Barack Austine Poems

We used to see them worn by surgeons in an operating theatre,
But Covid-19 has sent them to the streets,
So that even those who can't spell the word 'laboratory' can use them.
At the onset, I seriously loathed them,
...

We put our effort together,
All the tares to gather,
That our wheat may grow,
Like perfect cornrow,
...

I saw a man living right in my space,
Rough and devoid of grace,
He was ready to quibble and murmur,
When not swimming in the pool of humor,
...

Barack Austine Biography

I was born in Kenya at the shores of Lake Victoria. Professionally I am trained as an economist, but literature flows in my blood. I love uplifting humanity, and I believe that there is an invincible invisible hand guiding the universe.)

The Best Poem Of Barack Austine

My Facemask Has Saved Me.

We used to see them worn by surgeons in an operating theatre,
But Covid-19 has sent them to the streets,
So that even those who can't spell the word 'laboratory' can use them.
At the onset, I seriously loathed them,
They seem to be at war with my rejuvenating deep breaths,
But now I have learned better,
I don't have to justify my sneering to a random and unsolicited interviewer with my mask on.
Will they be patient enough to listen if I start telling it?
I don't need to explain why my lips are competing with clay soil in cracks with my mask on.
Will they be sensitive enough to realize I'm famishing and in néed of a reasonable portion of well-cooked food served generously?
With my mask on, I don't need to explain why I'm in a spot of bother,
Will they understand that I am falling back with accommodation expenses for the third consecutive month?
With my face well masked,
I can endure the cracks,
Defy the pains stacked,
And Burst into a peal of noiseless laughter without the fear of being called crazy,
Indeed, my Facemask has saved me.
