South Africa

The biggest problem with SA rugby is the same problem we have with all our sport. Political intereference is ruining it. We need the infrastructure and support, which the Sharks have with their Academy - where is the national body helping this? Where are our national systems like they have in Aiustralia. The New Zealand Academy doesn't really count because Murray Mexted will take anyone with NZ$25000.

What's happened to our cricket team, our netball team and our Hockey teams who were once up there with the top? Mediocrity to suit the national fever for blackrification at the cost of winning will cost us all in the long run if it's not dealt with today.

 

We're sitting very close to the tipping point, closer than most realise, and when it happens, with a heavy heart I'll leave the country of my birth and head to New Zealand for a life less complicated. It saddens me to see a land with so much promise and so much potential and talent being ruined by a few in power who have taken advantage of the downtrodden, rather than help them get up. It is Animal Farm in reality, and done much better than Zimbabwe ever could. It is a black scar on humanity's heart and it saddens me deeply.

Life

The time we spend being
Who we are being
When things work
When things don't

When life gets in the way
When life is the way
When we are
What we are
When we are

There are things just the way
That things are the way
When things are the way
That they are

Too much time
Too much energy
Spent trying to be
That all we can be

When we aren't
Just, you know
Be-ing
Just being

Life is just the gift
We don't want
But don't want to give back
When we know

We have no show
The more we know
The more we know
It's, just a show

Resolve, revolt, revolution
The insignificance of I
The uselessness of you
The whatever of whenever
Whenever we do

Just make me small
Just make me the way i was
When things worked
When it was what is

I know the way
I know the path
My heart treads it hopefully
mMy mind treads is wearily

Of the mind revolt
The mind insult
Intelligence ruins the show
Go with the flow

I life is just the show I know
The flow I go
The sway I flow
In the know
What a show!
