravity be still
Life flashes, the devil dances
As she thrust her body to the wind, leaping from a 10 story building
In reach of her scorned heart splattered all over the concrete ground
Gravity be still.
He promised me everlasting Love, So I opened my thighs and he built his home in my womb,
planted his seed, breaking the seal that protected my vulnerability.
He promised me everlasting Love So I gave him the keys to the realm of my heart,
And like a thief, he took with no remorse, stole my pride and self-esteem
I even gave up church for Him.
He promised me everlasting love so, I dropped out of school,
I had a man whose pockets were as deep as the bank, Man this guy was cool
Mother cried and begged, so I packed my bags for in my mind I knew better than her
He promised me everlasting love
A baby on my back, hungry and weak and a diaper full of crap,
No job, no qualification
A Positive HIV status is what got me addicted to crack
How can Life be so cruel?
Standing on the roof top looking down, I saw a reflection of myself
I tried to reach out but the wind carried me,
My heart cried out for help,
in hope that he’d catch me as I fell.
My spirit broke from the flesh and it was free
Until Hell opened up and swallowed it in.
Gravity be still
