SOME HOW, SOME DAY LIFE WILL BE RESTORED!

Beatrice Nkuna 1970 (Soshanguve)



The world thinks you are gone, but it was not what we were thinking
You are still around and roaring like a lion that has come to destroy
As we look for you in the symptoms, we just discovered
No more symptoms as your other name is third wave  
How long is your operation?
How many lives are you going to claim?
Ebola came before you, now it can live with us
We don’t have any ritual for you to go away,
The humanity was all conscious and accepts the new way of living
I never imagined that the beautiful smile, known to be contagious would be hidden inside a mask
Look at how our world has crumbled, orphans and widows, the entire parish families’
You entered without anyone’s permission, and we concluded that you don’t need any permit  
Life as become fearful since you visited the whole world
Your name is 3rd wave Covid. This will be the history of our time
Let all that is within us, not be fearful.
Sooner or later our life will be restored again!

She started her volunteer work by loving and caring for HIV/AIDS patients and the mentally handicapped, by providing them with food parcels, soup, bread and old clothes. She desired to adopt a child, but seeing the plight of so many abused, abandoned, orphaned and destitute children, she started an outreach program which she believed will give her the leverage of touching the lives of many more children. The need to sustain and continue to care for them grew and soon she needed someone to go into the outreach program with her because all the children she met were precious to her and she treated them with compassion and love with which precious stones are held, this then gave birth to the mission of the Look Forward Creativity Centre and orphanage which opened its doors in June 2007. who she is the founder . more…
