Toyi-toyi

they call us animals.

so we shake Earth like an angry herd


when we chant and walk and dance


to the rhythm of our own anger.

  3. believe it or not, those four simple lines took me two weeks to get right, & even now I feel like it is incomplete. a wise man once told me that the nearer you get to real prayer, the harder the words are to come. and sometimes, you can never find the right words. what i witnessed & felt during my stay in S. Africa overwhelmed me. It was a powerful experience. I am happy that you both enjoy it. thank you.
