Burn Me Poem by Fikile Mahlalela

Burn Me



Nail me to a cross
Pluck out my feathers
Set me on fire and watch me burn.
Pludge a dagger deep into my heart and listen it to it as it beats for the last time.
Nail me to a cross
Crucify me for all your sins
Babtise me in fire and watch my skin burn away
Then take my bones and throw them in the sea, tell my ancestors I was a coward for I took the easy way out
