World poetry day

Poetry,
Your face is a pillar of smoke.
Eyes blurred .
Nose bleeding.
A dog licking her paws.

Poetry,
Your heart is in your mouth.
You are screaming silence.
A hot stuff.

Poetry,
Your eyes is a bridge.
Under construction.
Your hands.
A love shown.
To a roasted man.
Wishing for dead stars.

Poetry,
Your voice.
At sunrise, a guilty lad.
At dawn, an innocent belle.

Poetry,
Who taught you.
How to challenge the status quo?
How to throw punches at gentiles and Jews?
Who gives you a pat on the back.
For jailing them with your eyes?
Which little bird told you.
She takes pills...
And he breaks bottles?

Poetry,
Don't let them abuse you.
For telling the truth.
Mothers offering babies for sacrifice.
Pretending to mourn.
With parties on their heads.

Poetry,
Who said you are malnourished?
Your thoughts mundane?
Relax at home with a drink.
Ain't you tired of speaking for them?
Creatures with burnt breasts.
And wounded big toes?
If they believe.
There's no justice in the jungle.
So be it.
After all, these people.
Escape insanity.
By the skin of their teeth.

Poetry,
You have convinced me.
That i was not conceived on bed.
Now i know.
Why my father's dinning table.
Lost one of its legs.
Now i know.
Why i love shaking tables.

Poetry,
Dear poetry.
You are my universe.
A blast from the past.
The black spot on my bum.
Of all my children.
You are the best of the bunch.

When i was a little girl.
I met a man from the north.
He introduced himself as failure.
Blamed himself and fate.
For watching his family.
Starve to death.
Terrible thing!

I now have stronger hip bones.
I know the difference between Editan and Afang.
How to swallow a hot potato.
Bleeding have become normal for me.
I cried when i lost my grandma.
I still do.
My heart breaks when i see friends turn enemies.
But through all.
I discovered a worse fate. !
Having no pen.
Having no voice.
