We Are Not An Error But The Idioms Of Our Era
written by: Ndaba Sibanda
@loveoclockn
We are the idioms of our time, a huge cabinet
We belong together, to this earth, this planet
Why do we thrive in muddle and destruction?
Walk in the ravines of unease and corruption?
Like words whose meanings cannot be found
From the literal or dictionaries that are sound
Let us be the proverbs: our lives are short
Let no hate thrive or live or receive support
Lessons on climate change need to be inferred
From wise sayings, actions or so advised a nerd
Ndaba`s poems have been widely anthologised. Sibanda is the author of The Gushungo Way, Sleeping Rivers, Love O’clock, The Dead Must Be Sobbing, Football of Fools, Cutting-edge Cache: Unsympathetic Untruth, Of the Saliva and the Tongue, When Inspiration Sings In Silence and Poetry Pharmacy.
