To Olo Mongale

she was here, 

the girl was here.

mmmh…

Looks staunch, looks like courage, she was saying : it actually is war. 

wrangling madness in a car.

Fighting.

Strong.

Eventually falling,

…Yhoo Olo’

she was here…

and warned women: 

 of the insufficiency of even perfect caution…

& the predatory tendencies of their sauve madness…

I have nothing to say, 

But to observe, come to anger & sit here

& protest through soft text, 

about the fault in the masculine,

women remain receivers of their many perpetrations, 

from even men beloved of the loudest merit, …

These sauve monsters were/are brandishing relentless war, 

inciting unimaginable grief…

And they sit there, 

with many entitled to the very life they extinguish in women 


******************************************

many mental extremes abound here…

every year, history recycles the trauma, 

and we’ve been crying over these injustices, 

like harassed skeletons in the Republic 


******************************************

…I pray there’s a collective masculine urge 

to resolve the crises arriving with the violence they perpetrate…

*************************************


& that the feminine voice may continue  to rise, 

with even more wailing TO GOD! TO GOD!

& in our  mutual (feminine) grief …

to persist in our praying,

To herald comfort for even our children, 

For a better South Africa & a better world…

***sigh***

…& even in this righteous delusion 

and truly toxic uncertainty

of a nation under masculine siege, 

I hope, 

…we herald (pray) anyway ✊🏿

Oh! that we keep on praying! 

To Modimo Olorato! 

  

Rest in peace Olorato Mongale ❤️
