The road to ZIMFEST 2009

ZIMFEST 2009

The road to Zimfest always comes with its share of bumps...

It's hard to believe what started as a long and winding road, that seemed almost never ending to tell the truth, is now over the hill. Or at least that's what we'd like to believe.

Join us on the journey...

LET GO, LET GO

Author: Onai Zvandinoona, Zimbabwe

Poem LET GO, LET GO.

Thoughts scattered here and there,
My mind searches for answers a thousand times over.

Rocking back and forth,
My emotions collapse like a tidal wave.

Silently floating away,
My aspirations diffuse into the sorrow of this world.

Trembling from within, the tension rises to it's apogee, pulling me in different directions at the same time.
The fear creeps up from nowhere, suffocating my feeble soul.

Seeking to be still
Seeking to quiet my mind
Seeking to be content
Seeking to be free.

Aspiring to be at peace

SILENT VOICES

Author: Tranos Vongai Makombe, Zimbabwe

Poem SILENT VOICES

Silent voices seldom heard
Hang upon unspoken words
Walking down the streets of fear
Crying out yet no one hears
Begging for help without a sound
Searching for faith that’s never found
Rarely making their own choices
Broken are these silent voices

Silent voices seldom heard
Stripped of freedom, caged like birds
Are stricken dumbfound day by day.
They’re running out of things to say.
Recalling a comfortable past
Heading towards ruin fast
Compressed down to echoed noises
Broken are these silent voices
