Postbellum

You came saw and conquered
My resistance was minor

Or was it the other way round

Who cares about details

After the fallback
After the cease fire
After the death toll
After the silence

I wash I iron the white flag
I wave my pristine intentions

I inhabit my dreams’ drafty abode
I feed on evanescent rations

From rags to riches and back
This tug-of-war left me speechless

Unsheltered bare and exposed
I feel for my lost tongue
While my mind sings mute battle songs
Composes anthem of countries
That will never be

December 2006

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!
