POEM BY: ALICK MUSHEKWA®
I write this piece with tears in my eyes😭😭😭😭😭
*MY CONDOLENCES TO MOTHER SOLWEZI*
I write this poem to serve as a cloth which will wipe your tears.
50 lives from now the glaciers will melt
the rate at which ice leaves the planet is caused by us.
we did this.
it was one thing to unknowingly bring such positive change to the world
with our new gadgets and gear,
A young women traveling round about
Some called her lost, some a free spirit
She never danced to the beat of another’s drum
Many trials and failures, successes and triumphs
Facing it all with weightless defiance
