I Have No HeartA Poem by Benedict MdluliMoving in the dark silently, four steps like a knight. I can hear the sound of voices screaming at night. The World is a beast; it feeds on its best meal. Raping children and killing women as if it’s nothing. I’m rolling in the deep; my heart is enclosed in a pit, My body feels and can’t take the heat, we have all been turned into cheats. I see the guilty die crying out “We are not guilty”, While the innocent die crying out for pity. How Sarcastic, life is like a plastic thrown into fire. Nobody really cares they take your life sip it away With a glass of whisky, to soothe their souls from Their sins, but they are never cleansed. I watch, I see, I do nothing I blame myself surely I have no heart. Yes it has been hurt, consoled and Hurt again, I don’t forget the pain. I try to love again But I still have nothing left to gain well it’s against the grain beyond the
capacity of the brain. I may not understand but I’m protected by divine power from above. Stab me but never expect blood. And I’m not going to die but the opposite will happen You are going to cry and run to the shrine. © 2014 Benedict Mdluli |
