Poem

Albert Nyathi

Side by side

UNION OF RAPISTS

Pressure dominates the most
Mischievous of their treasures
The baby girl screams!
The fly snaps sharp!
The scream haunts the nation!
Their conscience also lapses
And the great stress kicks them
Right in the face!

Albert Nyathi

(Zimbabwe, 1962)

Whether Albert Nyathi is dressed in a flowing scarlet robe, his rabbit skin hat and leopard skin wrap, or his feathers, what imbues his poetry is his enthusiasm and sincerity which, despite his success, continue to be invested with an almost artless belief in himself and his work.
