POEM AT TWENTY PAST TWELVE
He took five steps...
It's such a dark and dreaded place
This damp chamber that sets misery free...
Phantasmical plumes of thick darkness
Choking the oxygen from the air...
A BRAVE HEART IN THE GRAVEYARD
Spots no height to fright...
I lay upon this grassy mound
To talk...
Shrill, the silent cry of an unborn baby.
She squawks with a squeal cry...
Is it worth the risk?
You can't lose what you don't have...
Africans, my people;
I have heard your call,wailing and weeping...
Melancholy prevails yet again
Watch me crumble and count to ten...
Now lying here all beat to pulp and red
I do suppose it’s time to join those rows...
It was almost as if I were dead.
My bones felt so heavy...
Where there is death
there is death...
