Description
Obscured
Obscured by mangled branches and cast iron rusted fences, that twist around barbwire some standard home South African defenses
I see you although
Somewhat obscured
Through this sad and twisted view
A stark reminder of dangerous days
Where people run around with knives and guns in drug induced rage
Taking life or woman's pride
You never really safe on the inside
Yet I see you through the glass shards of a crumbling nation
Looking down on me with misplaced elation
I don't own you little one
Yet you wag your tail despite the jungle of pain from behind you whimper and wail
Somewhat obscures and not easily noticed
But I am obscure and notice far too much
Wish I could cut my emotional umbilical cord and fall away into dust
Yet I see you
As I wait
To speak with a man who has a degrees in speaking to mental disease
He try's to lead but can be led
Like a Shepard and the sheep
They love him long before they are slaughtered for meat
Covered my intelligence since time forgot
Intelligence is dangerous as it allows unencumbered free thought
Where you can see further than the average man
Beyond the smoke of the political grand stands
And into the the fiery eye of truth
That they obscure from view
Just like you behind tour metal fence
All I see is a weak defense for the door to the left is rusted and unlocked
So why all the barbwire when someone forgot
That I can walk in through the aged gate
Either pat the dog
Or end its elated wait
With the power of my hand - I can pat and take faith
Or strangle
And seal fate
Its all very obscured
