Die Naarheid
Baie keer
is ek
mismoedig.
Net kak
en sukkel
en
steel
en oorlog.
Ooral.
Dan luister ek
hier
naby
en ek verwonder vir
my
hoe klein
ons denke en
verstand.
Elkeen kyk net
hiervoor
hul eie voete,
koppe in die grond.
Ons kyk mekaar mis
en as ons sien
dan is dit uit
dieselfde lense
wat so klein is.
En ek sien nie vir
jou nie
omdat jy nie vir my
sien nie.

Popping wheelies in the mud
ME
I have issues
I don’t listen
I don’t learn
I don’t do
I don’t earn
Your respect
I am not
Pretty
Or easy
Neither please'y
Or jobby
Bit I am
A whole
A lot of things
That you are not
Things that are
Other manifestations
Of US
And US
ThIS US
Who are we or what
Lest we forget
Live yet again
With regret
I can’t
Pretend to be
Less than me
Yet again
In the hope
Of love.

we continue
as long as we
continue
to place identity
above humanity
as long as we
continue
to believe in
metaphor
and fake symbols
and everything
that we have been
told
as long as we
continue
to place identity
above humanity

a poem without a title
ek is
wat ek is
raak bewus
omskep jou lus
raak bewus
van die ding
‘n ding
wat ons almal bind
ongeag wat jy dink
‘n ding wat
bestaan
al gaan ons een vir
een dood
hierdie ding, die
MENSDOM
soveel nonsense
wat belangrik raak
wat ons belangrik
maak
almal toegesluit in
‘n huis
en die mure kraak
fondasies van haat
where is the place
for us to imagine
who and what we all
could become
would become
beyond MENSDOM
