Andre C Anderson Poet Didactic

Poison

Gangs in the Cape Flats
are like wild cats
it does not matter who they come across
for you it can come across as a great loss

In an instant
They can become violent
Killing is in their blood
Like a flash flood

Harming people is what they do best
A life that everybody detest
Their lives are like a bad potion
Filled with poison

They will kill, rape and destroy
And take away people’s joy
All this can happen instantly
Without any dignity

Gang members only have respect for self
Only having respect for one self
Never showing respect for each other
Not even for a blood brother

To them poison is more like death
Like taking their last breath
Dying a slow death,
until taking their last breath

Never in a day
Will they go through in a good way.
The only way
Is by being the prey.
