Poem Artwork


I had read all the books in the library or
As many of them as I could
Looking for suggestions asking questions before
Wondering one day I understood
Not that I had to know but had to grow to be
Then as I did when I was a kid

As I understood I was to wonder some more
To live my life curiously
To be and through my curiosity be free
To ask the question the answer for
Furiously curiously wondering me
When I was a kid then so I did

I understood my task not to answer but to ask
Long ago at the Orange Public Library

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
