ODE TO THE HEART OF A RACIST


 

 

Alexander k Opicho

(Eldoret,Kenya;[email protected])

 

My humanity is devoid of piety

But time has come for it to beguiled

Into green harvesting of inchoate truth

That strong in the fibre and the fabrics

Is the heart of the racist

It has enough force to hate abysmally

Without giving chance to voice of reason,

The heart of the racist in whatever calibre

It is the strong most force that overwhelms time

Its current is to and fro in a gnomish prowl

Looking for the weakly prey of class

To predate on in ruthlessness of the imp.
