Anil Deo Poet Rhyme

There Is a Lake

THERE is a lake somewhere
'midst pollution, coots & comorants thrive
Jewel in our overflowing sewage 
Creation endures Curse of (ANC, Adam &) Eve

NoTE:
ANC is the ruling party & government majority in South Africa since the elections of 1994. With hardly a basic maintenance program anywhere, every hospital, school, office, utilities, and national treasure left THE ANC by its predecessor (NP, nationalist party) is an eyesore, tragedy, or will soon be).

Paul Callus June 21, 2023 at 12:04 PM I pray for your country to solve at least some of its most serious problems, Anil. All humans deserve to live decently, and it's governments that bear the biggest slice of responsibility. ~ Best regards, my friend. Anil Deo June 21, 2023 at 7:24 PM Thank you dear Paul Callus. Hope can die a sad death. In S. Africa, the rich do notvseecwhatva missionary in townships sees. So, these problems do not exist in the formal discourse. Earth, kuds, & environment suffer vilely in many townships. Shalom
