Another...in a series of turning fifty poems.
My Life: In Contrast With Others. There is no need for comparison. Nor is there time. What I wanted before has been rendered to caricature. The Phantom that pulls and pulls at me I will never clearly see-- The only contrast will be that short, tenuous last breath that will surely be, the death of me.

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!
