CHIMBOSVINURA

Kuona zvasvika pazvava apa
Chiziva kuti zvino zvaipa.

Chimbomira, uture befu
Meso achiuyeva kwenguva refu

Mwezha wepese pawakapfuura napo,
Wotsinzinira maziso kuronda apo

Pasisanzwikwi gutukutu revawakambofamba navo
Ukazovasiya vachindundurutsana nemajana avo.

Ipapa ndipo paungangoti bhebhenuku
Miseve yendangariro ichibaya uku neuku.

AMERICA IDZIVA

Ndakaonawo apfichuka payairidzwa Kwasa Kwasa
Ndikati ndamuwana wangu apindwa neAfrica
Ndikatsegaira mhani,parutivi twasa twasa

Ko chakazivikanwa chii nababa nhiya,
Kanawo kurangarira kuti hove yose

yozomveya nekurova bhangu mudziva yapinda.

Kuchinomuti zvakawatotsawo sadza nedzemutetenerwa
Tichiriko kumaraini edu kwana Mazvihwa nana Chivi
Ndokuchinzi kuno hakusi kuAfrica kwamakaponerwa
Chero ukaswerotsvaga maari ose eAmerica mativi,
Ini kanhanha, toomesa miromo munyati wasvava...

REGAI TIFURWE NEMHEPO

Kupfupika kupfupika zvacho

Neniwo mateya zvawo,asi ndinotomhoka
Kana wabakidzwa musambo une huchi.

Zvinoremekedzwa matiri muno
Muchikirabhu chemaNigerians,
Matinombokanganwa nhamo tichikozvora pasi
Vachidandaurwa vana Awilo nana Brenda.

Regai tirikite pasi vana vevhu,
tichiridutira zvedu mabvakure;
Regai titwuonese ndondo twumasenzi twataunza
Ndimomuno matinotombonzwa nyama kupfakanyika
Isati yauya imwe vhiki
Yekunokozvorwa zvitsitsinho zveshungu
Dzinodawo chiremerera kwachisizivikanwe zita.
Ndokunge izvozvi vasati vauya neavo magwaro
Afumoufinyamisa zviso achiseka kwatinobva
Kwaanoti hakuchadyiwa rinopisa, kana rinotonhora chairo!

GORE RABUDA VENENZIYA

PaMototi taibvukuta pasi

Kwaiti Taru, chigero chevhu,
Aiti kana zvasvika haaikendenga
kuti ashandisa dumbu kana garo
chero aikuya pasi chete

Koti mukoma, uyo anga achongodzoka
kubva Joni uko anga andonhongana nesidhudya yake
haiwa, vairioenesa ndondo dairiro
vanhu vakaona ndondo nekukanda mari,
nesuwo taikura tikatowana imwe chenji
yekunovhaira nayo kuzvikoro uku.

Asi gore iroro raVenenziya
ndiro rashaika hure rekwaMurimi

anga akoromorana nemago ane mashavi,
isu tichiudza nezvigagairwa zvaifanira
kuti zvikure zviunze roora kumhuri
Vana Raviro vanga vachivhara makoni ehupenyu
Ndiye mhomhomho kwaMurimi kusina
Kana risina zita kobiri ranga raunzwa
Anga akura waMurimi mwanakadzi
Asi pakashaya mhemberero yakaitwa.

Tibaiwe pakati chaipo pasingasviki kana tsono.

Itayi vakomana nevasikana,

SVAKABVA NEPI?

Pane makore andakazvivhomhora
ndokufamba sendisimo, ndazvisendeka
pamadziro ezvisionekwe, zvekuti
chero pakumira pamberi pemira,
mutumbi wangu waivhundutswa nekuzviona.
Mazuva iwayo zvainzi neni
ndanga ndashanduka, ndichisade kana
kuudzwa kune uyo wandaimbova
uyo aichingunozivikanwa nevaya vasari
vanga vasina kundiona kwemakore...

Saka ndafamba ndiye rove rove
kuchera mwena ndiye nyu-u nyu-u

handaipawana pekutangira kuzvinyurura
kuita kunge repiri raMabasa benzi
raifunga kuti pamwe rakafa;
chero chaipo pandaiva ndazvisendeka
ndakatadza kupafembedza kuti ndipawane.

Ndokuzoti rimwe zuva

Kuchinoti vhu-u, imika!
Svaivapo sverunako MaDhuve svakandidaidzisa

hwehuchoni mandanga ndasendeka ndangariro

Ini hezvo, wati chii?
"Urimo mudenhe rinoda kumutswa iri!"
Kunoti bhebhenuku, inga, a-ah, zvandaingova pano!

Svakaita hasvo; svakagwa svimire.
Nhasi togarawo pano tichinzwa vanaDembo
Tozunguzika tichinyerekedzwa negitare raChimbetu
Tokwatamiswa nerisigumi bhesi raMacheso
uku hurongwa huchirukirwa konzatu yaTuku.
Svakaita hasvo; svakagwa svimire.

CHEROPO PAMUNOZEZA

Rukai zvinorukika, zvimwe kure moposhera;
Ndondai panenge pakafanira
Asi nguva zhinji rangararira

ndosaka muchivanzwa vapfana vemazuvano
vane minwe isiteti waya dzemagitare

dzoerekana dzarara mudota nemusana
asi padzinomuka dzinozunguzika nemanyawi
ekuziva kuti dzazivikanwawo...

Imika, ndiyani asingadiwo
Uyu MaDube kana MaSibanda wangu
kana kunzi hechino chikara changu
chikungurusamabwe changu chine mbabvu dzesimbi?
Kana aripo, ndiudzei ndimukoke kuno.
