You, You Man Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

You, You Man

To be even human is inhuman
because you watch the children cry
The mothers, your wife,
They, too, sadly sigh

Because you are an animal
but you cannot even care for man-imals

Those pets given to depending on you
You, who is an animal from the annals of creation

An animal more primitive than a dog
but in the fog of rationality you forget to be a sub species of the genus
Animal
except your behaviour is animalistic

You are a predator of the worst kind
because your species sees what other living things do not see

And yet you hide your shame at what you see
and for the sake of the truth and nothing else
you eliminate!

If she passes the test
and she gets contaminated by your testis
You deny your humanity
Always looking for an escape from the escapade

And yet in the silence that is death
you want to reincarnate
to recreate the same disaster that you created.
