Poem Of The Day: As Long I Live By Mazisi Kunene

When I still can remember
When I still have eyes to see
When I still have hands to hold

Poem Of The Day: I Think It Rains By Wole Soyinka

I think it rains
That tongues may loosen from the parch
Uncleave roof-tops of the mouth, hang
Heavy with knowledge.

Her

what is phenomenal yet so rough to touch?
why do my heart flutter when I hear of such?
if she is rare but glitters...why don't people follow her light?

Life!

LIFE!

Life! nothing but a walking shadow
partial and wicked with irregularities like the meadow
pains like a needle in wounds
what is pains other than our lives?
what is wound rather than the tears we shed
we may live like this for long
