There Was A Fight

There Was a Fight

There was a fight in this house

While I slept

Unusually from 5 till midnight.

There was a fight

And someone smashed the desktop.

No, not mine

But even so …

The police were here

I heard them come

And vaguely saw legs move past my door

‘Police. Who called? Is this the house?’

Disembodied voices spoke

Then I passed out again

Not knowing why they came, nor even if

They came for real.

There was a fight last night

In this house

The desktop smashed

Because it is not his to take

A man arrested; gone to jail

A man who spoke of love and care

While anger bred relentless violence in his soul.

There was a fight in this house last night

While I slept unusually from 5 till midnight.

Why could I not wake?

Thumbs up for SA
South Africa is doing well as host of the 2009 Fifa Confederations Cup, particularly in the high standard of its facilities, areas around stadiums and base camps for teams, says high-ranking football official Horst Schmidt.

I have not heard much from the detractors that would that the World Cup Series 2010 will fail: that SA is ot able to host the event and that the Confederation Cup event would prove this.
