Atlantis
a lost island
as ancient times
would have it
Atlantis
a lost island
in apartheid times
designated and separated
Radio Atlantis
phoenix-like
has risen like
that legendary bird
a 20-year journey
sometimes a slog
a hike a trudge not
your average walk
in the eco-park
Radio Atlantis
community radio
bourgeoning
in the early days
of our democracy
not yet 21
in traditional-speak
though of age
it has come
punching above
its own weight
Hail Radio Atlantis
its youthful volunteers
and the Children’s Radio Foundation
All is not lost
A somewhat ancient ditty by folk songster Donovan comes to mind (“Radio Atlantis, a 20-year trek”, Cape Times, November 12 2015).
