Tshiamo Jood Poem
...............pluck,she loves me
Pluck,She loves me not
Pluck,She loves me
A single petal on the daisy is left untouched."fluck!!"
Admant that a third time should be a charm
He curbs the rules a bit
.....Pluck,she loves me a lots!
His stoney face cracks up with a smile
And eyes starts emitting rays of joy
A frown decorating his countenance a few moments ago
Dissipates and disappear
He refuses to hearken to the voice of fate
The Voice of fate echoed by her words
The words "I'm sorry ,we just wouldn't work "
And tunes his brain to think only how they are meant to be
How there is no other outcome save for that possibility.
He would chase that wind for the rest of his life.
Never catching it

Tshiamo Jood Poem
Have you ever watched a loved one die
Have you ever wished a loved one rather really died
To witness the one you knew in his might slowly become an enervated zombie
It is heart wrenching.
A miniature Atlas I esteemed his world high
Held it up to where it touched lips with the sky
Godlike in my eyes
He was devine,majestic,cool
Celestial,I looked up to him
His capabilities ran infinite
It was the saddest to find out one day that the one I thought could do no wrong,erred.
It is a must that we all eventually come to a revelation that all our idols are mere men of flesh
But to have them fall and shatter to pieces of rock
It is traumatising to a boy
God couldn't you have spared me the same fate
Stumbling in through the doors late in the nights
Eyes red
Reeking of alcohol
Rambling on
All pathetic
Tragic
I swear the sight of you in a coffin could have scarred me less
Where is the person I knew
You are here but not really

Tshiamo Jood Poem
I can imagine anybody dying,
I can attach and sew like a cloth
Any face to a lifeless corpse
Except that of my mama
I try to picture her gone
My brain slips into darkness
And thought ceases
Until my ears hear her sweet voice again
Its true, death is our common fate
A destiny we all share
It is not hunger to terrorize only the poor
But a spear swift to pierce even palace doors
But my mama who has always been there
To just one day dissapear into a crack in the earth....
Lord take me
It can never be
It would never be
Mama will live forever
