Poem Artwork

The wonders of life are delivered as a surprise package wrapped in misery.


The misery of life is received wrapped in golden paper


 


 


Courage to live


Trapped in responsibility


Tiger zoo cage


 


Quiet life’s mild comfort


Little joys for little days


Mainstream tin can


 


Cold anger visits


Icy grooves on my face


Winter gale fury


 


Dark rocks of pride


Storm wave milled become sand


Footprints of gentle love


 


Glimmering sand grains


Are blown away and settle far


Stars twinkle on us


 


In the endless ocean of our mind countless waves cross each other but never mix

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!
