Bongani Zungu Poet Narrative

I Lost It Searching For You

Calamity fell upon me like a storm
Anxiety took over my situation
Reality stroke me as with a bat
Perversity is alarming in our days
Virginity is every little girl’s treasure
Immorality cost me my only treasure
My virginity was my treasure too

Law makers open your eyes and see
Lawlessness is robbing us our future
Lockup the rapists and loose the key
Long ago I would've seen justice
Injustice failed me yet again
I lost my virginity searching for you

I think daddy you should have stayed
And be dazzled by my singing talent
Imagine me dazzling the audience
To see daddies in the audience cheering on their kids 
Loving their dancing moves so dearly 
Your absence left me damaged daddy 

As I lie hopelessly I cried
And I prayed fearlessly in tears
Seeking a way out of my rape trauma
And to stay focus until I locate you
I got laid in your former house
That was a double blow on my journey 

I swore “I’ll cease the search”
But the love I had for you kept kicking my chest
Just like a little baby in her mother’s belly
We are three in my mother’s belly 
And I was the only one abounded 
Now that we met I’m delighted	

My scars are like an uphill track
Leading to the pick of my happiness
Like the golden days of bioscope 
I cover my past with a white curtain
Anticipating a beautiful story to flash through
The heavy load on my back if off
Now it’s time I live my life
