Poem By Nokwazi Gugushe by Nokwazi(f): 6:17am On Feb 20, 2007 |
In memory of Tochi Amara Iwuchukwu To the gallows I never knew a young boy called Amara Sent to the edge of the world not by his mother Carrying not a gift for his host, but his own poison A rope for him they wove fit for the winter season. I never got to meet a boy called Tochi He was way too brave well beyond his age. He took the way that they told him to by air Another man’s fortune to be his own despair Did he say goodbye, did he cling to his father? Did he tell his mother he will see her in a world another As the sun in the East did rise, his last meal they did prepare As they led him to the rope, his hands and feet to the cold, bare I never knew a boy whose father was called Iwuchukwu Yet for him I cry and the tears do not cease to flow For the men who sent him, I will create a strong kind of voodoo Their song and dance I will stop, as Oluchi, did never grow |
