Poison

This poison tasted like wine enough to kill my conscious This fields of medicine I drank myself out of this situation of in-laws my mother zonked herself to be part of My poison was them, nothing ever killed me like they did This field of medicine not only caused me to die a deleterious death This field of medicine killed my womb to birth my own children This poison! I employed sectors of poisonous substances for reasons other than toxicity I employed sectors to destroy my own consciousness I injected a deadly potion dose to kill myself I injected a deadly potion to kill and destroy this temple I live in everyday I wanted to feel numbness I headed straight to the edge with a slogged mind of this poison I intoxicated myself to sleep through this pain I was feeling To my surprise I laid awake in mind I laid awake in mind with no sets of my body moving That was never a dream, was it? I dosed off my conscious with this poison I drank Poet Masego Nkuna
