We owe them
(for our children)

More then just
Life
We owe them
Happiness
We owe them
Our own happiness
For our pain is
Their heritage
We owe them
Courage
We owe them
Our own courage
For our failure is
Their curse
We owe them
Laughter
We owe them
Our own laughter
For our desperation
Is their burden
It breaks their backs
It weights them down
It makes them drown in
The silent undercurrents of
Our own unshed tears

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!
