"Blood's thicker than water", they say.
But, it looks bad when it oozes.
They say, "Water is life."
But, you can drown in it.

Beauty and Beasts

Mishieck Mwale Jul 28

Beauty and Beasts

Ugliness and unfamiliarity
Are an artistic portrait of monstrosity.
In reality, monsters are so good to look at.
Because their survival depends on that.

To Whom It May Concern

To Whom It May Concern

The words I speak
Are for me.
Should the shoes fit,
You are me.
