109 Blues

In foreign lands,
With hoary haired masters,
This degraded dame,
Finds no greener pastures.

In vain yet with vigour,
She runs ever faster,
Bedding brigadiers
And slim-fit suit pastors.

For countless cold winters
And sizzling summers,
She toils on her back,
Scrounging for suppers.

Till many years later
Her hoary haired masters,
Tell Alice she’s ancient
And send her to Shiloh.

So according to me #StewieLeSavage today we celebrate the sixth day of the 16 days of activism against gender based violence with Leroy Mthulisi Ndlovu.
