Denis Barasa Service 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. Should You
Should you stumble upon me
Drowning in diarrhoea
Eyes dilating and nostrils nettling
Mouth manufacturing methanol
... - 3. 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
... - 4. Our Time To Fart
I hear you cry about a million bugs we spent on drugs in a day
And that the drugs could not in fact be more than a thousand bob by the way
I hear you cry about our opaqueness in the way we bank your taxes
And that we paid five hundred more wagers tonight in a club
... - 5. The Government "spokes"man
Churned from the choreographed college
He beams with brilliance
Baby-faced innocence bubbles,
To the press
...
