Scream: A Brief History Of Oppression Chapter 06 Poem by Martin Lochner

*6*

we serve a cucumber sandwich queen
giving our lives in two wars
when the northern hemisphere turns mad
bi polar churchill sends us to die
in suicide missions in caen and tripoli

independence given after enough blood
is spilled and king george visits our shores
giving folk the royal wave and a practised smile

pennies and pounds become rands and cents
afrikaners control our destiny again
never! we cry under oath
will the boers submit again
we would rather die on our feet
than crawl on our knees seeking mercy
