Hell is knocking on the door
O God, this is it now
Save our souls this is war

An incredible Haiku, Jannie. As a fellow South African I reflect deeply on your message.

O Ally , you have no idea what your message means to me. I say this because a lot of people are living in complete denial and excacerbated by the media cover up. On the ground , people KNOW though. Im sick and tired of people living in la la land. Thank you .

I do not see replies to me because i did not sign up for notifications. Just now seeing the reply you made to me here. It's good to know that at least on the streets some are "finding" one another.

Andrea, its quite incomprehensible and defies description. I could send you clips to whats happenning in parliament its astonishing. its literal fact that beings came direct from shanties and became ministers of parliament. 75% of S.A. is illiterate. There is so much hate. Yet there is amazing love too. On the streets some are "finding" each other and there is goodwill in the strangest situations. Hype is not needed. But insanity is rife. Its curiously strange. The outcome is blank and anything could happen.

Jannie this is a sad, scary thought. Are you writing this to comment on a situation in the present? I hope not. You do write one heck of a good Haiku.

Hi Patricia, no its not safe. We are in dire danger. Please write something in your local newspaper . You may even be ridiculed. Maybe you can find me on facebook and share what you see. Its fullscale terrorism and govt supported and a media denial. Already there Re so voices heard from all over the world. Tried to send an email to Connie but its blocked by Yahoo.

Hallo again my favourite, its black monday today . Its a nightmare Patricia. I can hardly explain. Complete collapse and genocide on the white farmers. Our unarmed people have their backs to the wall with no leader. Our president is indicted with 783 charges and wont go. All his cronies have left this beautiful country in a hovel of depair, hate and fear.
