Get One_Be One

You have eyes that see

Mind that thinks

Visions that share

A history that tells

And experience that highlights

A culture that questions

A solution that ponders

And a voice that speaks to the heart

You have walked

Side by side with life

You have been in

The class of shock

And Understanding

You have been sent

To heal bones from

Their cracking and terrors

You have been sent

To brighten days from

Their terrors and fears

To life they did hold

You in their hands

But now you hold

Many in your hands

Wishing life and giving hope

Hope to live and hope in leaving

We are in transit always remember

To remind us_Let’s fly high always

Remember to encourage us

The dark places yes do call

You in their sweet voice

Your attention and love

They wish to suck from

It and be gratified

Simply ignore_but

Carefully listen to

The wind as she

Whispers your name

As she tells you all stories

Of this world

As she tells you where

She comes from

As she tells us her

Relationship with the air that we breathe

And all the blessings that surrounds her

Listen carefully you daughter of the wind

Listen carefully_the sound of the pages

Flipping open more and more

From right to left

Left to right

Right to left

And left to right

Your favourite scripture

Is calling you

Your calling scripture

Is calling you

Everyday in the

Morning from the

Abundance of love

And at night

In the gratification

Of understanding

Blessings of faithfulness

Faithfulness from the Creator

Faithfulness that we are never alone

We have never been alone

And will never be alone

Get one_Be one

In all.

“Get One_Be One”

Taso Kushandira mahara

Kupera KwaPerai Hupenyu

Vanhu havatye kufa

Asi vanotya kushaya

Zvavanenge vachida

Muhupenyu usatye

Kurarama, nokuti

Hupenyu hunotokutya

Rega uye azoti

Kufa hakuuraye

Nokuti akaona vamwe

Vapukunyuka rufu

Apo vakanga vafa

Nanhasi vapenyu

Hupenyu hweupenyu

Haupere, hwakafanana

Nemvura yose iripo

Pano pasi

Haungaiverenge

Donhwe nedonhwe

Uriwega ukaipedza

Saka vaye vanofunga

Kuti vanopedza

Hupenyu vanotamba

Nokuti ndivo

Vachapedzwa

Nehupenyu,

Kusvika vapera

Kuti dhu-pepepe-dhu

Dhu-pepepe-dhu!

“Kupera KwaPerai Hupenyu”

“Boundaries (The Land of Poetry)” Official Video

The “Boundaries (The Land of Poetry)” video is now officially finished and out. This is my second official video after the “Chidhori: Untold” video that was published in 2015. Boundaries explores different mindsets we have subscribed to as human beings, spells out new generation Zimbabwean poetry, energy of lively poetry skills and pronouncing VaChikepe: The Poet as one of most talented poet in this 21 Century. Life of a poet is not easy, as it sometimes seems to be a traditional form of classical art that lost its taste as art continued to grow, but this is not the case according to this poet. His fans sometimes calling him ‘The Poetic Maestro’ and ‘The Poetician’, he says Poetry is the Standard International Unit (SI Unit) of every art in this world; once someone masters the art of poetry creativity and innovation becomes the person’s easy steps to inventing, discovering and rediscovering a new sphere of composure sweeter than the best way we can define art. 

This type of art does not need sweet words to sugarcoat it. Action, results and time will enable the audience to pronounce those words we can fail to spell out on this paper. In context, VaChikepe would like to thank Bridgewater College (Virginia)-through Prof Stan Galloway for discovering him, Amina’s Gift (North Carolina)-through Dr Terrence Brayboy for supporting him over the years, 28 Shinning Stars as the family behind the poet, Methodist Church in Zimbabwe-through Rev Aaron Makiwa as the aura that surrounds this poetic mastermind and 100 Sailors as the poet’s vision to teaching poetry and connecting all pieces of poetry together so as to understand the poem of our lives. “Poetry sometimes is something that you do not understand, but enjoying the feeling of trying to understand it…Poetry is my life and I love my life” concludes VaChikepe: The Poet.

Enjoy the “Boundaries” video and remember to support this Poetic-Genius!

Yours in ink

I killed death

I am in love with a beast

No one knows it

Except me and the beast

I have disappeared

From my circles of vicinity

To the secrecy of my knowing

They think I was devoured

In the land of the beasts

The land that devours everything

Except the beasts that live in it

Indeed from an opened mouth

I escaped death with

My own two eyes open

How it happened, it’s difficult to explain

But what I concluded was

I would rather die smiling

Than die crying

I would rather die in smiles

Than die in tears

Without a thought

The beast turned its head

To concentrate on a nearby sudden sound

Like I was holding a big machete

I jumped on the beast-back

And I smoothly and softly killed death

As if I was quickly moving my machete

With all the power of my hands, arms and body

So as to quickly machete out the beast’s head

Out of death, life was given

And we all survived from all our fears

From that day onwards, I realized

The best way to kill death

Is to give life!

Without life death can die

And with life death do live

Death needs life to live

And with life death lives on!

We live with living death

That failed to die

Living death afraid of dead death

For her-she knows

Wherever there is life

I live on!

On and on and on…

Indeed I killed death!

I did not kill

The dead death

But I killed

The living death.

“I killed death”
