THE VOICE OF A SHADOW: LIFE, REALITY AND MENTAL INSPIRATION POETRY anthology.

Book Cover - THE VOICE OF A SHADOW poetry anthology.
Dung Beetle's
DUNG BEETLE'S
In order to fly,
A dung beetle does it's magic
On a piece of a cow or elephant dung,
And when it does
It flies far over to another kraal where peasants
Have rustled their cattle behind merchants
Of hatred and dreaded little scented
Beings of our own brethren...
A dung beetle traces
Its essence to the trashes and ashes
Of haste and date when days
Of its sacred intentions depleted...
A dung beetle follows its sense of smell
To dwell over stools abundant.
For fools forgotten
Their cleverly desire to empower truant
Friends and friends of their human,
For bulls and herds headed
To the eastern worst as west
They had already excited their land,
And found it hard to have existed
Between ages of this dung beetle...
Pityike pityika o pityikela gauhi when instance
Becomes the moment to roll with decent
Blushes and blouses of their thickest
Smiles and skirts of their weakest
Males denying this dung beetle a deep sense
Of politicking narrowly beneath the public sphere,
Fear? Never. Clear? Ever. A mere
Piece of the little beings we are my dear...

TERRAINS AND ECHOES OF A CHILD FOR THE FUTURE: a poetic hope for the youth
TERRAINS AND
ECHOES OF A CHILD FOR THE FUTURE: a poetic hope for the youth
A child’s
heart,
Pure and
true with its dedications,
With a love
without doubts, fears and hesitations.
A child’s
eyes,
So clear
with untainted visions.
No colors,
genders, religion or any divisions.
Should a
child
Be jaded with
worldly preparations
With our
selfish desires and rage filled motivations?
Should a
child
Be jailed
for deviance and delinquent sessions
When crime
caresses their intimate hungry bellies and angry faces?
Let nature
define its real senses of culture
Before eyes
of human could deceive their own.
Let shine
be the day for the sun to brighten our path ahead before noon.
Let time
tell its own
Story of
our struggles and huddles for centuries and memories ahead of the full moon,
To allow
the soul to remain in-touch with Mother Nature.
Blend compassion
with the nation’s traditions and culture.
Let both
pride and humility mold character to mature.
Muzzle not
their joy with life’s suffocating pressure
Without measure.
What will
the future behold for them as treasures
From the
past when societies rebuke their sense of the world order?
Our dreams
are granted
Joy and
pride with songs chanted
Behind echoes
of native drums in hands for freedom of the innocent child in stranded
Days of the
dark nights. As though nights would render us vulnerable
Beings at
ease. Away from just being victims of our forefathers’ struggle
To humble
our hearts from shackles of this earth unbuckled…
As memories
of their struggles
Serve as a step
forward and not a shackle.
Train them
well so as not to be barren hens that cackle.
Let them
dream and hope despite the walls they tackle.
Be wise and
guide them through, soothingly, not whip drivers that rankle.
Let their
hands spread further to reach out to their potential beyond a jungle…
The youth
are the roots from seeds and
Leaves of
trees of this abundant mother earth,
To sustain
our nations on pillars of their off springs from birth
As they
crawl and walk,
As they
learn how to talk
And speak
in tongues of our ancestral soul from toes
And knees
they kneel,
To feel and
make sense of this world
Under their
foot when winter winds withered.
Dusty days
surrounding their soils before rains to a seeker,
The great
rainmakers of our ancient times when sacred belief had thicker
Walls beneath
hearts of dozen nations in deserts, jungles and rivers…
The youth—
a fragile seed that the past has planted.
The present
shall nourish to fruitfulness warranted.
Future is
the hope where love and wisdom are founded.
And passed
on to generations of youth as enlightened
Leaders;
our dreams are granted.
They gathered
for survival from the wild land.
At night
they gathered
Around the
fireplace in winter to listen
To our
great grand fathers and mothers
Narrating stories
from the past, present
And lessons
to learn for days ahead of their wanders.
This poem
shall continue to speak to nations until words begin to age across their
blunders.
Poem written
by Lilian D. Kunamisa [Philipines] and
Onalethuso P.B.M Ntema [Botswana].

About the Author
Born Onalethuso Buyile Petruss Matthews Ntema on February 27, 1985 in Maun, Botswana (Southern Africa) as the 6th from a family of seven. He is a descendant of the Wayeyi clan from the lineage of uShikati Ntema Shaldiuara kinship (once lived along the Santandadibe River, in Khoo and later founded Matsaudi village), son of Ndaruka Ntema (Yeyi) and Mapote Motlakatala (Subiya/Ikuhane). The spoken word dub-Poet, Roots Reggae Musician, Writer and Author hails from the deep jungles of Matsaudi village, 25 km East of the North West District, Botswana. The outspoken and versatile Ntema grew up in the deep African jungles (Matsaudi, Mazange, Qxweeqhiri, Qxoqxao, Tjutjubega, Xhaamote, Xoldi, Tjaratjamba, Santandadibe, Khoo, Gweedao, and settled in Chobe at Kachikau village). Over the years, the Poet has connected to nature, reasoning, meditation and enticed by the natural scent of life and its adventure from length to strength. He has handwritten numerous unpublished poetry eBooks. The rhetoric, psychological, spiritual and expressive art has illustrated reality issues from a personal self thought and self identity approach to an analytic science of emotions and the mind, the self (self thought and awareness, self regard and pureness, self worth and realness, self reflection and target) in the quest to building a humble society of human and peoples among many other beings.
