Love Doesn’t Die.
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with lies
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with alibis
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with capitalist compromise
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with spiritual demise
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with lonely lives
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with café styles
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with I n I
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with testosterone lines
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with white smiles
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with cerebral cries
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with the colour of our eyes
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with session types
I must apologise
if some never read these rhymes
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
while music dies
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with penis rides
I must apologise
if I’m to keep up
with Gemini
I must apologise
if poverty seeks wealth
in rand mines
for foreign whites
to be buried alive
or shot for their rights
I must apologise
if housing rights
are placed aside
to satisfy
politrick pride
I must apologise
if you can get raped and murdered
at the age of nine
Accept my apology…
