Some Questions, Park Station

Who are all these people with pale faces sleeping on card boxes?
That's my first question Paki, Park Station.

Are they waiting for a train since yesterday - since last year, can one wait for a train for a whole decade?

Who are all these ladies carrying such heavy bundles talking in distant tongues them Afro businesswoman at the cheapest hotel?

Whose shacks are all these right in the centre of the golden city, whose kids are all these…. wherever do they buy whatever they are sniffing? is that what they're taught in your waiting-room-class-rooms

that's a question, Park Station.

You may have altered your direction from PWV to Gauteng from SA Railways to SA Spoornet but that makes no difference 'cos you're bound to be found and trailed to trial

But I find you … NOT guilty!

actually, you're praise worthy for the comfort you provided for the outcasts and the roofless.

Acquitted and knighted! and no more question, my Station but a simple poem-end.
