Fate Poem by Ndina Kamaro Muofhe

Another bird left the cage stinking
Breathless, it lay on frozen floors
Many deaths it died before
They were soul's crucifixions and heart's piercings
Now, it's the flesh's turn
To dust - a place called home

Another bird left the cage rotten
Its flesh became a buffet of ants and worms
To the beast's belly, it shall find peace, hopefully

Nobody can make it out of here alive
So, make this life a heaven promised
Before the candles blow and bow out
