How Long?
How long will we see... Fires burn our homes? How long before we live... In houses built of stone? When will be getting... Proper health servicces? When a person who is seriously sick... Dies and no longer exists? How long should I be sick? Very weak from TB? When my lungs are no longer active? And I can hardly breathe? When are we gonna have the right Sanitation services where we reside? Must we always go to the forest? Where we become victims of murder and molest? When it's that time of election You come around, making many promises But after having done everything (after voting is finished) Not a single one of you is anywhere to be seen! This was insired by: -->The news shown on TV quite a while ago about shack burnt in Joe Slovo -->An incdent that happened when I to a clinic and got the "I don't know anything about this disease, so I can't help." By the way, I got TB, that's why I went to clinic.I discovered it late last month while in hospital in Groote Schuur. I was told to go to the nearest clinic and get treatment, which is what I did, and have been doing for the whole month.That's when this happened.And still, I haven't been given treatment.
