You were the Master. I was your horse. You considered it your job to tame me. No matter what the cost. You stood with your saddle..tightly in hand. You tried to place it on my back ... but I ran. You knew you wanted to break me. Wanted me to follow in your tracks. But there was NO way you were ever going to get that sattle on my unbroken back. I know you have broken many.. I have seen their tattered lives. I have seen your smile like a trophy you won filled with pride. But you didn't break me.. Not that you didn't try. I was determined to stay strong ... and that is how I survived. Mother and Daughter.. A war we had.. Since the day I was born. But now the war is over .. I have grown.. the fighting is done.. We both lost I declare a tie... No one has won.
Mom

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!
