Invite me Today to Un-invite me Tomorrow

 You will invite me today and uninvite me tomorrow

Love me and hate me 

Date me and break up with me 

Find me, lose me 

Hold me, let me go 

You will save me and sell me out 

Pay me and defraud me 


You will visit me 

Leave me lonely 

Intimate with me 

Call it love for me

Then go mute on me 

Try to use me 

Empty me for all I have 


You’ll be charming with me 

Smile and joke with me 

Call me sweet nothing 

Then go quite on me 

Abandon me

Make me an enemy 


You will make food for me 

Lay a table before me 

Laugh out loud and send emojis to me 

Braai with me

Wish me a happy whatever 

Then go far from me 

Bully me 

Tell on me 

Make up stories 

Play nasty with me 


You will hold me 

Get comfy 

Play music 

Until you don’t get what you want 

Then you will let me go 

Fight with me 

Make up things about me 

Be my sunshine 

And call rain on me 


Why won’t you create space for us 

Live without these ups and downs 

Keep your excitement 

Keep your madness 


Why don’t we 

Live like adults 

Play like kids 

Have mercy on me 


Why don’t we play it fair 

Fight fire with fire 

I’m the good guy 


Why don’t we meet each other halfway 

Say what we have to say 

Let bygones be on bygons way 


Why don’t we have fun the old school way 

Put our phones down and fight the right way 


Why don’t we say the right things 

Greet each other like mature siblings 


Why don’t we pray the right prayer 

Grin and bear it like we’ve always done player 

Cause we don’t have all our lives to regret 

Your one moment of silly regret 


Why don’t we leave it all behind 

Start from scratch 

Cause you done messed up enough 

Used up all your mercy cards

There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm   Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm   But actually we got to use our brains   People met each other offline   It was a fun time   Of-course there was no offline because there was no online   The only thing online was our brains   Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online   Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains   Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone   Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain   Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again  At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email   You had to have a tough real conversation   Or r...

Love?

  The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over. Someone that I will use for something, to get something out of them. To the world love is the person who carries my burdens, has to deal with my demons, my aggression, my flaws. Love also is not the contrary of all these things for if it were then it would not be love.   In the world a friend again is the person that you use/ abuse. When you need someone to burden and then fight with. Tell them your petty fights at work and mischievous things you find yourself entangled in.  What then is love? Love cannot be fenced into a description, precisely the word love is limited, it’s only a word and can be abused and is used and abused. Everyone uses that word even when they are drunk and when they make absolutely no sense. They use that word when they have abused their friends and want forgiven...

When people genuinely love each other there is no need for boundaries

When we love each other we do not need to set boundaries. Love overcomes the need for boundaries. It is when there is no love that boundaries exist.  If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries.  Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you.  Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict. We thrive from the ups and downs of relationships and thus we need boundaries from the very people that we say we love. Is it not possible to live without hurting each other?  Do you want to be in love or ...
