November13 Already In South Africa

I
Nations thrive, connive, destruct -- the birds still instil awe, naturally 

II
Heretics and falsehood abound, but cows, even pigs, in town, reassure us of survival.

NOTE: In cities& towns in South Africa, the changes since Nelson Mandela's revolution, allows mainly black farmers & persons to let livestock roam towns for leftovers, rarely herding them.. Some eat plastic bags. Two are sleeping on the sidewalk, next to our only hotel, in Kerk Street, as  I write/ edit
