HELP
Afrika, those footballs and T -Shirts you sent me were shit.
Give me a leopard.
Afrika...
I don't know who to be angry at
so I'm writing this letter to you.
Stop beaming in images of starving,
smiling children.
Afrika;
Sanitation,
Healthcare,
Centralised Government,
Whoop.
In the slums of the suburbs, the fields of the factories,
in the mass graves of bars,
An army is rising.
An army of millions of well dressed, inertiatic spastics
with
Nowhere to go
Nothing to say
Nothing to be.
Afrika, you can't innoculate against these
diseases of the mind.
I'll give you my dinner
if you give me your soul.
Today's headline Afrika;
JENNIFER ELLISON CAUGHT IN TOPLESS ROMP.
I'm not joking.
This is the beating heart of the West,
the screaming soul of the
White Man's Culture.
If you ever beat illiteracy,
This will beat you.
Don't worry Afrika. Our
supermarkets stock Fair Trade Bananas.
Nobody buys them tho.
You should see the smug fucking looks
on our faces.
Afrika, I had to use all my eggs
so I baked a cake and
threw it in the bin.
I buy bottled water 'cause it tastes better.
Fuck you.
Afrika, I swear
we were all Communists at heart
until the Credit Crunch shook
it's invisible fists.
Now we're all pissing ourselves.
My heart writes poetry a pen
will never understand.
The Size of your Sun.
Hope, Afrika.
You can have today, I will trade you the
present,
but you're going to have to give me your future.
Time, Afrika.
One day you might know the
pain
of outliving your own soul.
