obedia nong Poems

Sleep deprivasion caused by hunger, hunger for food for a kid who hasn't eaten in days.
Sleep deprivasion caused by nature, filthy blankets wet from rains.
sleep deprivasion caused by nightmares, dreams of an alcoholic father and an abusive aunt, cause of my running away.
Sleep deprivasion caused by pains, sharp pains from my chest caused by the cough I'v had for 6 months.

Pity me for pitying her for not seeing me when I look at her.
Pity her for not realising that only what is in the heart gives happines.
Pity me for not knowing what to say when I'm near her so I try to sound poetic.
Pity me for saying things which are everything but poetic so to her I sound pathetic.
...

From Soshanguve to pretoria and back
Im the only one still rocking it like the American Flag
Im proudly South African so I don't need to slang when I say this.
My handsomeness will live in you till you enter your grave.
