Comparing two poems “”Two scavengers in a truck, two beautiful people in a Mercedes and “Vultures”
In this section I will be comparing two poems on the theme politics and inequality “Nothing’s changed” by Tatamkhulu Afrika and “Vultures” by Chinua Achebe. “Nothings changed” is about the poet talking about where he lived “District Six” and how it was a mixed-race area, but when apartheid was introduced in South Africa it become a white only area this shows the equality there was between the black and white people. Now under Nelson Mandela’s government, it’s supposedly mixed again but Afrika sees little difference. The poem “Vultures” is about the poet comparing the two vultures that have disgusting eating habits, but they are still capable of affection for each other and the Nazi officer who is cruel and murderous during the day but a loving father and husband when he comes home.
