PIGEONS AT THE OPPENHEIMER PARK by Oswald Mbuyiseni Mtshali

I wonder why these pigeons in the Oppenheimer Park 

are never arrested and prosecuted for trespassing 

on private property and charged with public indecency.


Every day I see these insolent birds perched 

on 'Whites Only' benches, defying all authority. 

Don't they know of the Separate Amenities Act? 

A white policeman in full uniform, complete

With a holstered .38 special, passes by 

Without even raising a reprimanding finger

at offenders who are flouting the law.

they not only sit on the hallowed benches,

they also mess them up with birdshit.


Oh! Holy Ideology! look at those two at the crest 

of the jumping impala, they are making love in full 

view of madams, hobos, giggling office girls. 

What is the world coming to? 

Where's the sacred Immorality Act? Sies!




Sies: exclamation of disgust (Afrikaans)
