This Is Now

By Parizo Van Thulare Now you realize life after matric is not child's play Now you realize nobody chose to stay Now you see the reasons beyond the grinding Being independent is not as easy as you thought Bieng a tangent is not as easy as you were taught Here we do practicals No theory is of existence When the genius dance above the law We are the first suspects When Romeo breaks Juliet We are the first to be given names It's a race of mankind versus patience A war between money and love A match between fame and success Only few get to choose The majority get to loose What you have been told then Becomes addition to points of Cardinal That one which we poke When there is still hope The one that we poke When we become broke Wishing time was an R line So we change gears and it displays reverse lights So we all jump in and go back to life Back when we knew nothing about worries When we were just babies in napkins Dreams become reality in television In real life they don't exist Welcome to my world Here we fight only for survival
