If you can’t think of something to do, I will find you something.
Our mother’s edict to us girls, and she was the queen.
To this day neither my sis or I can settle down
We are known as Energizer Bunnies all over town.
Multi-tasking is second nature to both of us.
We are ridiculous overachievers, but don’t make a fuss.
If we are not busy, doing three things, we are dead or asleep.
Mother’s edict and threat landed way down somewhere deep.
Shout shout scream
So we can't hear the crying.
Speak up, put out dream.
Swimming with a throat so dry.
Problems and even mores,
Make believing golden sun.
Bush fires and cyclones,
Colour draining service gun.
Viraling the everythings,
Virus to cutting hair.
Fireworks in pineapple,
Ivories are not rare.
Wowing by every move,
Breaking records in a row.
Broken morals, rotten minds.
How far can it go?
Everytime I draw a line
Close and closer to hell,
Overachievers with no conscience
Outdone themselves.
Apologise to everything
Caused damage, can't undone.
Devastated, embarrassed
To be called a human.
