THE CHEWA PEOPLE
The rich, deep tone of the skins of the Chewa people of Malawi reflects an image of a race that has seen the passage of time. They have adapted with resilience and strength to the challenges posed by the relentless sun.

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
Of the late King Mndala
Chimbalanga
to change lives
Conditions

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 locked as a puzzle
we were given a colonial

Biblically your are a creature made of dust

It feels permanent like the ink on my skin

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 bonds of blood
Making turning backs on each other forbidden
When you

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 melanin even on the hair on my face
I fear

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 labor of mother UNIMA
Yielded this bouncing baby of the warm
