My Lord, more commercial farmers have died
than SADF soldiers in the Bush / Border war,
far too many times over this I have cried
and from a solution the government is far.
My God, people act savagely as they do kill,
rob, plunder, torture, dismember and rape
while they do Your Book of Judgement fill
and to this kind of thing there is no escape.
As in Zimbabwe farms they want to dispossess.
without caring about it causing widespread famine.
As the government acts as if problems it do redress
it does not its own senseless ineptness examine.
You do put governments and leaders in place
and now I beg You to act in Your amazing grace.
