»Pure as white«

by Happy Mhlongo

Stab the innocent chicken
Fish off that lovely fish
That dog in that slavery chain night and day
Hardly beat that god's donkey
With divel inside you
"Never went to church"

Pure as white
Like from birth no sins
Never been touched and never touched
People ask left and right... and find nothing
Looking at the face and judge
And hearing what I said and prepare judgement
Seriously: pure as white rose

The mouth that never said "I love you" before
The eyes that never see before
And the dog that never touch the bone.
Same say is the act of "God"
Same say "Gay"
While same say "perfectly not romantic"
And laugh as they see me going pass them.
And mumured "Shy boy".

The soul that never felt anything
The mouth that had never touch
