Yeah.
Just
a
long
road,
you
know?
From
the
capital
to
the
quiet
of
the
dust.
Joseph.
I
remember
the
lights
of
Lusaka
fading
in
the
rear
view
The
promise
of
a
new
life
felt
like
something
I
could
pursue
But
the
miles
grew
long
and
the
wind
started
blowing
cold
Now
I’
m
standing
in
Chipyola,
watching
stories
unfold
It’
s
a
different
kind
of
silence
here
under
the
Lundazi
sun
Where
the
days
move
like
molasses
and
the
work
is
never
done
I’
m
a
stranger
to
the
neighbors,
a
ghost
in
the
compound
street
Just
trying
to
find
a
rhythm
to
keep
steady
on
my
feet.
Oh,
it’
s
a
heavy
heart
that
carries
the
weight
of
the
miles
Searching
for
a
connection
through
the
cracks
and
the
trials
Left
my
roots
in
the
city,
now
I’
m
sowing
seeds
in
the
clay
Waiting
for
a
door
to
open,
waiting
for
a
brighter
day
Joseph
Julius
Nkuna,
keeping
the
fire
alive
inside
Even
when
the
world
feels
like
a
place
where
I’
ve
got
nowhere
to
hide.
I
look
for
a
helping
hand
but
the
palms
stay
closed
and
tight
Job
connections
are
a
whisper
that
vanish
in
the
night
I’
ve
got
no
inner
circle,
no
one
to
pull
me
to
the
light
Just
the
burden
of
the
hustle
and
the
lonely
end
of
sight
I
think
of
where
I
came
from,
the
life
I
left
behind
But
the
ghosts
of
my
ambition
are
the
only
friends
I
find
In
this
Chipyola
compound,
the
walls
are
closing
in
Counting
every
loss
and
wondering
how
to
finally
win.
Oh,
it’
s
a
heavy
heart
that
carries
the
weight
of
the
miles
Searching
for
a
connection
through
the
cracks
and
the
trials
Left
my
roots
in
the
city,
now
I’
m
sowing
seeds
in
the
clay
Waiting
for
a
door
to
open,
waiting
for
a
brighter
day
Joseph
Julius
Nkuna,
keeping
the
fire
alive
inside
Even
when
the
world
feels
like
a
place
where
I’
ve
got
nowhere
to
hide.
It’
s
not
for
me
alone
that
I’
m
walking
through
the
fire
I’
m
building
up
a
ladder,
reaching
ever
higher
For
the
ones
who
share
my
blood,
for
the
ones
who
share
my
name
I’
m
forging
through
the
shadows
just
to
break
this
cycle’
s
chain.
Yeah,
I’
m
doing
this
for
us.
Little
brother
Benard
Nkuna,
I
see
you
standing
strong.
Dorcus
Nkuna,
my
sister,
you’
re
the
heart
of
where
I
belong.
Memory
Nkuna,
keep
your
head
held
to
the
sky.
We’
re
Nkuna
strong,
we’
re
never
gonna
die.
Just
wait
on
it. (
Piano
fades
into
silence)
Yeah.
Lundazi,
we
still
here.
