post apartheid stress syndrome
pass
passed
waiting in the corridors
fighting in the minds of those
identifying with the work of our
fellows
then the strange came
then the swarm swarmed
the beehive money
for the taking
the quondam regime
being so despicable
made it easy to be immune
to assume entitlement
for laws of just settlement
were wavered
in the winds
of course change has come
the change to be like them
they fell into the trap
with arms wide open
had learnt the uncorrected things
to fit into the old flake shoes
also to stomp the path well ridden
they missed an opportunity golden
they thrashed the thing they loved
where money does buy love
is only to be human
nature
they just couldn’t rise above
the dis-ease of euphoria
this is their legacy as it now bends
whether they want to stone it or not
