Cape Town

A city notorious for its crooks And famous for its looks With hills and mountains surrounded by brooks From the table-like mountain, beaches and parks, To tik, dagga and cracks Puff, puff, blow! Like smoke, vanishes all the beauty Flaring from East, North, West and South As its conquered by corruption And confined by the roaming racism and inequality Where a few jol, jogging and joggling in pyjamas While flocks in shacks sprint in fear everyday With their lives in jeopardy Getting neither help nor sympathy
