Niki Nicholas Nkuna Poems

Everything provided for in the game
Equally true for the battle of the earth
All things bright and beautiful,
big and small, tall and short
...

I can't live free, one way or otherwise,
I'm tied permanently by my legs, hands, heart and mind,
The psychology of slavery,
I do everything willingly, happily in form of lost identity,
...

Beauty and ugliness everywhere
Beauty in the eyes and mind of the admirer
Ugliness in the eyes and mind of the hater
Transformational reconstruction everywhere,
...

The launch pad was high by the bravery of the matriarch
Certain about the arduous road she had taken
The only one that leads to the last mile
When the ululations would transcend the boundaries of Africa into the rest of the world
...

Beauty everywhere, near and far,
Some beauty I see with my eyes and through the brain,
Never know if I long for it or not,
Because it is yet to reveal itself with my want and patience,
...

The battle against the force of gravity is an exercise in futility,
A win is temporary or is a fluke,
Opinionated people have constantly hit against the brick wall,
Highly intelligent boffins have designed instruments of high precision,
...

No one could sing like Nina
She would walk on her songs
Fast and slowly, sometimes stopped abruptly while on high tempo
Only to walk slowly her voice picking up tempo in ascending order
...

I am in the middle of Namib Desert,
And I'm thirsty,
Besides a walk to a far distance,
I won't survive,
...

Slithering so smooth, soothing all edges for all people to walk on
Safely except for one who is marked upper most by the evil mind
Overwhelming green colour of the grass
With the almost invisible dull streak
...

I remembered the pangs of love
I remembered the pangs of lust, yes, that's right the pangs of lust
Hurting my heart through my eyes
...
