CHILD THERE IS NO TIME TO GIVE BIRTH TO YOU - MAWETHU NKOSANA


Greetings to all, today we bring you the spoken word... yes poetry good people and today we feature Mawethu Nkosana who hails from Soweto JHB. I had the pleasure of meeting and seeing Mawethu in action at various poetry sessions including but not limited to The Art Gallery in Kagiso West Rand.


This is one of the many poems i loved from him so do enjoy and link up with this amazing soul on facebook @ www.facebook.com/mawethunkosana

CHILD THERE IS NO TIME TO GIVE BIRTH TO YOU...

Again in Rage

 This is no place for the feint hearted
Helpless
Souls embodied
Human beings
dreamers of love
1 month olds, 3 month olds,1 year olds, 6 years olds,odds

79 years olds ; her son slaughtered her flesh
Ate the pulse of her heart;
Forgot in her womb his beginning spoke

This is no place for the love sick
Seekers of world peace
Healers and wordsmiths
This no space for breathing
For kissing; words and meditating in sound
No space for living; growth and reason
No empirical traits that she will rise again; teach again,be whole
again or breathe again
Or be again another gain
Stories told by her blood stains,wounds as fresh as fog
Memories of dogs fighting over her skull
Her womanhood filled with sand and glass

the is no sign she will sigh again
Allow us to love her again
Again and again

With no skull , I wonder will she see heaven when it calls ?

R.I.P.

Have an awesome week and once more
