It is a language
A language of priests and kings
The blood that keeps society in full balance
Poetry
It’s a song of an old woman walking lonely and tired with her hopes scarred in the hot Numib desert
Poetry
A craft mastered by ancient Afrikan scribes and artists
It’s a language with twisted meaning and interpretation
Others say poetry is music
Others say poetry is the very fabric and fibre that sustains the universe
Poetry
Great teachers have used it to sanitize the dirty and muddy buttocks of society
Healers have used it in their incantations, chants and rants
Calling for the helping arm of the gods from beyond
Poetry
A language inundated with drama
Intense expressions and moods of different colours
Poetry
The love of my heart
