Poem 1; the art of deception

Deception is an art I’ve come to learn.

Like webs that garden spiders carefully weave

It takes a little effort, and turn in

An unsuspecting fly that might believe

The yarn you spin must always be secure.

The words rehearsed if using alibis

It helps to fix them first. And do ensure

Misleading truths are knotted in lies.

The body language needs to be relaxed

Uncrossed the legs, reveal an open palm.

Maintaining unblinking eye-to-eye contact

A reassuring hand upon an arm

I know all this. Yet I identify

Not with the artful spider, but the fly

Whatever country we came from

Whatever country we are in now

Whatever language we used to speak

The sound of our children crying

Remains the same

Then they sent him

to the frontline

where he learnt

of a thin line

between breathing

and not breathing.
