Bargained goods, with the white man they would trade,
Converted to religion,
Seeds of destruction laid,
To grow they began.

House fire, tragedy,
Should not be alive really.
Child, only twenty-two months,
Nothing short of miraculous.

The Soviet Red army,
Witness scenes of inhumanity.
Imprinted in their conscience,
As they enter a ‘hole’ in the fence,

Pretending to play it ‘straight’.

People wish it would ‘go away’

Freedom did sing, democracy did win!

Familiar sound.
News, sombre tone,
Unwanted ‘milestone’.

For seventeen years they had been fooling,
All the professionals with all that 'schooling'!
By an artist with many skills of forgery,
Aided and abetted by his family.
