Friendship Or Money Poem by Kgatlhiso Mojakwana

Maybe I understand not
Maybe it is not my right
But I stand here and I call you all liars
They are given a choice
money or friendship
Before they answer they notice the many eyes carefully watching their lip
and the sealed lips eagerly waiting for an expression
Clouds covers the heart and lightning strikes the mind.
With a smile they release lies just to give the same reaction to the sealed lips
A friend watches in relief and believe. Than see the truth under the flame of life and a curse is brought to the unloyal liar
But can u call him unloyal if he was never loyal to what he said
Is power what dominates the mind?
Is it survival that burns the mind and kills the heart?
My God says do not judge
I write this in shame and in realization.
Shame for judging what i see but do not know.
A realization that I too would do the same in the face of such a question.
