GALES

GALES

A Poem by Dryford Chimutu
"

This poem is about social injustices that are happening at a small rural towwnship called Nsundwe. Nsundwe is a township in Malawi’s capital district of Lilongwe.

"
Over the dry lands of Nsundwe gales rampage
They blow through the herd of charging B. bubalises
And butcher one to their Pyrrhic victories: 
The victories of shame that haunt 
the very nuance of Nsundwe the name.

Over the dusty plains of Nsundwe gales avenge
They bite up and rope the damzels on their grazing lands
And sweep the sires away into captivities: 
The captivities of deterrence and paltry pleas,
or hot damzels causes censure.

Over the red soils of Nsundwe gales ravage
They toss the ashen wigs off those hairless hearts
And litter them with distended desires:
The desires that see no piteous faces 
of the bucolic damzels of Nsundwe

Over the tranquil grounds of Nsundwe gales damage
They shake even the integrity of the wigged gals
And send pro bono crumbling down into mercenaries:
The mercenaries of shame that fetch millions
off of the mortifying toils of the rustic damzels of Nsundwe.
