"WAKING UP"
(Poem by Vincent P. Magombe, London, June 1995)


"To Hell!" - I cursed...
      I was chained -
                   To the Strange Mystery of a tropical dawn!


Dark Clouds encircled me...
          Promising -
                   The birth of A Wrecking Storm!


I looked, in vain...
         For the Sun -
                   To light my morning Way!


All I got...
        Was the mystery -
                   Of the Dark promises of a waking Day!
