The Informal Settlement Poem by MTHOKOZISI NTOKOZO MAPHUMULO

The Informal Settlement



you are a shiny city home for helpless
people.you are Gold to those who can
work by selling what ever they can
sell from empty bottles to cardboxes.
you make us proud by keeping us
alive and being next to our bread
Oh Lord see us through raining days
and keep our burning shacks safe
