Windows of Sin.A Poem by Ayanda MtetoLust first seduce your eyes, then your heart.In a world full of pretence, Holding honesty captive, Pretentiously shimmering vanity, Within the cradled heart bias to profit greed The origin of a vile serpent, The roots entangled in the Falsehood-tongue, Preaching self-worth presumptuously Tasting the apple on tree Munching the rotten fruit, Spitting seeds of carnage to the dust Where Adam grew flesh Turned rivers red that flow his vein That he cry them back to the arid ground, The stream that flow his blood-line Where he hang his sins, Carried from father to son; mother to daughter Soiled desires that tap on his eyes He opened and let the thief inside. © 2015 Ayanda Mteto |
