The Best Poem Of MOGAMBI PETER ANGWENYI

I Came Out Here Raw

I felt the pain
Pain of losing my dream and vision
Schooling became a dream of scrutiny
I thought, I would secure a job
And earn some joys of tab
Get a house, good linen and food
I said
Darkness filled the town again
The town trickster enjoyed by burglars and thugs robbing with violence
As I felt sleepy

My searching eyes could see nothing
But a bunch
Of perils that in beggars floated
As I saw some pot bellied executives smartly dressed
Wrinkling their noses
At the foul stench of the backyards
Between the dual types of humans
I made comparisons
One group was poor like factory rejects
And the other rich like third world countries
I came out here raw
To be wasted like trash in a river flow

The kind of foodstuffs
We ate, stale, smelly and stenchy
At a distance our colleagues rumbling and a heavy parcel
Just an unwrapped bundle
My eyes crew at dirty fruits at various Stages of decay
The cakes and, 'mandazi' were rocky
The chocolate looked like discarded Vaseline jelly
And the bread fully of moulds
We just ate in a brassy mood of Gluttony's
I came out here raw and confirm the flip less life pages

Sapiens were now passing engrossed in their daily plight
And none of them gave this lanky youth a thought
Those fellows just stared at me
And turned their heads in portrait
I was in rags
I could see darkness fading to welcome the gargantuan sunlight
I sat at the ditch swinging
My legs, this way and that
Hoping one day life will gain fame
For me and my repercussions tame
