A Girl Falls Pregnant Poem by Ntshima Ramokone

A girl falls pregnant…

B’cos she had faced the hungry hunger
That had put her on a hanger
To make a fool of her with anger
As she had no food, no clothes
For her baby and herself
As she paid all by her clothes and money for transport

While staying in the lack of house called homeless
In her hands she got a bad present jobless
But her boyfriend keeps on giving her the words “you are less”
As poverty is the reason to die

So she got no choice
To stay with her boyfriend who didn’t even use a choice
Thinking he was in control
As he just lost control
Over his dig
Now he don’t even want to dig a hole
For the couple as a whole,
He is just an S-hole
Always want to be sole

He is running towards the flames of irresponsibility
While the treasure of responsibility
Is always there
Just over here

All he simply got to do is to open
Up for it from the oven
To help his girlfriend
As he got the skills
And money
He don’t call her honey
Any more
But he still want some more
On her
While he don’t want to hear
About his baby who is supposed to be supported
By him, that’s him, winning to lose
As he refuses his own blood
What the hell refuses God’s gift
He won’t even get a Christmas gift

He thinks he is clever
But he doesn’t have that wisdom
To bring freedom
Inside their relationship
He just keeps on calling warship
As she is calling worship
In order to get a job pop
For her and the baby
Is a heart unlocked life for her

He does not respect his fatherhood
As he things he is in Hollywood
Which is not that right
As he had really enjoyed the ride
So he will suffer until his death
As he pretends to be deaf
