Streetlamp Learning

The flip of a channel
Brings
Africa’s poverty
Home to me
Inequality
Pained
Children suffering
Books
A treasure chest
Knowledge
A ticket to freedom
Streetlamps
A torch
They desperately embrace

The flip of a channel
Transports
Africa’s reality
Home to me
Inequality
Strained
Children dreaming
Education
A way out
Hope
A vision to survive
School
An exit ticket
They desperately embrace

Healing

Your pain

Permeates

Common space

Love

Is always

Free to give

If

The receiver

Knows how to accept

Its gifts

Your worry

Permeating

The air

Accepting

Broken moments

Perhaps

Forever lost

Love

A treasure

That keeps on growing

Reconciliation

A path to healing

Tracked in blood

Dripping

Gradually

Tears

Converts to laughter

Occasional total serenity

A dream

Worth chasing after

Literary Freedom Questioned

Bushman (Bushi)

A term derogatory referenced

Cooli

A name openly unquestioned

Whites

Strangely still synonymously with European accepted

An alternative View

San people

Still surviving struggling, but free on the plains of Africa

Indian

Defined by a an identity broader than a sub-continent stratified

European

Beyond the shallow skin and borders defined

Storytelling

Characters

Continues to live

Beyond the vision of the author

Ideas

Resonate

In the voices of the intelligentsia

Contexts

Creates

Platforms intellectually configured

Pictures

Mobilises

Images caught in sepia

Narration

Invites

Response from even a reluctant following

Another kind of soft matter...

The memory foam of my brain

Reacts

Collecting its cache

Dead skin

Squirting cum

Vaginal fluids

Leaking

Springs creaking

What are the real issues

About which you are

Speaking

The memory foam of my brain

Remembers

Offering its resistance

New ideas

Squashing old fears

Dreamland sweet

Slumbering springs

Absorbing

What are the expectations

That causes this unexpected

Bleeding

The memory foam of my brain

Porous

Images captured

Trapping split seconds

Decades past

Indentations wrinkled

Concepts tempered

A curious mind

What are the passions

That urges me to go on

Thinking
