End Of Evil Dance * Poem by Niki Nicholas Nkuna

Walking tall like a giraffe
Seeing all people, second class up to fourth class
Under the shadow of the highest skyscraper
Whom I respect as my king
Under his command I can do anything I liked
By intention or by mistake with no repercussions

I enjoyed all the presence of nature
All that God let my people do
All that Satan directed my people to do
My king being a king of all seasons unshaken like the statue of liberty
Winter and summer with no allegiances to the shivers and sweats

How I messed up under the sun and in the middle of the night
To my surprise I was always allowed the passage of way
To dance on the craniums and let more misery reign

No wonder I never looked back and regret the plunder
No wonder I lost sight of direction to Malabar
No wonder I did not know the extent of pain
I kept on inflicting it to the point of maim and death
No wonder I did not know the extent of happiness
I kept on rejoicing to the point of total ignorance

All things evil and holy licenced by the king of Sheba
Proffering free reign of mortification to the unfortunate human spirit
Hearts and minds hollowed to empty shells
Blood and tears messing up the evil foundation
No wonder the smile and joy of the king sunk to bitterness
