Scared Of One Side Of Their Being * Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

Physical beauty spoiled by a dirty mind and foul mouth
Beautiful with a dirty streak and ugly sight
Perhaps it’s a trajectory of the normalization by God’s order
The normalization of all spheres of life

Beautiful rose with a venomous nectar
With a sweet inviting smell
A beautiful wall behind which the sadist reign supreme
Behind which Gomorra reigns supreme

Physical beauty spoiled by a dirty heart and a murderous mind
A beautiful road with dangerous curves
Notorious for messing journeys and lives
A subway that attracts lovers of awesome landscapes
Whose lives unfortunately got messed up by the fall, loss of sight and life
Steep slopes that send lives downhill and let them fly to heaven

A beautiful anthill that harbours a black mamba
A well-dressed gentle man or lady with a very bad temperament
Some creatures scared of one side of their being, forever in tow
Wish they were a snake that can take out its skin, they wouldn’t border
