Let Us First Care About Our Own People (In Answer To Don Mattera) Poem by Gert Strydom

Let us first care about our own people,
to their preservation,
to jobs and education to them
while we give a future to our children.

Let us close the borders
to the millions of illegal aliens
and those that are here,
send them all back home

and give a chance to make a living,
for all of the people of this country
by merit that they can live in dignity
and can be free from oppression

or never will we burn old uniforms,
or forget grievances as new ones
are continually being formed,
or never will we be able
to turn our spent dreams
into something new and real,
or be better than our old traditions
be able to still the tumours in many hearts
or give our children any kind of future.
