THIS STORY!





Some stories are better left untold
This is not one of those stories
This story shall be told
This story is being told
Pay attention to this story
This story is a true story
This story is one of love
It shall not end well
This story is not funny
Nevertheless, you cannot help but laugh
No one knows this story
But everyone will know this story
This story does not make sense
This story is intense
This story is a mystery

You shall not be satisfied with this story
This story will lure you and leave you in the dark
This story shall whet your appetite and starve you
This story shall be narrated by a dumb man
The deaf shall hear this story
The blind shall read this story
This story will shake the pillars of history
This story is a profound story
You shall not understand this story
This story is of a strange setting
The Bermuda triangle; Amazon rainforest; the Milky Way
This story has no title
But call it ‘This Story’
Quit waiting for this story
This story just got told!!


*Inspired by Mutabaruka's DIS POEM!
