What Rough Beast | Poem for August 25, 2017

George Waruie
Killers

They kill
And murders
As a liver on a table
And on a day of the feast
And killer
And a murderer
And cures and murders
And cures
And cures
As a chameleon on a tree
And a frog on the bank of the river
As a war of the hills
And the hens
And the war of the kids
And war of the war

 

George Warui is a Kenyan poet.
