All in a day

It’s all in a day It’s the only way Living day by day They capture the way Nowhere to go Life is so slow Live today Die today Death on the street To live this way is no treat They live on the street With disgust they meet At 14 they kill that is a bitter pill They don ‘t care if they spill Your blood at will. In the street They will meet To kill on the street Is what they need To Rape kill and Mame To them it’s all the same. If they don’t rape kill and Mame To them it will be a shame They will be kicked out by their own They will die all alone In a field lying on their back Dead in a burnt-out shack.

Hi Oliver i see it and hear a lot of them. 85% plus of my poems, are based on actual events. The amount of crime in the Cape Flats are staggering. I am busy with a series on the crime there. I am posting one poem from there today. Thanks for the comment!!

Powerful poem Andre. You must live in or see this kind of thing much of the time. It has to be tough observing all of this.
