Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

With Witchcraft, Yes

Failure is inevitable
War amongst us is incurable
Losing the battle to live is unavoidable
Doing nothing, seeing no achievement, no progression
Is one but the table of witchcraft.

I write for Africa
For all other many countries that still uphold witchcraft
Those so many countries still having hidden dark rituals
For those few but dangerous individuals who undertake this particles.

For those who use this method to avenge and revenge
For those this solution is the means to eradicate an enemy
          It’s the pathway to destroy a woman who steals someone’s husband
          It’s the medicine used to silence the cry of truth
                 - the prey to entertain the predator of jealousy.

It’s a rotten game we venture into
             - for that self satisfying reason
With witchcraft, yes
Failure is inevitable.

Andrea Dietrich February 28, 2015 at 6:14 PM wow, this is a powerful poem on something that is taken lightly in the US. But I DO know that in other parts of the world, they take it seriously and I think they ought to! The devil is at work and can be giving them their power. Good writing. Njeri Hunjeri March 1, 2015 at 7:47 PM Yes witchcraft is serious in other parts of the world and its also practiced a lot. Thank you Andrea for your reply. God bless
