When Body and Beauty fade

By

Noel Ihebuzor

Prompted by a poem by Nomzi Kumalo

Peel away all
layer by layer
strip bare, bare
the peripherals
to the till of the core!

Can you hear the core still hum
do you feel the peal of the core
in the still of new time
– if YES, then it was worth it all!

Balancing and balancers

By Noel Ihebuzor


Unbalanced wailers in quest for balance wailed, wept sore, till "I don't care" said, things go change, your balance turn go soon come,

Revealing Unravellings

By Noel Ihebuzor 

Fanciful filas cover crowns filled with fetid filth, sleaze, rot and scum

and we watched

and we lauded

and we wowed

Runts grew big guzzled funds like pigs 

in hot rut

The arrogance of ignorance

Installed ignorance wafts rancid fart fragrance loud, 

excessive in self assurance clad in gaudy arrogance
