Siphelele Shabalala Poet Dramatic Verse

Who Does the Cap Fit

If the man is tamed
And restricted
From his responsibilities
Then who does the cap fit?

If the head
Is the tail
While the neck
Is the head
Through the lack of character
Then who does the cap fit?

If the protection
Is not providing
For the maximum protection
Then who does the cap fit?

If the songs are not sung
And praises are not being said
In the absent of the leader
And through lack of character
Then who does the cap fit?

One sleep
One blink
And all is gone
Lack of character
Who does the cap fit?

People are always quick to take credit bit slow to accept responsibility. Your writing shows that you are alive to these questions and I sincerely hope that we all benefit from the answers. Kind regards, Ian
