Excellent poem. I am led to believe that you are also an ex-Rhody. When you have time, and want to read some really brilliant work by a young man who died of meningitis when he was just nineteen, search the poet Jaryd Stapleton. I would like your opinion of his work, especially in light of his insight into the world at such a young age. Keep writing.

Brilliant. Really an amazing piece. Makes me, as a South African feel bad, knowing i cant do anything. Or perhaps we are too scared. Well written.

Tragic fact going on for many a year, unless life's clock stops ticking, no-one else will do anything I fear. Well written, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of this once beautiful and vibrant country - Cindy

Truly an African poem, filled with the image of drums, sound, cheers, screams. It is in my view a very powerful piece, nicely penned with African rythm.
