Denis Barasa Doubt Poems
- 1. Forgive Me
For this scar on my forehead
This dent in my dental spread
This crack on my skull
These charred but chained ankles
... - 2. Rivers Of Rage
I have seen rivers of rage
Seen brown faces brimming with breathlessness
Their heart beats pulsing with weariness
And yet more brown faces too
... - 3. Vultures
They swing and swoop over the plains
Claw their ravenous clout on the cream plantains
Clutch and clip the crispy catch
They dip in and dig out
... - 4. The Government "spokes"man
Churned from the choreographed college
He beams with brilliance
Baby-faced innocence bubbles,
To the press
... - 5. Relax
In times of crises
Solitude is solemn
Safety is supreme
Sanctity a weapon
... - 6. Serenity
In times of crises
Solitude is solemn
Safety is supreme
Sanctity a weapon
...
