Gerald Kithinji Poet Free verse

Shade

Let’s rest here
Under this shade
Of ignorance
It is so cool
And so empty
There is only you
And me 
And our host

Come! Let’s quick
To the shade
Lest, exposed
We become wise
And waste ourselves
On things philosophic
Psychologic, pathologic

Here, under the shade
There is no literature 
No law, no art
No science of deceit
No poetry, music or life:
Just ignorance and ourselves

Just ignorance and ourselves
Just ignorance
Ignorance.
