World of chaos
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
The lair of despair
The cave of hopelessness
The burrow of misery
The nest of sorrow
The dawn of suffering
The midday scorch of solitude
The dusk of distress
The dark of nightmares
The hour of reckoning
The minute of doom
The second of regrets
The time of dying
The wind whispers insults
The rain drops curses
The sun glares malevolence
The clouds spell disaster
Each heartbeat a rush to death
Each breathe a death rattle
Each thought a spasm of death
Each mouthful a death bullet
The bark of a dog, a demon’s call
The purr of a cat, a ghostly wail
The hoot of an owl, a siren of Hades
The parrots mime, the call of an imp
Chaos!
