<span style="color: #993300;"><em><strong>Dear Lover</strong></em> </span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I followed you on Twitter, sent tweets and you didn't reply and made me look like a twit.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I tried to send a poke on Facebook but you treated me as an Adventist would treat pork.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I was old school and sent you my letters but all I have are these envelopes written return to sender.</strong></span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Bound in fetters I found you,</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>loosed them and removed your rags of leather.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I robed you in fine linen but now you flee from me as if I robed without meaning.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Nowadays you dodge my love like you dodge the credit collectors,</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Dodging me like I'm the police and you are the foreigner without papers,</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Fearing me like a businessman fears SARS if all his assets ain't on paper.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Fleeing me as if I got fleas around me like a leper.</strong></span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>You do me wrong and live,</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Break all promises and think you are a pro at this.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Eskom doesn't even have your house on the grid, you live in meager means to put it politely.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Your neighbors believe your life is a TV show of survivor: the urban edition.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>You, pray when you have guests just so you make them believe your hungering is a holy fast.</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I set you to be the salt of the earth but you chose to be the ordinary herb thyme and not add any flavor to the world!</strong></span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Rolex Swiss, Bvlgari Italian, Casio Japanese watches you wear and you think you have all the time in the world!</strong></span>

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Who can redeem lost time?</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Try turning back the hands of the clock backward and what you have is the wrong time!</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Come whilst there is time,</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>In my house is bread, fruit, nourishment, raiment, if only you would stop in your steps I would restore you to this golden manor!</strong></span>
