MY son, I bore you for nine months in which I spent sleepless nights tossing and turning in bed. I winched in pain as I breast fed you every few hours. I held your hands and walked with you on your first day at school. I hugged you and whispered in your ear don’t cry son, ‘Mama will be back after school to take you home.’ With all the love I give to you at least you could have put some flowers on my grave.

“Oh Mama” you know that I always love you. The day you departed you tore my heart. Please forgive me mama for not placing any flowers on your grave. Instead I had to throw dozens of flowers into the Princes Street Canal after failing to locate your grave in the middle of the Jungle”.

The Le Repentir cemetery has now become a national disgrace thanks to the City Council. I am now left to wonder if our Mayor is planning to promote our City as the only capital with a jungle in its centre. Now is the time for the Mayor to start acting as if ants are in his pants and do something what has now become an eye-sore. Could somebody please tell me what is preventing City Council from clearing the cemetery.

As the son says “Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame on you”
