    Sparkle with beautiful gold and diamonds.
    One of Africa’s top models.
    Until they come...

A cherished childhood spent cocooned in my inward-looking community,
Protected me from the indoctrination of a white-privileged history.
But when I stepped into a world where brown was under-represented

You lie, you lie to yourself, you lie to your face,
You know what you are doing, you know it is wrong.

Why are we here?
Why are we here left in fear shedding all these tears
starring at this demond in this mirrior
blinded by everything I see so clear
where am i going after this life?...

But that's okay because I get into my zones
You want to call me names.
Damn dude I'll put your name to shame.

You make me laugh with your behavior.
Because now I...

“POETIC JUSTICE” (VIRTUE OVER VICE)

Virtue over vice—who will pay the price
Ironic twists of fate are flawed if virtue does not equal reward
Logic needs to triumph—to beat and defeat
The tragedy of treachery that strives to cheat...

Victory to the women who’ve survived
Desertion, divorce and all that jive
If your name is still Thompson, after fifty years.
Maybe longer through drought, doubt and tears
Do I stand alone, out above the rest?
Is 50 years single...

Mr Dennis...grimace..what the Dickens is going on...the menace 

Inevitability of a celebrity on every terrace at the tennis..

The profanity and insanity of rampant vanity..

The gist..a D list tryst to bathe in the narcissist mist..

some wear badges and some disguises.
Some I remember and some I forget
but here are some bastards I have met…

DRUNKEN OLD Pete... 

Old Pete went out to celebrate new year
Was over the limit from too much beer
Old drunks they never learn
Cos he took a wrong turn
And drove down harbour hill right off the pier....

ferocity of its...

Hopelessly lying, in a dying bed of depression,
miserably crying, while trying your confession.
Blackening walls, and halls of a fading youth,
Gruesomely calls, of gnaws towards the truth.

Fading beauty, so snooty to those content,
wailing a duty, sooty,...

I know there's something going on, no doubt
I'm wise enough to know what you're about 
It's not pleasant dear, you must live with fear
That's sure to ruin time left on earth here.

I will keep my...

Are you the one that blocked the sun?
That fired the bullet from the gun
That laughed aloud at what you’d done
To this fair land that cash built

That sat on high upon your throne
Surveying what you bought...

 I knew a wee man with a claim to fame
Who was on stage, Wee Willy was his name
He could do the splits
As well as high kicks
But wearing a kilt put his name to shame.

You were there for me,
You set me free.
Free from all the pain.
Free from all the shame.
When you left me there,
All I could do was stare,
As you walked into the night.

You left,
You were right.
Right that I...

My spirit feels weak and my flesh so strong

It is totally opposite to Your...
