Njeri Hunjeri Poet Personification

Stolen Words

Open space, flat land, horizon drowning
Words, words wearing boxing gloves
Some have mitts on, some in a straight jacket
some are rebellious teenagers, careless
Carefree words, freedom, roaming everywhere 
In this open space, waiting for a new prey
Some tweaked, some bend, some corrupted 
Some alluring, some repulsive 
Some saving, some taking 
In this open space
