Lunga Mokoena Poet Dramatic Verse

Nyaope Drugs

I acknowledge knowledge as porridge 
For courage, within which privilege 
Is in storage kept hostage of carriage 
We scoop in mileage through marriage

We are rolling what's burning bright: 
Drugs through deep kiss set alight, 
Such romantic lips to drawing death 
Fix me high bed six feet under earth. 

I rest arrested by the powdered weed, 
Buried in me deep as a knife went to 
seed.
Dreams have had me worried sick 
Mind swollen with thoughts thick. 

So is one's character as a shoe to fit, 
When misplaced foot is in a deep pit? 
As one under wonder I ponder in 
order 
For path of my feet & castle of my 
seat.

Then never shall I wait for a miracle 
I'm nothing less to oneself than oracle!
