Revenge Poem by Thabani Khumalo

ON A PLEASANT DAY -
ONE DAY I WILL SEE YOUR FACE
AND I WILL REMIND YOU...
I WILL REMIND YOU HOW NEGLIGENT YOU WERE,
HOW MUCH OF A RUNNER YOU WERE
BECAUSE ABOVE ALL THE MENACE THAT SPREAD,
YOU HAD DUCKING AS YOUR RECOURSE - REMORSELESS.

I AM NOT READY NOW TO TELL A LIE WHEN I KNOW IT PRETTY GOOD,
THAT THE TRUTH IS JUST GOING TO KEEP HURTING LIKE A BOIL -
IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, YOU PUT ME THROUGH HELL.
I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT MY FACE REAL GOOD AND READ
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY WRINKLES NOW THAT I AM GETTING OLDER
AND KNOW THAT THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A DAY WHEN I AM
GOING TO LET SLIDE AND I CONDONE YOUR ERROR.

YOU ARE A DEVIL AND YOU DESERVE GRUDGES AND VENGEANCE.
I AM TMAN KIRY AND I WILL PAY BACK, IN THIS LIFE OR THE NEXT,
I WILL EXECUTE REVENGE.
