I need debriefing after reading Mandela’s
biography, I’m so disappointed in my own
people, the whole artificial made-up history
of Afrikaans-speaking people
Instead of integrity, found prejudice and bigotry,
my heart bleeding for the greatest love in the
heart of a freedom fighter spending his life as a
monk, separated from his love
Always dressed up for him while persecuted by
criminal elements instructed by the unprincipled
people who governed the sleepwalking Afrikaans
nation - so leave me alone
Let me cry as much as I want, tears choking me so
I can’t breathe, I HATE the history of the Afrikaans
Nazi national government in the 20th century, feel
like dying of shame
For being part of this ungodly, evil, devilish tribe…
