Chasing The Night Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

They call it nice time
Young girls chasing the night
Looking for old men to soothe their unpalatable life
To bandage their self inflicted wounds with alcohol, drugs and sex
Young girls are chasing the night
Putting on their delusional make up
They chase after the rich and famous
Drowning their lives in turmoil
Exhausting their youthful years
Intoxicating their fragile minds
Young girls are chasing the night
Putting on brave faces
They pursue the fat rich old men
Unaware of the dangers lurking in the dark
Their young lives are extinguished before they bloom
