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).

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.

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

Hello Anil. Good Afternoon. There are no words be it government or man for lack of humanity and respect for the world that was built out of love and for mankind. I will leave it at that. I'm sorry for all that you and those around you see and witness not to mention endure. Have a wonderful night. Peace and Blessings to you and those around you. Shalom Shalom Shalom (smile)
