The Moment Idon't Know

Shadreck Chirwa 1997 (Mzuzu)



They spill no smile to my presence
Their stirns full of instincts
They battle to my no response
My voice got bad smell for their breathe
Am an intruder to their familiar faces
Their blood float never blend with mine
As friends they appear not knowing they are rivals
The moment I crown myself the name "An Outcast".

Feeling life worthless more than death itself
My world fully filled with fate
Feeling privileged in the lonely world
Clouds shelters my privacy
As life runs on the unruly mud
The moment I carry the load of an exception.

My life full of invisible abilities
All because of living in the world of no lives
Nobody's affection bonds with mine
But only one I guess
Their heads percepted with my life's destiny
Their minds full of mine life's perception's
This is the moment I don't know.
