What Matters

What matters
The means of the end?
The end is what matters.
Or is it pain?
Pain that tortures
Every cell and nerve
And every desire
And every thread of being.

Are we all mere victims,
Prey of malfeasance,
Sacrificed to insouciance?
Rebellion, fire me
To join your rank -
To defy indifference
Of life to stone.
Record here and now
My will yet to decide
My ability to guide -
If not my destiny in life
Then my choice in death.

April 13/1982

"...to defy indifference..." gets to the core of it. Well crafted verse. Much enjoyed.

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!
