An ode to the Mother City

We have a Mountain
We have trees
We have fynbos
We have bees

We have a Mountain
We have shacks
We have squalor
Heaped in stacks

We have a Mountain
We have beaches
Sunny skies
And juicy peaches

We have a Mountain
Crime and politics
Friends and family
Steel and bricks

We had a Mountain
A wonderful place
We had a Mountain
But not the right face

We don’t have a Mountain
It’s with us not
We’ll always have a Mountain
No matter what.

We have a Mountain,
Bru.
