Another poem about how angry we are. Obsessive Pissed-off Disorder is a condition that may be mistaken as benign, but could be severely harmful in effect. The condition can affect anyone as it can lie dormant within the individual for long periods of time. initial symptoms may be aggravated by newspaper articles, bad service or failure to do anything for ones country. It could end in your, my, our frustration, hunger or sometimes, death. :) O.P.D

OPD
……………………..
OPD Obsessive Pissed-off disorder
That’s what I think I might have
Because I'm obsessively
Not so orderly
Pissed off with so much shit in my country
Like how fucking late I get
'Cause I waited in traffic for the president
Or some dignitary to pass by
Like I ain’t gotta be somewhere on time,
Funny enough I always get stuck in these.
Or how THAT ONE at the counter feels the need to speak right into your face
While for six weeks she hasn’t brushed her teeth
Or at least it smells like it
Oh and like when that damn taxi driver changes his mind about heading to your destination halfway through the trip at the shittiest time and place and just kicks you off his cab.
The carless will relate.
Or when my people are stuck in queues for hours and finally get to the front, but are met by an auntie that says: "Solly, I'm on runch"
(sound play)
Or the situation in the States, because you would think that the state of people’s health would be more important than the state of any country’s pocket.
And my OPD, my OPD is worsened when English dailies spent so much time daily focusing on dresses shaped like sacks of mielies
Cos they’re not okay with the outfits of our choices
But I am not my clothes, so take pictures
Or how we have a million or is it billion dollar state house?
I don't know the exact amount because when I saw who was building it I lost count.
Anyway, how we have that house and some kid in the rural’s gets ready in the mornings to herd cows
How his granny spend hours in a queue to get a pension that's more like peanuts.
Are we feeding a mouse?
How she had had to bury her daughter last week
Because she was slayed remorselessly by a confused younging and how that confused younging is another thing that obsessively pisses us off about our country.
Yes, I think we might just have OPD
We might just have OPD (x4)
(sound play)
