Denied Wings Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

Racially divided and different
The painting has to be symmetrical along all racial lines
As well as the polishing and the pampering
Some colours known to be the least desired
Are treated with dull hands to keep them dull

The colour blind as they are called, are amenable to tender care
They shine with love and respect and thus outshine the colourful
That’s how the time immemorial racial competition started
When the colourful believed their Caucasian stature
Depicts superiority in all respects
Over the dull coloured but resolute beings

Racial prejudice is to be kept Virgo intacta
By caring less or none at all for the less recognisable colour
The dull forsaken by the unattractiveness but precious uranium
By zeal and resolute the colourful are never to be outstripped in the race
The race in the field of ingenuity
The race in the field of physical and intellectual recalcitrance
The race in the field of spiritual attainment to Emmanuel’s fiefdom

Time immemorial the phenomenon of racial integratedness
Had one original point of growth
Despite the growth of thorns of different sizes, physical and mental might
This is said to be the blessings of nature unfortunately used for bad and goodwill
Evil intentions aligned with the fortunate and by the imbalance of nature

Thus the shining part will be recognised and exulted
The obvious taken over and tested beyond the oblivious
Crazy minds, mighty advantage bestow delusions of grandeur
Pure human phenomenon mocking the ambrosia alfresco
