Looking at me
That way
Your eyes
Rapid fireworks
Of hate?
What thoughts are drifting
Like death
In your imprisoned mind?
Now that you’ve arrested me
What charges are you scheming?
Your laws
Embracing
My entire existence
For it’s mistakenly
An offence
To be Black and Human
Mvula Ya Nangolo (1943 - 2019) Namibia
