Poem Title:
Poem
I implored myself with money and okay, thought that feasting at the time was no crime, and as the chyme soothingly rolled in my head's threads, then in pretense covered that craving with a palm, that craving very agile and corporeal. upon my lulling, the asking defied; i gave it money and honey, filled up with joy and future employ; i promised burgers served with kandara, njugu karanga and bits of cars yet the desire waxed insatiable! i gave a good girl to woo, it looked out the more. and i got another maid of the style princely; her bosom decorated with flatness and uniformity, reaching up to the moonlight in height, digging deep beneath the heels of fashion, she walked gracefully like a drunken monk, the music of buckles and golden rings begged much; and that's what i added to this creature of ghostly beauty. then this calling wants a third one! it wandered to the ages of history and excavated childhood dreams, dripping with rottenness and obsession, in the life of civilisation i was tormented, degrees but tormenting, good jobs but tormenting! sooner i resolved to quench the question of "enough?" and made myself a vocation to drench the injustice of childhood poverty with the justice of excellence. a redeemer of sorts, the light in the way of a night walker. many looking from my reverse see hope under my feet-stool. i am become the man of going, and going i do. behind is troop of people unseen, jerking forwards, themselves a foothold to obtain. soon they'll play this game my style, and it's a vast quiz. tell me, how vast is it? the sea of desire, all opportunities begging a piece? shall i be satiated getting a graduate degree? or a postgraduate? first-class or distinction? will adorable mistresses and pageants announce your destination, oh desire? i sought, and i'm seeking, behold nothing satiates. it's insatiable this life.
