The poem set inSouth Africa, illustrates a union where rich and poor are divided.He remembers when he was a son and the laws, enforced by police thatseparated the whites from the blacks. He has come digest to Cape Townand intoxicaten that Nothings changed in the apartheid.Imtiaz Dharker author of Blessing has written a descriptive poem,set in a hot country, where there is a famine of water, as told inthe opening bloodlines of the poem where the human skin is compared to aseedpod, drying out till it cracks.
