Conflict Or Consensus Model - My Life

Fieldwork is stellar, sexy, or strenuous and sad Talking values, prolonging childhood Is not for the faint hearted among S. Africa's "Coloured" My "township" boasts about acting backward Using walls for urination, or there on streets Many walk all day long with beer in hand (never discreet) We reward bad for good; kindness is meekness minus Jesus (equals: simple weakness) Abusing drugs, kids, partners - "street privacy"? Is the only "rule" respected by all and sundry II Shall I report these abuses, "shebeens" next door? But the policing is poor, revenge usual & more Or should I show the other cheek, God's love Shall I continue peacemaking, or reward shove with shove? Since Middle School I struggled with moochers, "the lazy" To accept them, help, yet teach a better way Humans seek peace, routines, "order" in some way But competition fir resources, conflict May be the real order of the day Hence wars are welcome for profits, bottom lines! My question: Love or lecture "them" is as old as Time In my "coloured township," there is no "time" for both I'm more pessimistic about human nature now, sad truth!
