Reminiscing
Deur Marietjie Grove
Old songs bring back memories
triggering the longing of past lives
of barroom floors and foggy rooms …
Where did those dreams went to?
The girls caught by storybook cheats
and men with roaming eye’s and itchy feet ...
Drug dazed, alcohol infused
missing mother, abusive fathers
unwanted kids, a multi-colored mix -
O, how blasé we have become.
God, we are wasting your precious time!
