well-fed slave

well-fed slave

A Poem by kudakwashe J Ziunye
"

Simply because of food many of us are slaves.Better be hungry and remain free in mind,thought and action.Its either you ARE or you are NOT.Make your mind today.You are responsible for your happiness.

"
In a forest glittering with rainbow choices
Do you still wish to be a prisoner
With a plate full of food in your hands
Why do you still feel condemned?

Flamboyant existence is real but silly
The dove of peace is no longer with you
Comfort is pretending to offer you joy
Yet in your heart you feel nothingness

With a stomach full of delicious food
While you wear expensive jewellery
Do you ever dream of freedom
To sing song of freedom,to be yourself

Your stomach overloads- yes- but is it okay
To sell your ambitions for a plate of Sadza
Meditate upon the existence you could be
With no limit and endless opportunities

Think about this as you make a choice
What kind of life.you wish to live
To be well fed or to be free
Make your decision today.
