My hero wears a cloak dark as charcoal.

Ndife amodzi - All lives matter

streaming rivers, blood red defiled hearts machete armed men so called warm heart of Africa Warm with blood massacre and killing sprees ndife amodzi (we are one) the empyrean weeps all night a divergence of melanin birthed on the same land Malawi, piles of cadavers hex our lands brown like toast we plume ourselves a ticket - to inhume our brothers clansman, the trickling stains that ring to the heavens brew thunderstorms and hails and we die in bloodshed mothers burying mutilated kids that drowned in terror and fear preyed and butchered in a land trademarked as "homeland" for printed paper? a sit in parliament? requital awaits in the corner for you, "melanin gods"
