With A Virus In South Africa They Do Spread Death And Pain Poem by Gert Strydom

As if regulations are just applicable to some
minibus taxi operators operate for selfish gain
as they transport people to work and home

do block streets and unruly do roam
where at a time no passengers will remain.
As if regulations are just applicable to some

more state control like in communism does come
and with a virus they do spread death and pain
as they transport people to work and home

and murderous their actions do seem gruesome
while racist laws apply and righteousness has a stain
as if regulations are just applicable to some

and whatever they do the government do welcome,
while many more people do die and all seem in vain
as they transport people to work and home

and state-control and a curfew is meddlesome
as no other business do from the COVID-19 impact regain,
as if regulations are just applicable to some
as they transport people to work and home

Postscript:
to benefit just some of the rainbow-nation
and taxi operators to the law run rife
while laws apply for only some of the population
as they do initiate lawlessness and strive,
are against any kind of emergency recommendation
and eventually just a few people remain alive
