.        Borders Are Natural


Some rivers became so wide and

Deep, purposely I say, to prevent,


People and animals even foliage

From traversing the great divide.


Fish were employed to keep keen

Eyes on the banks at either side.


But migrating birds were forgotten

About in the apartheid master plan.


Swallows smuggled seedlings in

Their beaks, trees grew branches.


Organic arches began to form, then

Came the snakes and soon, ladders.


Borders are natural as hedge rows

On the edges the Lemmings Cliff.
