We live…..
We continue to pretend
We copy
Because that’s in fashion.
••
Painted Faces
Leaving no Traces
Fiftyish Women
Pretending to be
Forever thirty,
Obsessed by age
Not finding rage
No! not even Grace
•••
Men From Metro -Sexual
To Retro-sexual
Proving substantial,
Gizmos Essential!
Looking Influential
Faking Credential
Doubting Potential
••••
Half-Truths
Outright lies
For motives of profit
The lies of “Materialism”
Succumbing to manipulations,
For notions of happiness,
Financial strains
Comes with long term drains
•••••
Eligible Singles
Readily Mingle
To Romance and jingle
Then come Expectations,
Anger and Frustrations,
Lonely sex
Eternal vex
••••••
Divorces and Affairs
Becoming a fashion
Relationships are broken
Through SMS and Faxes
Marriages then Fixes
To save on Taxes.
•••••••
The key to liberation on “African Fashion”
Is not a passion for fashion
But in knowing that,
What does not contain “African Culture and Heritage”
Is only an “illusion” to all Africans.
