A 22-YEAR-OLD nurse from Bulawayo has penned a book dedicated to individuals with disabilities, orphans and street urchins.

The book that was successfully launched at the National Art Gallery two weeks ago, according to the author Lincoln Moyo of Pumula South, is a cry and prayer to both humanity and God to rectify the pleas of the above-mentioned.

It is dubbed Marginalised Souls and can be accessed from the National Art Gallery in Bulawayo or from the author.

“This book is dedicated to the marginalised people at large with careful attention to people with disabilities, orphans, street urchins and lost souls. It’s a cry and a prayer to both man and the Creator to rectify their pleas for all they endure that is never their will.

“They should not be discriminated against and alienated because they are humans like everyone. It also gives a view of how the marginalised feel, how they cope and how they wish life could be,” said Moyo.

“There are many ways of making the less-privileged feel uncomfortable, less valued, unwanted and unappreciated or marginalised. Some neglect, criticise and discriminate while some leave them hating being alive. To them, life is not a sweet song, but how we treat them should bring relief from feeling less fortunate and make them feel loved.

“Being in that condition is never their will hence God knows their problems are bigger than the hills.”
Other than being an author, Moyo is a poet who has staged several competitions.

“Besides being an author, I’m a poet, nurse, pharmacologist, first aider and occupation health safety officer. I’m also an entrepreneur who dabbles with several things and also own a registered company that focuses on hair and beauty,” he said. – @SeehYvonne
