If it aint broke....

A spoken word verse

The broke man has no place in todays society

The broke man has no place in todays society. This is an assumption which can be disputed and argued over till kingdom come but as a supposed young, black, professional woman I reiterate the broke man has no place in todays society. 

While his counterparts wine and dine the opposite sex the broke man sits and contemplates his next move and scheme always thinking of a new and 'better' way to make money.
I reiterate the broke man has no place in todays society. 

While his peers climb corporate ladders and make an effort to be at that place at 8 and leave at five satisfied with their progress and smiling all the way to the bank, I reiterate the broke man has no place in today's society. 

While the 'Black Diamond' ideal is pushed and manages to classify society into the haves and the haves not, still the broke man struggles for he cannot take part in such a debate. A debate to foretell whether BEE is doing its job or not, because still the broke man has no place in today's society. 

While the suits, mustaches and fake smiles obliterate and ponder at the world banks and economic forums sitting in endless meetings to discuss the economic policies which govern the modern world yet emancipate only the wealthy, still the broke man has no place in todays society. 

With their tell all bellies bulging out of the finely tailored suits and Asian made cars speaking all for themselves, yes these men hold the power because struggle as he may, the broke man has no place in todays society. 

With no access to that opportunity wielding degree, with words written in fine print upon perfectly printed paper framed in a large holder which explains the the process of having funds to further education, but yes my broke brother you will continue to have no place in todays society. 

Frowns as long as the Nile, they express their disdain and impunity at the bills of right to poverty which save the broke man from himself, these bank notes of sponsorship do more harm than good because still the broke man has no place in today's society. 

While threats of a reccession are uttered like a dirty word the broke man rejoices, because aaah at last they will join him... Join him in the ranks of poverty as the dreaded word recession threatens to infiltrate their healthy bank accounts. 

Yet, he has miscalculated, because the finely tuned pennies which he uses to foretell their dreary future can not exist. For they have lied, the broke man will continue to be broke and live in this extreme state while the suits ponder over his life, for yes the broke man has no place in todays society.

Sorry Toxic this is not an exact limerick but I meant it to be a sort of poem which highlights an issue.

So sad a poem, I may say. Let's not 4get that it which defines one is not the depth of the pocket or the wealth they have but the spirit that is embodied with in the pysical being that is juxtaposed over the soul. Let's not 4get that what defines us is greater than our current state but wht is to cum and that shall be foretold by what you choose to become right now.

But true that is, we have been Eurocetralised to be defined by the material things that surround us.

Virtous
16 Apr 2009 13:55

It's unfortunate that the moment a person meets you, they do not wait to realise the kind of person you are or what traits you may inspire them with. Instead, its all about the cash, car and all other materialistic things.
Let's not 4get that what defines us is greater than our current state but wht is to cum and that shall be foretold by what you choose to become right now. 
Beautifully said.

Broke brothers are insecure

Broke brothers are very possessive

All these is likely to lead them to being emotionally abusive. No thanks!!

Generalising is very wrong.....every man is an individual...whether they are broke or not.....

Virtous
16 Apr 2009 14:51

But how many times has each one of us been broke? 
Sure, you could be broke at least at a certain time of the month but can you imagine being broke every single day? 
With little means of accessing a job? When you might even have a job like a miner for example but your whole salary is spent the moment you earn it, feeding yourself, wife and children minus other expenses. 
Yet you continue to dig for gold, financing the fat pockets of top management and providing jewels at ridiculous amounts for the wealthy...

Broke or not a broke man has a place in my life. If it happens that I fall for you there's nothing I can do about it. And it's just another day for me and you in paradise.

Who knows one day I might be broke, are the men out there not supposed to love me because I ain't got no cash. I I feel you I won't let that stop me from being with you.

@ Virtous...Lucky you...I believe in 'BE before Asking' Are you loaded? Shame, in SA with the unemployment rate so high I find it so disturbing to judge others by their pockets. How bout brains!!!! And determination!!!! Some are broke today but you don’t know bout tomorrow.
Besides yes there are deserving BEE peeps but the rest were just lucky & luck my friend fades, that’s when brains sustain....

Vivy (can't pronounce your name)..........Let me add to what Harambe said:

Tender Dudes - They drive Hilux, Mitsubitshi, Colt, etc 4x4.....usually white, black and Maroon.....

BEE - Black or any Dark colour Range Rover Sport Supercharged V8 Engine.....Most don't own the car, they r stil owing the bank....and 75% of them r from Limpopo and Mpumalanga.......50% of the 75% Speak Venda and the 25% of that 75% are Xhosas that have relocated to Polokwane and Nelspruit just for Tenders.....

REAL BEE - They have drivers and don;t drive themselves...and when the drive themselves, they r usually caught for speeding by traffic officers (Mostly around Midrand where their Nyantsi's live)......the reason they get caught is because hey don;t know where to find the breaks of these expensive German cars....when i say German car i'm not including VW by the way....VW is a fake german car...kinda like an LV bag bought in Hong King.....back to the Real BEEs.....They have private Jets that sometimes operate as transport for Xhosa "new men" .....hope u get my driff....

Now let me read your article......sorry i only read replies first....
