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 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…
