The soccer world cup comes to South Africa, more remembered by the sounds than the sport.

Vuvuzela, Mandela

Vuvuzela
Mandela
One pitch cacophony
Piercing decibels
One nation’s symphony
Of forgiven cells
Joyous bellicose sounds
Ephemeral bafana fun
God’s heaven bound
Invictus’ work done
A rainbow of noise and colour
Starts and ends as one

Cape Town, South Africa, December 2010
