SUCH A TIME

LWAZI MGULWA

Rhymed
This is a time we seek God's intervention
A time of lamentation
A time of disturbed system of education
And a time of serious prevention

This is a time of life preservation
A time of unexpected humiliation  
A time of disturbed socialization
And a time of desperation

This is a time of service centralization
A time of serious corruption
A time of hunger and starvation
And a time of resource exploitation

This is a time of living in confusion
A time of unknown conclusion
A time of permanent vacation
And a time we refer it back to Creation

This is a time we understand God's jurisdiction
A time we accept His free salvation
A time we turn back to Him without notification
And a time of self realization

LWAZI MGULWA

 · 1975 · Whittlesea

My name is Lwazi Praiseworth Mgulwa from Kamastone Village; Whittlesea. I am from a family passionate about writing and exploring different phenomena. As a village boy I grew up being taught to live by guiding principles which made me to be who I am now. I was made to understand the situation of my home and the entire family lines, respect, caring, loving, showing mercy and living in hope even in hopeless situations. The beautiful mountains of my beautiful land have brought something for me to write about. I have met good people along the way and have made friends out of them. Writing has become part in my life, a gift from Creator. Even when I would see myself in the wilderness I know that I will never be alone. Jah bless my family who motivated me to move even further than this step. I therefore show some honour and maximum respect unto them equally. more…
