Erl Mbeha Biography

All the friends I had worked my whole life making
Will be strangers for I couldn't keep them.
No one will recognise my name on the radio
For I spent all my days alone in isolation.
...

We grew up with stone cold hearts
In the dark alleys, away from shine
Learning all the selfish ways
Vocabulary filled with I, me, mine
...

Don't bring me a fire
Because I'll grow cold again
Don't light my world
It will hurt my dilated pupils
...

If you burry me in Cow-Boy
Eventually people will build over my grave.

If you burry me in 'my village'
...

If love's a crime
Then I have committed a horrendous iniquity,
I do deserve to be put on death row.
