dinge happen innie mang
(liewe hemel)

ek sê my broe
die mafias hettie mongrels vergewe
ma’ innie mang is hulle haba vergete –
hie’ word hulle ge-n’ca
because why, dinge happen innie mang

dis hectic innie mang
die man se hart bloei daa' bo
because why, it's a concern my broe’ –

stoppie bloed my broe
stoppit, my ghazilam
net die man daa' bo
kan ons nou rescue –

so, val op jou knieё
en gee hom sy due
my broe!

DAYS

What are days for?
Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question
Brings the priest and the doctor
In their long coats
Running over the fields.

Philip Larkin, "Days " from Whitsun Weddings.
