if only
Simbarashe1 Oct 2016
If up was down
And left was right
Then death was life

If heaven was on earth
Sadness would be hapiness
Laughing as i cry
The world would be a paradise

If all the wars on earth were disregarded
Peace avails all over
Humanity united in accord
Life more simpler..

If everything was normal
In accordance with the creation purpose
All toils disbanded
Then  happy would have been me

TRAVEL

Take me to the sunny cities of Africa
Especially to the sunny beaches of Madagascar
Or a moment at the Zimbabwean Victoria falls
Just to fill my insatiable need for cool air
A taste of fresh breeze tingling my skin
As I enjoy God’s immaculate nature creations

Take me to the Biblical soils of Israel
Make me visit the rice growing farmers of of Thailand
And show me the fabulous Great Wall of China
Then relax me in the floating hotels of Dubai
Then you know I like travelling much

There is a lot I need to see in this world
From the great historical monuments of United States
To the so much fabled twin tower ,
And maybe a sea-ride with the US marines
Staying a day in the samba cities of Brazil
Listening to soft reggae tunes from Jamaica

Sometimes I wish I could  see the Stonehenge
And have a cup of tea with the Queen
Does the Berlin corridor still exist?
That one I will check on my own …
As I travel around and around
With a plane made in  Japan

Tomorrow
Simbarashe1 May 2017
Once,  tomorrow met yesterday,
And the two discussed,
Of the individual failures,
And errors of humanity
Tomorrow was told of all the sorrows,
Grievances, tortures and sufferings,
That occured in the struggles of freedom,
Of Political arenas and religious catastrophes;
The world wars,  black deaths and holocausts;
As the visions of all these events floated in his mind;
Tomorrow realized how bad mankind lived yesterday
His heart was stabbed,  tears flooded his yet to be born face

Tomorrow then met today;
The story of Today was not very different,
Only a transformation has occurred, but no solution
Seemingly more devastating wars were hanging in the atmosphere
Cyber attacks, terrorism and human trafficking haunted the Today vocabulary,
Closely alienated to a host of diseases without cures;
All official meetings being based on global warming worries
Morals and customs has long fled from all youngsters;
Conspiracy theories pilling on each other and religious segregation rising like noone's business!

Tomorrow knew from his deepest instincts;
He was the last hope for mankind; the last line of faith;
All these sufferings has to wait with today,  
What is only needed is a choice;
A good choice from all humanity;
A choice to be good from all inhabitants of the earth;
Being good to everyone and everything is all mankind is left with,
Inorder to help tomorrow deliver a better life

Simbarashe1 Nov 2016

MINUTES AFTER DEATH CALL
Simbarashe1 Nov 2016
As brurrly vision becomes more transparent
The hard humming disappearing from my head
The uneasy pain becoming more and more apparent
Senses returning to their normal carriculums
Bit by bit my memory recovering to unveil
The simple truths of the tragedy i was in,  
I realized i had just cheated death

Everything happened in tachyon speeds,
One minute i was alive and happy as a lark
The next minute i was recovering from the boarders of death
One minute i had friends,  enjoying the trip to a popular resort
The next minute they changed route to heaven or hell
As death had just bumbed unto us,  .
Leaving me on the boarders of this world and another

I dont know whether it was because i lived,  or the memory of my friends
My face insrantly flooded with tears,  
My heart aching and my head twirling,  
Wishing it was one of those scarry meaningless dreams
But my sanity assured me it was more real than it seemed
I couldn't hold,  this was too much
Although i had just cheated death...
I felt weak,  and fell down
First on my knees,  then cascaded to my whole body,  ...darkness fell over me

my life
Simbarashe1 Mar 2017
It is more than you and me can imagine
  
It is even difficult for any human to comprehend
  
Sometimes I just stare
  
Sometimes I wonder in tears
  
Sometimes I would want simply to shake off all my fears
  
But of all my attempts it seems there is nothing emerging
  
I have no evidence whether I am going or coming
  
Whether the doors of the mercies are opening or closing
  
I wonder if anyone is there listening to my petitions
  
Got a feeling that I am in my own region
  
Where no friend or family can come without hesitation
  
Even enemies seem to feel sorry for me
  
The sorrowful looks on everyone as they address me
  
Double their low grievous shacking voices as they talk about me
  
Speak books closed and open about my wellbeing
  
It is a miracle to them to see a grave moving
  
My name is already history
  
  
  
Sometimes I feel so deserted
  
Sometimes I come to understand that it is more difficult to be happy
  
Sometimes I feel that it is impossible to find someone who won’t hurt you
  
Sometimes I feel that it is better to stay with the one who hurts you especially if the hurt is worthwhile
  
For sometimes you cannot figure out how much hurt the next person will cause to you
  
It might be utter ruin or desolation or even extinction
  
Loads and loads of questions pile my mind to the brim
  
But chances of getting answers or even responses to them are so slim
  
My head whirls, twirls, reels and dance to an anonymous tune
  
Complex to me but funny to the onlookers like a cartoon
  
I am not dull but It seems I am not wise enough
  
Who else has ever lived such a life?
  
This is a kind of question that makes me laugh
  
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
  
Of course I expect no one to answer this one without a hustle
  
If it happens to be there I hope it is not light from an oncoming locomotive
poet's view of his life

— The End —
