MIDDLEMAN

Lindokuhle Langa 1995 (gauteng)



if you're reading this is for you.
A directed reminder that you should know...
middleman should be a direct log in without tuning in this letter,
now, next and the later.
you may have fun trying a newspaper developing a filter that you may feature, you're no factor on this picture.
fix your emotional temper for I am disturbing your blind mind weaker.
Oh middleman, middleman.
dare not friend a friendly formation,
either I hire or fire behind you nor in front of you...
that might find the sea seem blind, yet you become a middleman.
Little you know is better than a middle finger prior on reading this knockout that needs a source cooks you out.
