For Six Days The Power Was Down In Springs Poem by Gert Strydom

Previously:
A former mayor had in the paper written of this:
after a robbery, to maintain the municipality did miss

in the city of Ekurhuleni in Springs town,
that after a resulting explosion the power is down.

The town-council was warned that the power-station will burn,
where with acts as these the regime does discontent earn,

and no maintenance was done to avoid it,
while it seems to me ineptness does the ruling party fit,

where the ANC do rule and regulate
where everyone does this situation hate:

with inside knowledge the facility was robbed,
where to me no attempt was made to have ineptness stopped

Right now:
after a explosion a power-station did burn
at this kind of disaster we got another turn,

without power as if primitive,
some residents and I for six days had to live.
