Mighty One,
we bring you kola:
let our perpetrators
be visited with darkness
at the zenith of their bliss.
Let their laughters
terminate at the seascape
like the whispers
from the hissing waves.
Let them drown in doom
that wish us saddness.
Mighty One,
here's the ambrosia:
we wish you obliged it.
Our trust, faith
has n ot wanned -
it shall never wane.
O Mighty One,
We feel threat
of extinction -
protect us, protect us,
let's not wither at
the sudden kick
by our enemies,
protect us...
Mighty One,
we pray that no inferno
engulf our pallet.
Still Living on my Feet is the follow up to Tichaona Chinyelu’s first book, In the Whirlwind, which was rooted in a sense of hard-hitting revolutionary black love. However, in this sophomore effort, Tichaona brings the revolutionary essence from deep
love and peace
Love Tinka
