HULLE SÊ...

hulle sê

ek is mal
hulle praat baie

ma' hulle
sê niks.

i am not

well adjusted

my faith

is not entrusted

to some social structure

designed to keep me

in my place.

i am not

apathetically idle,

only happy

to be sad

and powerless

a pawn, a victim

of happenchance

or circumstance.

hulle sê

ek is befok

but ek is

just

mal-adjusted

my belief

is vested in the many

truths i see.

expressed in our actions

or more likely

our inaction

content with discontent

turning a blind eye

convinced of the lie

enslaved

in our minds.

hulle bly sê

ek is nog altyd mal

ma’ hulle stemme is dof

net so

‘s hulle gedagtes

vol bedrog

ma’ tog bly
hulle sê niks.
