With A Mask On Your Face Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Illegal lust!
Lost in the world;
Lust!
To be chased like a prey;
Aimed at and,
Ready to be killed.

Of the red army,
Of the red carpet,
Of the red rose,
Of the red river,
Of the red line;
Lust!
With the sins of mankind.

Lust!
Playing a double life in this town;
With a mask on your face.
Lust!
You have a wife and children;
And, a secret lover and children,
But, you have no answers to your problems.
