THE GOOD SHIP
By Michael Simanga
Cross and ocean
In the belly of Jesus
Restricted motion
In the belly of Jesus
No place to run
In the belly of Jesus
No African sun
In the belly of Jesus
We hear our breath
In the belly of Jesus
We smell our sweat
In the belly of Jesus
taste our tears
In the belly of Jesus
Wrestle with fear
In the belly of Jesus
Search for light
In the belly of Jesus
We have to fight
In the belly of Jesus
Hide your name
In the belly of Jesus
Cloak your pain
In the belly of Jesus
see your stripes
In the belly of Jesus
Cling to life
In the belly of Jesus
Blood on the floor
In the belly of Jesus
Spit on the shore
From the belly of Jesus
