Poem Artwork


His table is laid but the elephant is afraid

And what is he so afraid of? He is afraid of change
Apparently inherently I find kind of strange
Though once I was no stranger to the danger of this fear

But I learned through change the only constant now and here
That how to be is growing knowing all will be all right
Sure as night comes after day then day comes after night

The elephant is afraid now how his bed is made

When some things are unchanging some becoming as they must
Is when we learn the difference between iron and rust

All I can say is… Profound. For the elephant represents the old, conservative thinking that must change if we are to move forward. And forward we will move, regardless of what the unthinking as elephant thinks.

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!
