This is the forth year where I have been working free of charge as a volunteer at the Springs (Gauteng South Africa) Meals-on-Wheels office which is a welfare organization that does give meals to poor and elderly people as a volunteer where my wife is the manager. I cannot express a moderate view when I do experience the depths of the abyss where I do get involved with old people that do struggle to make a life and this poem is based on the true hard and real facts of life in both Springs and Brakpan in Gauteng South Africa where this branch of Meals-on-Wheels do operate. Currently in South Africa there is many people that are without work, (especially white people) and the others do unfortunately live lives just for themselves. Nothing that I have said is inaccurate and to state this kind of thing does mean that a person has not experienced the harsh realities of life.
