Sam Mtukudzi is No More
Sam Mtukudzi (1988-2010)
Sam Mtukudzi is no more. The young music star passed away in the early hours of this morning on his way home in Norton from Harare.
He and his sound engineer Owen Chimhare both died on the spot when their car veered off the road along Bulawayo Road, in the Kuwadzana Extension area.
Breath and Smile
When we die we turn to dust,
Neither soul nor breath will last.
These smiles we see and those i saw
They will be gone together with this soul,
Beneath the dust they will halt…..
So, smile before your breath is out.
Two bodies on the floor
There are two bodies on the floor.
They are surrounded by water and broken glass.
How did they die? Read more
Death
You see me around please run,
Cos i cut throats i kill for fun.
I take out life with much deft
I am an expert in life theft.
I leave beauty bodies in rigid stiff,
I am related to moaning and grief
I am an omega I’m always the last,
I decay the flesh and tun it to dust.
Don’t shed a tear
If I die this year
Dont Shed a tear
It was my turn
like seasons change
They’s a reason for my demise
Never to rise again
Feel the rain on my skin
Pain heals Read more
Widow
my brother’s widow
She learnt again to love
Before in his grave
His body had learnt corruption.
Still she swore he was he was her best love
And on his grave wept herself stiff
On her second wedding’s eve.
