Only In South Africa Poem by Melikhaya Zagagana

Cecil John Rhodes famously
said'The surface of the
earth is limited; there-
fore take as much as you see
able'

Well! there is nothing now
in the surface of the earth
for someone who wills much
for himself-; empty! empty!

So they stopped digging and
now are coiners and crooks.

Autumn has always been known
for stripping and injecting
yellow poison in trees preparing
them for servile winter:

A tear dropping scene when a leaf
lose its rightful position permanently
landing for the dead for which science
calls it compost.

Unlike corruption, it is not called politics
in other countries that are not South Africa.
