Niki Nicholas Nkuna Poems

We all have the same gold, however,
I claim that mine is too precious to be compared,
I proclaim it to the high hills and highways that whoever sees my gold,
Must not dare to touch it, I treasure it more than anyone who has it,
...

The eclipse of the sun came suddenly,
Like power failure at night,
The only sign was the roar of a motorbike,
Whose sound was cut off,
...

I got accustomed to the long day,
Acclimatized to its winters and summers,
I wish I owned the day and its contents,
The selfish land owners owned its contents,
...

The heart palpitating like the chest of a frog,
The whole body, excited and shaking,
Concentration is one dimensional,
Thinking about nothing else but the prey,
...

So many ignoramuses dancing in the rain,
Rejoicing forever in the mistaken believe,
Manna from heaven is forever,
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow static,
...

I entered the board room, looked at the walls
And saw a lot of 'Is' decorating the walls,
Through the eye of my mind,
Un-captivating, almost an uncared for, rose garden,
...

Driving down the road enthusiastically,
I resolved to overtake a slow moving truck,
Against the voice of the child of reason and the law,
Believing that a quick and small offence will remain small in mistake,
...

Loving your flesh and soul is the limit of my contract to you,
Your destination is out of my contract,
My contract to you, is to see you becoming mature enough,
To drive your own vehicle,
...

Ants liveth their own life,
Conditioned by their faith,
And hold on to dear pot of means,
Choices are within a cage,
...

Chains clanging, big steel, rusty gates and doors,
Slanging shut, locked,
Silence….
I resolve to live!
...
