      Revenge Of The Poets I - Warren Mposi

      Foreword

      A hollow breeze blows across a cast off cemetery, emaciated trees line the sidewalks leading the way to rows of graves unfolding far beyond the skyline. Moon-kissed hills along the meadow is all that can be seen. A church sits alone boarded by horrid contrasts of fading bushes and lifeless grass, dark clouds gather above the church with the sound of thunder howling down from the heavens. A shattered window lets in the only light. Unkempt curtains sway, shifting the volume of darkness within the room. A blood stippled light bulb shimmers as it sways from a unfastened wire in the ceiling, as the volume of darkness weakens in the room an eyesore of overturned furniture covered in blood with dainty shredded old family photographs oozing red are easily spotted in the room. It was on this day, the poets claimed their revenge.

      Children Of The Soil

      Stand I say!

      That puddle of self pity in which you wallow

      Is not the result of what you lack

      'Less you pay attention to the words you hear and not swallow

      The energy you ingest will reflect your inner being

      But you have to opt to whether you see this image in toilet water

      Or in mirrors that show your best features

      Walk I say!

      For those feet grip your path and keep to it

      Let your knees bend for your wants and needs

      Till your legs give in to the Rhode beneath

      Where you'll find minerals and mines you'll keep

      Run I say!

      For the distance you need travel is lengthy

      Take a breath
