Hyena for a neighbour
by Obinna Chilekezi
~
I ask only for this:
To look deep into my eyes
And see the fascinating feline
Awaiting a prey.
These eyes have seen weights
Of burdens, endless source tears
But everyone needs a beginning,
A fresh start, with some fun.
We all need a litre of love
To rock the world with fun
But it’s curious and sad
With hyena for a neighbour
To live in stolen happiness.
