Viomak Music

Die for a reason that will live, than live for a reason that will die. • Do not fault me for voicing my concerns. • You give not because you have more than enough but because someone doesn't have enough(Viomak). • There's nothing as bad as doing nothing about exploiters of humankind. • Sympathy is for one who has tried and failed, pity is for one who has failed to try. • Compassion is love in action. • Intelligence is doing something about the suffering of others. • Whatever you do,do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men(Colossians 3.23) •

::Being an Artist

I perform with broken ribs
caught up in a sugar stampede
Bruised by baton sticks
stompedby booted feet

I satnd on shaky feet
having walked into town
A crowded bus for the return journey
Buttocks of someone's wife against my groin

I satnd dizzy
A packet of maputi for lunch
The water is dirty
I have diarrhoea

I stink
Have learnt to bath with a liter of water
The smell of smoke
Cooking with a thorny bush fire

I stand here and talk about it
I will be accused of being and imperialist stooge
I need a bulletproof vest
They will graduate from baton sticks to guns.

After I am gone I won't rest
They will set up roadblocks
Harass the mourners
And ask' where is the police clearance?'
