Precious Mlambo Poems
Do not look down on my countenance
Because I am African
I may be hard hit by circumstance
But I still believe ''I can''!
...
They called him "ikwerekwere'
Because He spoke a foreign language
And many local men were there
When he died in anguish
...
She was every girl's envy
Beautiful but pure
But now she has H.I.V
Deadly with no cure
...
Many men of might stormed into her house one night
And this simple widow gave the greatest fight
But armed with guns and fury they won
And took her daughter and took her son
...
I greeted my neighbour in the morning "Hi! "
Never did I know that that was the day she would die
See, I had greeted her many times before
And sometimes even knocked on her door
...
The Best Poem Of Precious Mlambo
Me, An African
Do not look down on my countenance
Because I am African
I may be hard hit by circumstance
But I still believe ''I can''!
I can rewrite the stories of man
And cause them to dream again
And tell my fellow Africans they can
Heal Africa from her pain
I am not made in the image of an ape
Nor am I related to one
And from my identity I will not escape
Because I was created through God's Son
My skin may be dark
But my future is not
I will leave a mark
And bless generations with what I've got
My true value is not the diamond mine
Nor the rich deposits of gold
My true value is this vision of mine
And through Christ's grace it will unfold
