Viomak Music

Die for a reason that will live, than live for a reason that will die. • Do not fault me for voicing my concerns. • You give not because you have more than enough but because someone doesn't have enough(Viomak). • There's nothing as bad as doing nothing about exploiters of humankind. • Sympathy is for one who has tried and failed, pity is for one who has failed to try. • Compassion is love in action. • Intelligence is doing something about the suffering of others. • Whatever you do,do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men(Colossians 3.23) •

::The Prophet

A Poem by Shepherd Mandhlazi

I met him in the supermarket
White robes
Blue crucifix
he was cursing;
Nothing to buy....
He turned to me,
Brother
You are thinking of running to South Africa
He said
Your wife is about to leave you,
Says you are too poor
Your rent is due
You do not have the money
Your mealie-meal is finished
The black market...
Fuck the black market
I said
Your kid has been kicked out of school
He said
You walked into town today.
That is my life
I said
How do you know?
You must be a good prophet.
That is my life too brother
He said
And that of nine in ten Zimbos
No prophesy at all.
