HANDICAPPED ARE WE ALL


In the events of life appears
The lives of people
This angle of sight
Leaves the wonderer in wander
A complete distinction
Of one to the other

We have the A’s, the B’s
The C’s, the D’s
Blah…blah…blah!
There it dawns on me;
which of these categories
an I?
I get obstructed

Seen from afar these appears blur
At a little shift it comes
To none, none and none
Still living in illusionary proportions

Down in one way resonates
Our own side of “downness”
We are caught with few words
In wounded bodies to speak
Many do not speak at all

Seeing through the smiles
Friendly words and gestures
Love and intimacy
Of a resentful heart gives hope

Let us be ready to change
Try new things
Adapt to new people
Create a lasting bond
And help to grow in
Human-dignity
Respect
Care
And self-reliance





This poetical writing is dedicated to the students of Chileshe Chipela Home. They are indeed great friends of mine.


SE REN JE


Beautiful time at an
Atmosphere of 22 ˚C
Glaring at a shallowly
Fast
Running “water-fall” from
The parlour
Making an environ
Well-relaxing for the me
Mind-blowing then Equanimeous
Albeit that
“Canyansha” supposing not
Swinging in sweet
Amazement
Taken away by the
Wind of festivities
“Pembela panono”
To an average of 20 ˚C
“Na ine ndi muntu”
Amidst unpredictable
Rains
Here and there
The environ became
A dwelling place
For the me
“Ee” an affectionate
Loving place ku
Fibili, fitatu, fine, etc.
BΓͺnaSerenje
Mulibasuma
The me will come
Another day
Nalimutemwana
Nkakufuluka




The words quoted above are thus "Bemba" expressions. These expressions simply means; Canyansha- this is too much for me; Pembela panono- wait a bit; Na ine ndi muntu- I too am human; Ee- yes; Fibili, fitatu, fine- 2, 3, 4; BΓͺna Serenje- the people of Serenje; Muli basuma- you are good people; Nalimutemwa na- I love you and; Nkakufuluka- I miss you.

SERENJE is a district located in the Central Province of Zambia.
