Without A Mind Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

Without A Mind

I see strange things in this world
Things about which i have no words
Like the human spirit has finally failed

There is a rush for misguided superiority
Hypersonics and unbridled lethality
Shrouding our earth with mushrooms of uncertainty

Me thinks some people are aliens
Their urge to go back home endless
Leaving aboriginal sapiens homeless

Taking off on spaceships to go back home
Earth written off as a bygone
To be fossilised with billions of human bones

Otherwise how do we explain the lack of global leadership
The belligerent brinkmanship
Launch upon launch of spaceships

Money wasted on killing machines instead of healing
Mother earth reduced to comorbidities of killings
Rifts 'tween east and west festering without humane feelings

I see these things in this world
Things about which i have no real words
Like the human spirit has finally been unfurled

Run aground
Wondering round and round
Without a mind.
