Trial and Error In Africa

I give up in despair The damage to repair Second hand theories abound Seeking to keep me safe and sound The laws are changing fast Communal activities now in the past Quarantines and lockdowns they order Virtually sealing the border We must all get infected Some practices we have rejected Morphing into copy cats While waiting to become laboratory rats

Well Melvin, in South Africa, I am glad Zuma is nt leading us during COVID19. Ramaphosa is a praying man, at least a more sane man. Yes, "second hand theories abound [and] morphing into copy cats" we are in my land of birth. I am ethnic Indian from 1860s indentured contract laborers for Natal Sugar estates. Blessings/shalom/Vrede
