The Other Side Of Rough (2) Poem by Elna Nel

The Other Side Of Rough (2)



Africa that raid you
and what in worldly minyan
gathered in gossip
and laid you
in dark consequences
of people's decisions

a victim of what you
haven't done
and who knows
that's what you did
and afterwards
when many souls cry
and your eyes are not dry

justice is a grey bird still
turning and moving
sometimes tumbling
for this reason and that
flying…..
in the direction of the sun
