Land Of The Sun [rev.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

You expressed an acceptance last night damning
you to Hell; being a hermit you can’t be a people’s
person and I agree. I had swum to be reignited by
acquaintance with the sun, my skin tingling from
its kiss that has never been toxic to me

You can’t change but I believe we’re free to live
lives as we are without being wrong for not being
reformers or missionaries, everyone has a unique
path, is also true for you and I, so let’s embrace
ourselves being as we are

Rejoice being together and delighting in the sun;
our country is rescued by a priestly saviour, we live
on to take his legacy of reconciliation into all types
of relations - since we both love the people we work
with and offer our kids everything we can

We are showing Mandela how much we appreciate
the wonderful miracle he created for us in the
land of the sun
