Limerick: Once a Woman-Cleanser in Malawi

     for Seodi White

Once (a) Widow-Cleanser* in Malawi
Insisted (on) being paid double fee
The dead man made certain
Left gift (on) this side (of) curtain
Now Cleanser on (the) dole with H.I.V.

•	The “Widow-Cleanser” is a Malawian professional
“intermediate husband” of...

College of Medicine, Malawi
In the deep veins of her corridors
Flow thick blood of academic Excellency
Dwelling in the hearts of her blocks
Is the dream to serve the nation

Patiently we had to wait 
for the lovely and beautiful expectant UNIMA.
To give birth to her, the giant of the land.

The fourth...

My Malawi - Independence Day Poem
We were not a nation, but just a continent 
Africa with kingdoms 
then, we violently got segmented and detached by people who never understood us 
we were sliced as if we were bread, 
then, one precious piece appeared, 
a sweet-potato shaped 
only to find itself...

Differently Different
A paper and a pen 
I need a few to tell stories of my pain 
Not of what has passed 
But of that which is to come 
If this isn’t a curse tell me what it is 
Pink skin yet of my father’s race 
No...

Heritage
They take me through grasslands
Of the sunny flat lands of home
Dotted by baobabs 
Young ones running up and down
Elders , to and from farm
Changing tunes low and high
As they sing them 
In turns 
To suit their situation
Yao songs

 Sometimes they bring to life memories
That strengthen...

Solution To Poverty
Why Poverty
Turned to be 
Malawian Poetry 
while we have 
the lands and 
Young People?
It is impossible 
And 
Unbelievable 
In this time. 
Let us stand 
Up 
Say together "Stand up!" 
Very up 
and 
destroy
our biggest Enemy 
which is called 
Poverty. 
Let us focus 
On the Ideologies...
