Poetry - A thousand Men

Men Lay over me like a thousand skies
Leaving solemn my soul
A restitution, void
no love 
just skies laying over me like a thousand men

This short piece speaks to the loneliness felt by a woman, her feelings of near worthlessness as men use her up and eat away from her self worth and giving nothing in return. 

Sizwe Bansi is Dead

Sizwe Bansi is Dead written by three of South Africa's greatest theatre gurus, John Kani, Athol Fugard and Winston Ntshona is one of my all time favorite scripts to read. It tackles with ease and humor issues of personal identity as well as apartheid.

to read the script which is published in the book 'Statements - Three Plays' together with "Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act" and "The Island" follow this link http://books.google.co.za/books?id=_PlLONSxX7QC&pg=PA153&lpg=PA153&dq=sizwe+bansi+is+dead+the+script&source=bl&ots=ICQVX-MWlr&sig=oiXXd28kqUVeLRO6LZrjcliDaWw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-bwkU 

I found it immensely amusing and have gone on to re-read it several times.
