What is a family?

A family that can't support you when you have dry pockets
and bank account
counting zero rands.
What is a family?

When the month is approaching its due
nor expire date.
They are so close
you can't even breath well, as they all over you with smsez, whatsapp text, please call me and missed calls.
What is a family?

You may feel their presents when there is moola,
Feel their existence because the bank account is smelling moola.
Shining like a gold
Like a City of Gold
Whatbis family?

My words may sound hash and pushing
but I produce unspoken truth with my unspoken words well.
What is family?

I find myself lost
In the darkest mist
having no wish to meet family.
End up being alone at no man's land
As I feel lonely like Akon singing Mr lonely.
What is family?

My words are hard
Solid as sedimentary rocks
Nor igneous rocks.
But producing the unspoken truth
What is family?
