Bob The Clown

Bob is a middle aged, professional circus clown.

He lives in a tiny apartment, in a shabby part of town.

The type of place, not to be outside  after the sun goes down.

Piss stained walls with broken bottles, used rubbers and needles littered on the ground.

Even though his apartment has indoor plumbing,

The pipes are so ancient, thus the water usually aint running.

Even though his apartment has electricity,

Bob can hardly pay the bills; hence the power’s discounted frequently.

At night Bob finds it hard to sleep, because he is really deep in debt,

So he drinks whisky until his thoughts and worries are suppressed,

And the liquor takes its toll on him and he loses consciousness.

Then deep in his sleep he dreams he leads a life full of success.

Like old Mother Hubbard, his fridge and cupboard are so bare

That the roaches and rats, in his apartment, moved elsewhere.

He’s only really happy when he performs and the crowd laughs and cheers

And his boss awards him with a free meal and free beers.

You see Bob fucked up his life; cuz he never paid much attention while at school

He was too busy making his mates laugh and being cool

So please my dear little children, be good and work hard in school

Or our friend Bob the Clown could one day be you.

Salvation

Oh LORD, our Father and King,

May the power and love of your Kingdom;

 Reign over us.

May your Spirit of holiness light a torch;

So we may be enlightened in the darkness.

So as not to lose sight and direction

And stray from the path of righteousness.

May we fully submit to your dominion?

And show you an upmost honour and praise

For You are, the Alpha, Omega, the Ancient of Days.

And only you have full wisdom and faultless will be the ways;

Of the man who walks in your light,

Living by your word, day, and night.

And he shall be a living testament,

To the life giving and saving grace of

Jesus Christ.

Amen

UNSAFE ABORTION

Please, please young African girl,

As I say this I am literally on my knees.

So please lend my your ear;

And Listen to my righteous pleas.

I might not know all about your situation;

But don’t perceive this as ignorance.

I aint claiming to know best;

So don’t perceive this as arrogance.

We all make mistakes no-one is perfect;

So I aint trying to judge you.

I know the situation you in is so complex;

But allow me to share a bit of truth.

Before you do want you want to do,

Please just think twice.

Cause not only is it murder,

In the Mighty Lord’s eyes.

But it most probably could turn out to be suicide.

I mean do you really

Want to lie on the mud floor of a smelly hut.

And do you really want

To have a coat hanger stuck up

Your, you know what.

The illiterate poor excuse of an abortionist

Might screw up

Inexperienced and unqualified he might accidently

Rip out your guts

The point I am trying to get across is;

 Unsafe abortion can have a truly expensive cost.

You could get severely injured or your life could be lost.

Africa lets think about.
