I may look blue in the face <br />Look green, red, white or black close and low down up, <br />The far side hidden in you that you don’t know, <br />That you may like or dislike <br />You may attempt to wash down the dirt <br />The ugly side will remain, <br />It will shout, cry and laugh madly at all times and weathers <br /> <br />The zombie will be a perennial nuisance in your face <br />Chasing it away will never end because the colour is one <br />The soul is one and the blood is a string <br />The zombie will keep creeping on you <br />Not because it sees the likeness <br />Not because it smells like the naked you <br />Not because it sounds like you in speech, song and cry <br /> <br />The fly will remind you of its presence <br />Notwithstanding your dislike of it <br />But just to heighted the filial relation <br />That has got nothing to do with the nuisance of presence <br />But the blood that shoots out the ugliness, the beauty and the likeness <br />Never mind the sound that cuts through the ears, the brain and drips out <br />In the cry of pain and ecstasy <br /> <br />NNkuna 24 August 2013<br /><br />Niki Nicholas Nkuna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-you-see-in-me-is-in-you/
