Mlungisi Mbatha Poet I do not know?

They Never Understood Him

He thought he could change the world, 
by his unprecedented effulgent uniqueness 
But he didn't know the world sow him sinister
 for his effusive praises. 
He thought he could heal the souls of the broken,
Who thought they were beyond repair, the dead 
inside, the zombified people who walk amongst
the living. 
He thought he could be a pioneer of a new age person, 
Who are free of depression, anxiety and all the hell 
the world pressed on people. 
But that can never happen because the world 
sow him sinister for his effusive praises..
