The
great Greek Philosopher Plato said that kings become ready at 35. I
agree. I have started a journey towards greater leadership. In fact,
this journey began in 1998 when I began to have a heavy burden for Zambia. In the coming months and years, I will be making fundamental life
changes. The way most of you know me is about to change dramatically.
My faith in God will always be clear. But my approach to life will take
on a new dimension. My love for country, for political and economic development of a people
I love so much now consumes my soul. I intend, with the help of God
above, to spend the rest of my life fighting for the causes of
democracy, the poor, and for the destiny of my nation. I hope that those of you who have known and benefitted from me in other
capacities will appreciate this new challenge. Join me with your good
wishes, prayers and other support in making this world a better place
for all. Charles David Mwewa Toronto, 2009
Song
of an Alien is a collection of some of the poems I have written in the
period of twelve years. It covers a variety of themes ranging from
romance to pain, from ecstasy to soul matters, and from political to
social issues, in all their complexities.
The style employed in my work
is what I call the Charsian Poetry, which I have acquired over a
passage of close to ten years. It is a mixture of rhyme and blank in
free verse. Charsian Poetry is the exposition of reality. Surrealism
has its own place, but a good poem is an input to what transpires in
the day to day lives of human beings. It is a contribution to reality.
The world is never the same once a good poem has been added.
