In a chilling world <br />where man is nothing more <br />than a mere animal <br />it may be true <br />that a heartless, girl without conscience <br /> <br />gives birth to a child <br />between the oozing puss, <br />smothers him, leaves him <br />for the dogs to scavenge <br />and walks away as if innocent <br />with purity in every pore <br />etched in to her heart, <br /> <br />that even the baby Jesus Christ, that destiny, <br />oppression are sited as the root cause <br />of this revolting deed, <br />but even animals <br />fend for their young <br />offering their own lives <br />to care and protect <br /> <br />and I wonder what type of beings <br />live in White City Jabavu <br />where humanity is totally lacking <br />or any tendency of love, of decency?<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-abandoned-bundle-in-answer-to-mbuyiseni-oswald-mtshali/
