Venting

Your continued support and encouragement is always appreciated. I hope will all find ourselves... Todays post is me letting out my frustrations... Peace

Venting

The instances
They took the chances
To remind me
Of my skin color
Shoved their
Stinking whiteness
Down my black throat
While they desperately
Try to hold on
To a fallen regime
And dying state of mind
Trying to resuscitate
A dead monster
By feeding it
Their bitter souls

It not only
Rears its ugly head
In one horse towns
With khaki clad farmers
In their empty Double cabs
And 10 labourers at the back.
It taunts me
In shopping ques
Where N.G. Kerk housewives
In thick layered make up
That covers their insecurity
And unhappiness
Turn their noses up
And think they own the world.
And on suburban roads
Where their beer bellied husbands
Presume they always
have right of way

Or in the work place
Where their knowledge of rugby
Validates their competence
And they patronize anyone
Who doesn't know
The Blue Bulls captain
Or uses the words
"is, I,and are" correctly.
Where we are just tolerated
And will never be
Fully accepted as equals
Or anything that resembles
A decent human being
And they do all in their power
To make sure you never forget that

Whether we like it or not
Legislation only changes laws
And not hearts!

Love,peace,happyness

Her smile

I beg the sun
Not to shine
As bright as her smile
Pleed with the stars
To lose the twinkle
In her eyes
My heart can't
Take the pain
Nor the blame
My eyes place on me
And the guilt trip dish
Memory serves me cold
As I vividly remember
The day I extinguished
Your smile
