Analysis of INV
I inherited a house a haunted house,
infested with demons as a witches playground,
it has a stale invitation of Rhodesia
My cape neighbor's house is ventilated ,
my troubles don't see I to I ,
a comparison in condemnation
what my nose wants to smell is not what my mouth wants to eat.
Ouch blind faith hurts us to see
that eye patches are meant for people who can see
What's more important the paper or the pen?
My crippled brother chocked from the smoke emissions of the pot ,
I ran through the door ,
been caught in a complication of thoughts
maybe I shall rot through lightning pots to escape these bitter thoughts , that change varies from perspective .
A site (sight) I see
mosquito using repellents to rid of ticks
unwanted in the environment
like the climate change that's damaging the world
Are we the pollen in the atmosphere that triggered their sinus
we ought to pollinate
can we put our trust in the wings of the North?

About this poem
It's about Zimbabwe, demons are the people in power, the Rhodesia reference is reflecting on the colonial times of Zimbabwe, how people were oppressed to how Zimbabwe is now , being led by a government that's oppressing it's people, a tyrant government is ruling , the stale reference is talking about how the government is reminding us as Zimbabweans of the hard times , this ruling government has a similar aroma to that of the colonial. My cape neighbors house is a direct reference to South Africa of how much free it is here , u can breath , meaning South Africans are not leaving in a hostile country rather a democratic country unlike Zimbabwe with a stale air , meaning a controlling government, in line 7 ,I'm talking about how Us as Zimbabweans want the little that South Have, we want all this they have but yet South Africans what much more, like What the American government is offering, showing the difference between the need of life and to survive .
