Sometimes Poetry Is Sounder Than Our Planet and Peace

By Ndaba Sibanda

Sometimes Poetry Is Sounder Than Our Planet and Peace

At times it's musical.
No wonder it goes lyrical.

At times it’s dead silent, if not direct and defiant—
fuller than a kneading, assuaging void that’s unpregnant.

When the muse is a loud murmur,
it can't accept without demur.

Poetry can be a painful protest, an echoing pot
full of all, and perhaps not for all,
A sort
of raw and rough whisper without a wall.

It probes, names and shames potholes
that hurt our helpless souls and soles.

It's a line in topical verse
for a fairer universe.
