A Villanelle On Our Villainy
A poem on our interactions with nature.
Our lives are rooted in technology
We have no room for anything real
It’s just how we live our lives, don’t question
Each day we awake, no time for nature
We take no time to check our mental seal
Our lives are rooted in technology
Humans have no path to truly mature
Inside, never knowing what is real
It’s just how we live our lives, don’t question
Yet outside we open the aperture
Though now, we just slither back like an eel
Our lives are rooted in technology
In truth, it may be too late to save-her
Our race is in an unforgiving wheel
It’s just how we live our lives, don’t question
Time outdoors can try hard to clear this blur
But let’s be real, we've all lost our feel
Our lives are rooted in technology
It’s just how we live our lives, don’t question

Talented Black creators spotlight: Catherine Nyomenda (Chap 3).
Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.
