On the second day of X-mas
The poet came across
A Classical music performance:
Jaqueline du Pre and Daniel
Barenboim
Directing the London
Symphony Orchestra
What a treat!
Reminding the poet of times
In Southern Africa
Within a wide group of friends
In discussions about life and
Family ties
The philosophy of getting ahead
In one’s personal development.
On the second day of X-mas
Life has presented itself with
Problems
One had never thought will
Be important to one’s later
Life
While dwelling in the sun of
The Southern African continent
As for some the sun is all
Important
For others born in the ascent
Of the sun
It’s very important
Like food to stay sweet
For others like one’s spouse
It’s the milk
On which life’s dependent on.
