Riding on the Back of a Poor Man are poems written by Doreen expressing what she experienced and also saw done to poor people. For some of us we need hardship to break us and mould us. Some of us when we prosper we tend to relax and not depend on God. These poems are also about grand-mothers who take care of their grand-children. There are poems such as "Riding on back of the poor man and a ride on the poor woman's shoulders'. These are about how some rich people take advantage of poor people. The poems are also about how some women both young and old do not value their lives. I met a young Colored woman whom I heard her telling a man that he could just bring cold drink which costs R10 and she was prepared to do "everything." She thought I was a foreign national who did not understand Afrikaans. When she started to explain what she was going to do with the man, by the way that was in the presence of her two daughters aged between 7 and 9 years. I asked her to stop her conversation. Both of them were shocked because they judged me based on my foreign clothes that I wore. I also wrote about those who call sin pleasure.
