“Blinded by the lights, I’m drawn in by the crowds,
An eclectic group of people, rubbing shoulders without smiles”
“Started out as kids, stealing Pepsi cans and sweets,
But nowadays being stopped and asked questions by police”
“Life flashed by, I was soon reminiscing,
As slowly I drowned, in a plateaued Ambition”
“Yesterday she was the one, yet today we call her old news,
And move onto the next one, Our values greatly skewed”
“Our last conversation I now contemplate,
Abruptness of what followed made my heart disintegrate”
“But soon there would be trouble, and unforeseen change,
Which led to separation, and hearts so full of rage”
“Freedom of expression, hell-bent at its mastery,
But when it didn’t flow, anxiety seeped craftily”
“At this stark situation, tales of devastation,
Families ripped apart, and destroyed past restoration”
“His words cut through, like a dagger to the heart,
Exposing their hypocrisy; blind religiosity”
“Demonically possessed, with intent to spread fear,
Instead were met with bravery, and love beyond compare,”
“Mundane! Everyday is the same,
Wake up, go to work. Slowly going insane”
“What did they even mean by that? And why said in that tone?
I dialogue internally to calculate my wrongs”
“A queue jumper the highlight, as she mussels her way past me,
An angry woman shouts “Oi! You must be a nutter!”
“But little do they know you haven’t even got the foggiest,
But pride gets in the way, and you start speaking with such confidence”
“A choice between a criminal and him, they chose the latter,
And proceeded with mob justice, his back they whipped and battered”
“But no one else was there, so she posts pics on the internet,
900 friends, but no one there to share the moment with”
“Wish I said all of the things that were locked up in my mind,
But now times gone, it feels like I’m wasting mine”
“It’s cold, you’re ignored, and exposed to the elements,
Abandoned in negligence, considered irrelevant”
19. CHIPOLOPOLO 2015: CAN HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
“The weight of this moment precedes grown men’s cries,
As we remember our dearly loved brothers who died.”
20. THE ANGRY SHARPNESS MONSTER
“Not much sleep was had as he set off at break of dawn,
The thought of being at sea always had his attention drawn.”
