Hi Mom
hi mom
i came here to let you know
my sister and i have a tough time
she has been passing at school though
has a diploma and is now doing her degree
as for i
i dropped out of college
like the rest of them
i mean
my friends and other township people
it is sad but true
i remember how you worked hard for me to get an education
i have disappointed you mom
uncle frederick cried when i told him
he had prepared me a welcome party
instead of going back home with him
i opted to go to aunty patricia at the botanical farm
her boss treats her well and
had even sold her some of his company's shares
it was wonderful out there
i have just been released from jail
the police identified a wrong face
picture your son's body wobbling at the back of a police van
i would like you to protect me
you used to say the world is not asleep
tracy bore you a grandson
i was shocked to hear her boyfriend christen him alpheus the third
that is pure bad luck
how could they call the child by i and my dead cousin
they should have asked for my advise
i know you are in a good place
abraham and other angels look after you
i am in trouble
i went to the priest to see if he could convince the judge
i am not a shoplifter
by the way
i have to go now
tracy is good looking
i wish she was a girl next door
here are the roses for better days
