sophiatown

the sophiatown i live in: is a place i call home is where i come to from work is a place riddled with crime is where i'm proud to be from is a place being renovated is where i'm not far from means is a place that gets frustrated by the westbury fiends the sophiatown i read about: is a place void of silence is where bra hugh got his trumpet is a place full of vibrance is where miriam caught hold of it is a place that was razed is where a new place was born is a place that couldn't be fazed by the lines that were drawn the sophiatown i love: is a place that i live in is where i've chosen to stay is a place that i read about is where that won't go away is a place that's still here is where apartheid escaped is a place made austere by the forces it shaped the sophiatown that inspires me: is very triumphant is very intact so what was your reason for doing that
