When We Were 18

Do you remember your high school
graduation night? I do not
believe our paths have crossed since then.

I barely knew you or younger
sister but was excited to
buy you a gift. It was the day

We took the picture of we four
generations, women who
have each in our own way now lived

Through false prosecution or at
the very least acccusation
unfounded or some perjury.

I do not know for sure what it
is you do or how involved you
are, but I do read energy

Even if I have not seen the
other one in years. Energy
does not lie. It tells only truth.

It conducts full integrity
and upholds honor at all costs,
even one coming to themselves.

When you walked then across the stage
I too applauded you. I can't
even recall what gift we gave.

If I could meet you now again
I would offer simple request
to remember now who you are,

To trust in higher law, honor
any oath you might have taken
if it is fully true of you

And to cast all else aside, to
trust that family will be well,
remember what you do stand for.

Fall not for what has now fallen,
was conceived to deceive. Believe
in loyalty placed properly.

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!
