alone in a hole in a wall
no more turbulence
in mzansi
alone in a hole in a wall
next to overflowing opulence
in mzansi
left my town in a greyhound
to live like a hound
alone in a hole in a wall
in mzansi
incoming message: i want to know why
outgoing message: this is why
you put our affair on facebook
yet you cannot read a book
you send me sms – each the length of a book
full of emojis with either an angry or a bored look
so i should know and do something about your emotions
but you express your emotions
using stupid stock images
from the same stupid stock pages
every one of your kind use
you who seek love but give abuse
every day a caterpillar drive from red october
so i left in november
tired of taking your s… emojis and all
for mzansi
to live alone in a hole in a wall
in peace in mzansi.
