ME

Well i felt like having fun and telling it like it is

 

This is me, in South Africa I’m called a born free

Lions do not roam the streets and you won’t find monkeys in a tree

We don’t live in villages and dance around half naked

Although when people get drunk they do reveal parts that should be sacred J

 

Cape Town is beautiful with it sandy white beaches and table mountain as its backdrop

I live in the cosmopolitan hub and I’m a city girl that loves rock

 

People have many stories of this place and yes most of them are real

Crime is rife and its scary but we all deal

Our government is corrupt and oh man can they steal

 

My mother is Malay and my father is of German descent

I can imagine you think I have a funny accent

I’m tall, tanned skin with long dark hair

I’m quirky, very random and love it when people stare

Because not one south African feature I bare

 

I’m classified as an African but hell  I’ve never seen a rhino or a giraffe

I bet you find that funny and I’ve just ,made you laugh,

But if I could choose to live anywhere in this world I’d choose

South Africa, I mean look at this poem damn South Africa my muse

You sure did make me smile. It's crazy how you can leave an imprint on someone through words. You must be a tough woman to live in a place like that especially someone with as much beauty as you. keep writing I would love read more of your poetry and Africa.
