Marlon Khoza is a South African theatre maker, playwright, author and creative director.
Who'd have ever thought...
About the world becoming so motionless
Feeble and partly cold
As it gasp through the gash of Covid-19
...
Why is he there in sunny and in rainy
In the cold winter and blazing summer
At the crossroad of life and death
This corner is his home
...
Why wait for the rain
When crops are drying up
fields pounding up
By hovering dust that will grow in to a mountain
...
They built a house
Painted it white just the way they are
And named it the 'white house of hope'
Spew now, mother!
