AN APPLICATION TO VISIT GOD

AN APPLICATION TO VISIT GOD 
© Farouk Asvat 

These days
You can apply
To visit God
Himself

But no letters
will be accepted
And no telephone calls
will be answered

Because
These days
You can contact God
Only via the internet

Making sure
You send cash
In advance
Via your local sheikh

LET THE LAST DANCE LAST

LET THE LAST DANCE LAST
© Farouk Asvat

Let the last dance last
On saturday night
Let life pass by
On sunday afternoon
Let there be melancholy
On monday morning
Let there be dervishes
On tuesday evening
Let there be angels
On thursday night
Let there be god
On friday afternoon
But let there be love
On wens'day afternoon

BEYOND THE BEYOND

BEYOND THE BEYOND
© Farouk Asvat

We come to the river
We walk upon the water
We come to the highway
We tiptoe upon the line
We come to the desert
We sail upon the mirage
We come to the abyss
We glide upon the air

ZIMBABWE

ZIMBABWE
© Farouk Asvat

The Great Zimbabwe ceases
To be a ruin
In the magnanimity of its love
Forgiving its killers
Remembering its brave guerillas
At Heroes' Acre
Declaring itself in cock crows
Multicolours fluttering in the breeze
Reggae and ShonaNdebele music fusing
Into a new Freedom!
(That doesn't last very long)
