Phumlani Mthethwa Poet I do not know?

Don'T Forget To Press Record

Press record and create a scene
No second take, she just looks mean
Confront her, she will cause a scene
She's not the one for clothes, know what I mean

I mean just press record and create a scene
She's in love with the lens, replay that scene
No lunch on that set if you know what I mean
The relationship she has with that camera is just mean

I mean just press record and create multiple masterpieces
I love February.........on that calendar shoot that's what I mean
She teases the age restriction into ten pieces
Police holding off parents as they make a scene

I mean press record, no clothes is the point of this scene
Beliefs and morals are nowhere to intervene
The sight of a bible can cause a scene
Each cut is like a pause after a verse causing them to convene

I mean press record and you'll see what I mean
Her body is a regular show.........not the cartoon I mean
That has to be the emptiest wardrobe I have ever seen
Please don't provoke further, she's absolutely keen

I mean press record she has the attention it seems
Someone call the press this just in
Her age just revealed, she's young it seems
Called her mom at work they said she's not in

Press record leave a message her daughter is making a scene
She's on her way to the scene it seems
I mean this girl is acting out her dream on this scene
While malicious names are shot from the crowd bouncing off her shield it seems

Press record this will make the evening news it seems
Journalists happy to get the story never mind the kid if you know what I mean
Her mother does not get the warm reception as it seems
Her disappointment goes without saying if you know what I mean

I mean press record just to record over this particular scene
This generation has much more to offer than this it seems
You mean to say the past leaders led movements for this? That's just mean
Request them to clean up their act and create a new scene

Don't forget to press record.

Cherl Dunn June 27, 2014 at 8:13 PM A well expressed piece of work here, yes I agree your generation has much more to be express than just this scene here. I look and see so much hope for the future in your generation than they are given credit for. So many of my generation say well these children that are coming up are going to waste the world, they have know morals at all. Wrong every day I see the reverse. Give your generation a try at least, my genereation should remove there blinders and look around and not judge. cheri Phumlani Mthethwa June 30, 2014 at 5:39 AM We have so much potential, i'm not sure whether it's the amount of keys we have in our pockets to open doors that actually results in not so influential decisions
