For The Sun Or Stars Poem by cliff kawerani

The sun surrenders crown to stars
The dying rays trigger birds; home to eye
Sooner, with hazy clouds skies go decked
Again a million effort sight demands
Fearfully pupils dilate-sight bargaining
As tails of a 24hour coin turn up
Earth grows to be one a heaven
But of the smiling wolves
Earning tickets to a discotheque
Where dancing is but to a fire's tune

In dewy airs, smell of darkness diffuse
Alarming hyenas to take but lone pleasure
While the sheep gets sleep spellbound
Until the next sun up, they treasure-
But lone-long nursed virginity
Scary owls' growl; gloating over tenure
While loudspeakers boom souls to steal
The married regrets the hasty
For still buds but the mighty


Grows the idea to skulk into prime of life
As still, beckon the tired speakers
Home now becomes the worst,
Having self made paradise the first
Liquor sours the cleft heart wealth to heal
Enlivening: prostitutes too, dress to kill
So willing to sell souls are the faint-hearted
The wingless sovereign takes the wing
As hyenas scramble over and over
Poison smeared honey
Of which confession be the only antidote
Yet the hardest to earn
So be not of stars but sun
That you ever face light and the right
