Koster Poem by Tshepo Malekutu

When will your mater pay peppercorn rent?
You live here and eat my food,
seating here with an intense straight face,
on my chair! Under my roof!

So I must raise somebody's child?
Use my water and gas for school,
five years after school; you won't even give me a dosh,
came here asking for a place to stay.

Where's your mater?
If she is not paying late, she pays half lolly,
if she doesn't pay half dough, she doesn't pay.
I am attending your school caucus, for what?

My older daughters are complaining about you,
they buy food here, water and gas.
If I don't receive money today, you need to vamoose.
Is she saving herself, so that I must sweat?
