Dark Shadows Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

He who stands on the threshold of the darkest past
The dread of fear frightens his innards with fright
The path of the evil is infested with dark shadows; pitch darkness all around
Clouded mindset blowing out delirious socio-economic chaos
The very people he killed; the sanctuary of whom today he seeks
Poured he drivel on others yesterday, the master to appease

Yes, it is a fiction motivated by a fear of fear
Where are they from these dark shadows that have shaken the seat of the might?
Adopted they a child, Dollar Bond by name for biological prosperity to replace
For found they not the cure for Austerity
Even the clouds cannot shed tears; posterity is crying out loud
I wish them success in their efforts those who know the truth.
