A RHAPSODY IN GREEN
Crazy young men who lived too fast
Flew too high the trip couldn’t last
Small time heroes from back in sixty-nine
Tried it all - had a wonderful time.
Lonely boys who are misunderstood
Hoping that the bad can be made good
In love with sad memories of content
Writing letters that are never sent.
The people they need are far away
Exposed and unfeeling they sit and play
One day soon their time will come
A time of revelation in the sun.
Lost in their minds they repent,
Alone in their minds they dement.
(1994 – Pretoria Central Prison)
