Long Dead

I have drowned in the painful seas,
I do not hear the whistle blow,
As the ferries cross the Bosphorous,
And mighty ships carry their cargo,
And sea-gulls scream their throats,
As waves wash me up along the banks,
And I listen to seaweed weep,
As I have been long dead,
Just look into my eyes,
Distant and Stagnant,
As darkness has overtaken,
And the lights have been turned off,
In the black torrents of this sea,
Poisonous and salty,
Polluting all life,
And every possibility,
I wish the moon would rise,
High above,
Casting it's white beams,
As blackness would be overcome,
And a wild wind would overtake,
To rid all left from past impurities.

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!
