Isaac Maliya Poems

There is a light
In this darkness
Misfortune lurks
As in “Turks”
...

I took it
Bliss filled me
For its potency unquestionable
Damned never crossed over
...

I am me
Take me to the land
Walk without stumble
For I am me
...

Why?
The index finger
Am I not on track?
Planting seeds of posterity
...

No fear
I was told
No feeble-mindedness
To look and see
...

I am indebted to you
Tied to your apron strings
Like a toddler to its mother
I owe you
...

Mum
You said that
Said that innocence
That innocence is here
...

Words
Are colourless
Striking a cord
Of fear, hopelessness, deceit
...

Eyes as red as crimson
Lips spitting venom
Hearts filled with iniquity
Why do they smile?
...

Yokes
On our shoulders
"Right" men don't have shudders
Yet, these are the days
...
