So you want to kill Time.A Poem by Ayanda MtetoLife is death, without breath.So you want to kill time, Before she send her brother death To do her evil deeds, You become deaf when she calls, you hate that song Dried the land to dust, Poured her hour in a glass counting grain of sands How many days you have, Slowly your skin wither like autumn’s leaves, Shrivels with wrinkles absorbing your skin to old Clasps your mind with fear she holds, Her story is told, About the masses she stole, infants that never made It home, snatched them like an Eagle preying in the sea Food she ‘’fish’’ casting her stings Playing her soulful enchant Had you dancing to her song spellbound forever Aging your days until her brother comes, Snatch you away, skin pale, Now I know why, you want to kill time; so you can live forever. © 2012 Ayanda Mteto |
