Lost Trust

Trust a politician to get votes from citizens then forget about them,
Trust a politician to say he supports something today and to say he doesn't tomorrow,
Trust a politician when he heads a civil society and he will say the same is bad when he gets to parliament,
Trust a politician to call for mass action then disappear and leave the crowd.

Trust a lady to give you chocolate for a gift and end up eating a bigger chunk of the same,
Trust a lady to ask you to buy her lunch then she eats a quarter and leaves the rest,
Trust a lady enough to send her airtime and she will not call to say thank you after you send.
Trust a lady to say she loves your mother when you are dating and to call your mother a dog after you marry her.

Im just saying.

Later

People talk of later,
That is much greater,
But the later,
Is never clear.

One thing about later,
That is always clear,
Is Grey hair,
And lots of despair.

All of us can't be rich,
There would be no one to fish,
But you can still fish
and get rich.

Work for a later,
That will impress a narrator,
Work for a later,
That will help the younger.

What will your later look like?
Will it prick with Spike?
Will it be read to many on Mike?

A Dog's Social Life

It was in high school,
When I learned playing pool,
With my friends from school,
Being together felt cool.

Then we chose subjects,
Computer studies was for intellects,
They started computer projects,
The rest felt like rejects.

But we were friends,
So the showed us computer trades,
We opened emails,
We enjoyed the forwards.

When we finished school,
We no longer played pool,
But we kept emailing,
With time we lost touch.

Most times were spent,
Behind computer screens,
Friendship was laid to rest,
We explored the virtual greens.

Then came social network,
Friendship started coming back,
This time in pokes,
Tags, comments and in-boxes.

The we followed each other,
We got tagged and became buddies,
Friendship was good 2go,
But this too was for a season.

We blocked and reported friends,
We invited and followed strangers,
We became hacking victims,
We also became internet addicts.

Our pool skills died,
High school friends lost touch,
We opted out of social network,
There were no more emails coming,

Now it's just me,
Beside me is a dead computer,
A victim of a virus attack,
The son of a shared file.

Just like a dog pees on trees,
On its way to stray,
So have I peed on my social trees,
I have gone astray.

Like a dog sleeping on its stomach,
With its face deep in its paws,
Hiding the shame of being an outcast,
Reeling from the fangs of lonely feelings.

So do I lie on my laptop mat,
Hiding my face behind the blank screen,
I am also a social outcast,
All this time, I thought I was right,

I was driving to A Dog's Social Life!

Shit on My Windscreen

The bird eats elsewhere,
But it shits anywhere,
While I park somewhere,
It decides to shit there.

Shit on my windscreen,
Makes my face lose the grin,
They should reduce the parking fee,
To cater for the bird's pee.

I have to wash the car twice a day,
This is really squeezing my pay,
And the government say,
It is a brighter day.

With shit on my windscreen??
