Poetry 2025 Longlist, Moore Ngwenya

Favours To The Unknown


When the world was in confusion and calamity

crippling all countries.

Wiping out every race and nationality 

leaving all in land of despair.

As waking up in the new day was a blessing in disguise.

Yet discouraged by the ever mounting figures of

demising relatives and friends.

But you brought favours to the unknown.

You held our hands with pride walking with us

from sickness to recovery.

Restructuring our reigning calamity into the

renowned Luke Commission.

Giving out aid in alms to aid the nation at

large.

Tirelessly without ceasing till the catastrophic

disease came to a negligible existence.

Bringing back smiles onto the solemn faces.

Favours To The Unknown

Retiring not when the contagious virus devoured the globe.

Springing like a tiger you rushed to

Provide favours to the unknown.

Honouring yourself by being one of the COVID centres.

Grabbing the nation’s live from the epidemic.

By providing unlimited care creased in unending

oxygen provision.

Producing the great oxygen plant.

Favours To The Unknown

Your infallible works will stand till eternity to tell the

unknown tales of the drone launch.

Driving up dreams into reality reeling through the sky

to reach the remote individuals.

The nation will forever be in awe of unending gratitude

For future generations.

As your structures will be a living museum of evidence

Marking continuing of unceasing favours to the unknown
