Hometown

Sitting on my bed

Gazing out at the view

Laptop in lap

I wonder

Being of mixed race

The truth of my origins

The blood coursing through my veins

Goffle they would say

But iv always believed a man's skin colour doesn't define who he is

Kwabulawayo

A place where he is being killed

Home of the Ndebele

My hometown

Built on the ruins of a Royal town

uMzilikazi ,Leander Starr Jameson ,Lobengula ,Cecil john rhodes

Men of courage

Black and white

Fought struggles

Years before my birth

Mater Dei Hospital

My journeys beginning

My grandfathers end.

Joy and pain

My hearts memories

From Primary

Whitestone

Green fields

Where i spent my childhood

Life's little joys

Clay-yaki

In the rain

Barefoot.

Speargrass

How it stung

Running through the grass

Taller than i was

Forts

Built with shoelaces

Marbles

Fights in the sand

Afternoons spent picking mullberyys

The girls dormitory

Offbounds.

Matrons

Got me the cain

Thursday Nights

Prefects Priveleges

Sports

Cross country

The houses of Tuli, Shangani, Shashe

lifelong friends made

A place frozen in memory

Home of the best years of my life

Tears streaming down

Every Sunday evening

The way back

A boarders sentiment

Lasting 5min till reunited with friends

Tuck shared

Eskimo Hut

The Green Mamba Or Pink Panther

The food hall

Quiet

Till dessert came

Mr Haworth

Everyday

"The queen would be disgusted if she saw u eating"

The tide of his time

Wandering around my childhood

I bumped unintentionally into

Maturity

Starless nights

First kisses

A little bit older i was
