Niki Nicholas Nkuna Poems

The trap too far to cause a stir in the mind,
Man too oblivious and careless to sense the danger,
Enticement of alcohol and drugs silently consorting with man,
In the corners and dark alleys,
...

Everything is everything with everything dependant on everything,
Everything is in abundance; everything came by God's plan,
With no rules for anybody to own anything,
No need to be bereft of anything, no need to own anything,
...

Elephant marching to important occasion,
Ego of importance towering over all creatures of instinct,
Intentionally blind to the presence of the surrounding,
Destination in full view with intention of reaching it straight,
...

She's so beautiful as if everything shines through
As if everything goes well about her
Her beauty overwhelms all cold and hot conditions
She walks with reflexive beauty bling
...

Beautiful continent by nature
Beautiful people by nature
Africans ebony skinned by nature
Now darkened by the extremity of nature
...

Dreams took me to places I have been before
And places that are a mirage in dream and reality
And places that will come a time for me to set foot in
And those places that will remain many dreams to come
...

Difficult to lie down or sleep
Or hug somebody
I have all sorts of weapons sticking out of my body
Some hurting me
...

He waited for dusk to set in
And did all in the presence of none but him and the victim
The same thing happened again and again
He hid the weapon in the back of the room,
...

Nice smell of food invites the hungry
Don’t chase them away if you happen to own the pot
Enjoy the food with them without shame and pride,
...

We bade our dwellings farewell in the mornings,
Forsaking them without a second look, we plunge into our daily endeavours,
Knowing for sure that our day and night will come to an end
Knowing for sure that we will get tired and stop working for some time
...
