When The Sun Smiled on Fun
written by: Ndaba Sibanda

I drifted into childhood memories
I visualised loaves of bread, lorries
of it too. Villagers embraced
it in their way. It paced
into their lives. A holiday.
Christmas Day. What a day.
The beauty of its traditions,
the village ignited into celebrations.
Supersonic radios roared into the night,
the partying pack was my chief delight.
New clothes for kids. Wasn’t that special?
New! Forget about ‘debt’ or ‘commercial’.
