Discipline master
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
A twisted upper lip
A bite on the tongue
A forehead of wrinkles
A picture of gloom
A stick in a claw hand
Ragged and jagged on edge
Thrust back-forth ominously
A swish of a dark omen
Whack! Whish! Whash! Stick
Snap! Crack! Dark burns
Tears teeter on the eyes
Plonk! Plop! Of a teardrop
Tense immense in air
Agony crouches in vicinity
As one of our colleagues
Faces the crispy music
Snarling, sharply gazing
In fiery breath of dragon
Is the awful discipline master
An ugly hellish demon
Lethal!
