DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT:BY TSHEPO MBHELE

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR DEATH ANNOUNCED?
A POOL PARTY WITH A BALL THAT WAS BOUNCED
OR TO GO TO THE BAR
ON YOUR BRAND NEW CAR

WHEN YOU FINALLY DECIDE TO DIE
I WONT EVEN PASS BY
IT DOESN’T REALLY BOTHER ME
BECAUSE WHEN YOU WERE ALIVE I...

The Graduation Announcement

By Elton Camp

To get a gift, it was an obvious try
The name we could barely identify

One to whom we couldn’t relate
Why would we go see graduate?

At the bottom there was a website
“Go here to see what is my delight”

So that site is where...

Sitting at the airport waiting to depart, an announcement came over the air
causing much despair.
I thought to myself don't panic don't get discouraged just be patient and wait!
God is still in the plan even when we don't understand,so I took out my pen and 
pad...

Despairing all the popular belief
We are working for your relief
Creating millions of jobs
To pacify all you slobs
Oh, and don't believe what you read...

All who seek to find grace, life and light, come enter through the door of Christ
Bring with you your burdens strong; he’ll forgive of sins and every vice

Let the eyes of your being, through your hearts, witness the truth and light
He died for us as...

It’s not about ego/ 
It’s about feeling regal/
Regardless if you're a lion or a seagull/ 
Something meaningful/ 
But most just don't get it/ 
Like how most rhymes are read but soon they will forget it/
 I’ve never met it but I’ve felt it/ 
Something so...

A canticle I think I'll be, 
A rimed thought, hoary and ancient, 
Stinking as the dust heaped up empyreal on the hills of 
The Judean sands;
And as dulled and dimmed as an archaic coin tarnish'd.
This is what I think I might be.
I'd as lief be...

Hip hop is not something that will help you get good girls or guys 
It does not buy time nor does it provide an instant tide for you to ride 
Hip hop is not the latest toy 
It is not meant to be used as...

Yard Birth Announcement (Prelude)


Eleven years, yet that news unveiling
Still resounds happiness that fills our heart
You may write down your wish, still accepting
And out in the box new hope will start

Embrace this day as another journey
Stepping across the mown grass in a yard
Scent of fulfillment, day...

Announcement

	"State the fact," he tells the board, "announce mid-
	morning without warning, too late then to
	retaliate. Say, 'Times change, so on your
	way, redundancy accompanies age.'"

	Walks easy through his fortress-grounds of trip-
	alarms and snarling hounds. Youthful bride is
	safely sealed from vengeful pawn and bitter
	foe, and waits, consoled...

Today, he is she
  Perhaps, you are me
  
   Petri dish babies

Have you seen sorrow engulfing
A crowd, like a dark cloak 
Covering, the lone lamp in the corner.
There are some whispers,
Cow's bells from a world apart.
Announces the end, it's over.

What are you but a spare cog
Why tears, won't you get a job?
I am sorry but I...

"Girls have cooties,"
announced Howard Banks,
in the 4th grade.

"I don't," I replied,
so he kissed me on the cheek.

If only all minds were changed so easily.

Soccer team, one lonely locker room
Door labeled "BOYS".
Where am I, where are we?

Dear Sexism
We have strong legs
and even stronger minds
Remember that
Y chromosome...

there he was
in his white coat
afraid of our reaction
as he dropped the C word

we watched it bounce off the floor
and hang there suspended
no one reaching to grab it
we all sat there with a blank stare

pretending to be deaf
frozen in disbelief
biting our tongue
holding our breath

limp arms...
