What Are You Doing To This World Poem by Amos Motlanthe
What Are You Doing To This World
They came in valentine ‘code
red and white
looking as if they just got robbed
off their theme melody
of a swimming summer
cold and warm animated flowers
roses, lilies, etc
then grew thin thick in my small
stingy garden
I picked one up.
red and fair she is
with black-heads on her night soft
shiny skin
she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me
she loves me not…
it was five of them
how sad
