Charlina Daitouah Smith Poems

In the privacy of my mind
I give vent to rage, lies,
envy, and vices of every kind.
...

We fight for equality, but
the fight is no longer the same
as when we first began. Now,
we fight not only for the right
...

When Beckham kicks the ball on a
soccer pitch in England, it
breaks through the opponent’s
...

I watched him
shuffle along the
dirt path, his
trailing cuffs gathering
...

5.

I present crisp dollar bills and
a human deity.

Settling in the circle of dust, hands

She passed away.
The herald of merciless pain. What wouldn’t I have
given to hear she came this way
or she is here to stay?

The white women* came out today,

The Best Poem Of Charlina Daitouah Smith

Duality

In the privacy of my mind
I give vent to rage, lies,
envy, and vices of every kind.

Taboos are enjoyed.
No one sees, no one knows.
I am safe inside, filled with empty joy.

My fantasies I fulfill
in the solitude of myself.
I am another, this is what I will.

Who knows that behind this beautiful face
murder sometimes lies in wait,
an insane desire to exterminate?

There is no way you can tell
just by looking at this gentle female
that she dreams of being wonderfully cruel.

Or, how could you ever discern
that yonder jolly gentleman
relishes thoughts of unleashing bloody mayhem?

Could you find a clear line of correlation,
between an innocent visage
and an insidious motive for abduction?

Even at your most lucid moment,
could you ever imagine
that I, I am capable of inflicting gruesome torment?
My mind is a wall
that shields me splendidly
and when you think you know me well, it turns out
you don’t know me at all.
