Staying True Poem by Ndina Kamaro Muofhe

Burning bridges,
Humbled prides
Broken grounds bearing islands
And when the ego withers,
Humility take the reign

Serpent stories of sinners and saints
It is the word that beget a heathen
Lines drawn in between kept terrains asunder
No cleaner robe around every heart
And when the moon dance,
Pretense takes control

Another smile, a blanket of darkness
Within, what's brewed is beyond danger
Egos exerted sharper than daggers
Another soul, to shame, they casted

Truth is, everybody has a demon they need to kill
So, don't tell a man the truth
And then, distance yourself from him
